MICH. Bring Out the Hidden Beauty Beneath the soiled, discolored, faded or aped complexion is one fair to look upon. Mercolized Wax gradually, gently absorbs the devitalized surface skin, revealing the young, fresh, beautiful skin underneath. Used by refined women who prefer complexions of true naturalness. Have you tried it ? I I \\T ~v In one ounce package, with direc jyierCOUZed Wax tions for use. Bold by all drugsista. Mrs. McL. B.— Peggy Hyland is the girl you refer to in the picture. Louise B. — See addresses at the end Hi The Oracle. Nellie H.— Ditto. L. C. — You can reach any of your favorites by writing to them at the addresses given at the end of The Oracle. Miss Bernice R. — Where do you send for the "Market Basket?" You must mean the Market Booklet. Write to the editor of Picture-Play, inclosing six cents in stamps, and he will mail you a copy. It contains a list of all the motionpicture companies and tells you what kind of stories they are in the market for. I am sure you will find it very helpful. F. J. N. — Yes, it is the same Florence Turner who was with Vitagraph eleven years ago. Florence was practically the first well-known motion-picture star, and was known as the "Vitagraph Girl." She looks better now than she ever did before. For some time she devoted nearly all of her time to war work, but is now an active member of the Los Angeles screen colony. She has bought herself a nice home in Los Angeles and will stay there. You certainly are an enthusiastic admirer of hers. Chaplin Fan. — Charlie Chaplin's latest picture for First National is called "Sunnyside" ; and it is his first since "Shoulder Arms." Charlie takes a world of time on his pictures, but they are there like a million when he finishes with them. Toots. — "Loving Oracle" is a brandnew one on me. You are the first to pin such a label on yours truly. Maybe you'd change your heading if you knew me. Slapstick comedy is a polite way of saying "rough house." Throwing pies, rocks, kicking people, et cetera. Sorry you didn't like it. I did. "Vicky Van" is one of her latest Paramount releases. Her hair is golden red, and her eyes are blue. So you haven't forgotten your two favorites, Charles Ray and William S. Hart? One of Charlie's latest pictures is called "The Busher," and "The Money Corral" is a recent Bill Hart offering. Sandwich, Illinois. — William S. Hart is in California at present making his Artcraft features at his Los Angeles studios. He is not going to desert the screen for another year, having recently made an announcement to that effect, so you will have another twelve months in which to see your favorite. I Ador A. M. — Antonio Moreno is doing serials with Carol Holloway for Vitagraph. Their latest is called "The Perils of Thunder Mountain." Sounds real thrilling, doesn't it? It is. Yes, they receive their mail personally, as you call it. B. C. — Does that stand for your initials or how old you feel? Harrison Ford is the gentleman's name and he has not as yet been ensnared by the wiles of Daniel Cupid. So you think PtcturePlay Magazine is so entertaining? That's fine ! I hope you'll tell your friends the same thing.
