142 MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE Abasoubdi. —No, I do not believe that salary report at all. The General Film is the largest. Thanks. Vyrgynya. —Too Y's you are, but not too frequent. Robert Burns was Ben in "Her Present" (Lubin). J. Warren Kerrigan was Garriot in "The Bolted Door" (Victor). Vera Sisson opposite him. George Middleton was Kenton in "Kenton's Heir" (Pathe). You always obey the rules. Herman. —The following letter from the Motion Picture Patents Company seems to convey the information you want: "Our records will not give the in- formation you ask for. We understand, however, that the Edison Manufacturing Company, predecessor to Thomas A. Edison, Inc., released the first Motion Picture film.

Joy. —Many thanks for your very nice letter. It is full of messages from the woodlands and wilds. Thanks very much. H. M. L., Greenfield. —Josie Ashdown was the little girl, and Florence Crawford was the older girl in "The Queen of the Water-Nymphs" (Majestic).

That was Ramona Langley in "Teaching Dad a Lesson" (Nestor). Richard Stanton was the hus- band, Thelma Slater was the son, and Barney Sherry was the grand-dad in "The Sea-Dog" (Broncho). King Baggot was Tony, and Marie Hall was the nurse in "The Return of Tony" (Imp). The female of the species usually writes longer letters than the male. HnxYBiix.—Art Ortega was the chief, Rex Downs was the thief, and Charles Bartlett white medicine man in "The Medicine Man's Vengeance" (Kalem). Ormi Hawley was Marion in "The Price" (Lubin). Yes, I agree with you about Louise Orth, the foremost Biograph blonde and a pretty girl. Thanks. Ida K.—Brinsley Shaw in "A Deal in Real Estate" (Lubin). No, he is not dead. The scene you refer to looked arti- ficial, and therefore it was not art. Mubl S.—Thanks very much for the snap-shot. Very pretty. So you would like the puzzle picture of me, would you? I object seriously. There are lots of Could Be's and Will Be's in the Motion Picture business, and quite a few Would Be's. M. A. D.—I hope there is no hidden meaning in those initials. No, I am not Augusta Belding Fleming. You should see Maurice Costello in "Mr. Barnes of New York"—just too utterly too-too. A F«SE EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE EARLY MOVING PICTURE HOUSES
