Yes, Ramon Novarro and Alice Terry are playing together. By all means write again. Helen M. — Too bad, too bad, but since misfortunes cannot be avoided, let them be graciously borne. No, Ramon Novarro is not married. He is twenty-four and has played on the stage. After "The Spanish Dancer," the fiery Pola Negri will play in "My Man." Alice Admirer. — Dont forget that a good thing is all the sweeter when won with pains. Hoot Gibson in "The Pony Express." Always send twenty-five cents when requesting a picture from a player. Address him at Metro, 1025 Lillian Way, Los Angeles, Cal. You're welcome. Frances Ann. — No, I dont get much money, but I have a lot of fun.

He was with Warner Bros, in "George Washington, Jr." last, and he played in "Sawdust." Jack Mower was the chauffeur. Eleanor G.

Hector. — Well, I wont say it. It wasn't a nice thought. I was reading in a little book I have which is over one hundred and thirteen years old that modesty is sure the chiefest ornament of our sex, and cannot be blamable in the men ; it is one of the most amiable qualities that either man or woman can possess. You wouldn't think so today. Niles Welch was Roy in "The Cup of Life." Clever letter yours. Movie Fan.— Why worry for something you cannot get ; usually it is not a want but merely a desire.

Bessie Love is to play in "Gentle Julia" for Fox. Yes, Mae Murray is with Metro. E. H. — Yes, it is all settled.
