Crane Wilbur in "Gypsy Love." L. McN. S. — Henry Stanley was Ramon in "Turning the Tables" (Lubin). Velma Whitman was the daughter. I cant tell you who was the "lady who appeared beautifully embroidered" in a lovely white silk dress," nor can I find out who was the villain who embroidered her. D. F. — Years ago I knew the Gregg system. Mae Marsh in that Biograph. Yes; Vitagraph is to have an elegant theater of its own at Forty -.fifth St. and Broadway, and I suppose the other companies will follow suit Mr. Kleine is also building one. Mrs. G. S. — We dont hear much about that concern. Broncho and Keystone are both under the New York Motion Picture Co. management. Barbara C. — Thank you very much for the beautiful foreign postals. Beautiful! Matilda K. — James Lackaye was Hans in "The Coming of Gretchen" (Vitagraph). So you just want to know the size of my shoe.

Wi H. — Yes, a spade's a spade, whether you hold an ace-high or are digging for worms or a grave. But I must use parliamentary language here. Many fools rush in, but a few angels do not fear to tread, and that keeps up my spirits. You know that grass-widowers are called such because they usually let no grass grow under their feet. Courtenay Foote is with Mutual. Had I space I would tell you how to live, but I may say this : it all depends on the liver. Walter O. — Mr. Frauz opposite Miss Farley. They can get any film they want, provided the exhibitor is getting pictures of that class. If he is getting first-run, he can select any first-run. Why dont you complain about the ads on the screen?
