Motion Picture Story Magazine (Feb 1914 - Sep 1916 (assorted issues))

Jennie M. — Mr. Elmer J. McGovern, the new N. Y. Motion Picture publicity man, has kindly offered to supply us with information, so go as far as you like in asking Keystone, KayBee, Broncho and Domino questions. Ask your exhibitor for Famous Players pictures. Dont know where Grace Lewis is at present. M. R. D., Newark. — Jack Harvey was Norton in "Love's Sunset" (Vitagraph). Harold S. — You must give the names of the companies. Sorry we cannot answer you. Gen. Film Co. — So you want to popularize Claire McDowell — go ahead. We have been trying to get a good picture of Charles Murray, but we are still trying. Thanks. Herman. — You cant always most generally sometimes tell. Never judge a player by her complexion, her teeth or her shape — they all may be false. They say that the camera cannot lie, but it can and does. Try Essanay. Miss D., Newburgh. — Harry Millarde was the sweetheart of Alice Joyce, and Tom Moore was Humpty Johnson in "The Hunchback" (Kalem). Yelma Whitman and Ray Gallagher in "For Her Brother's Sake" (Lubin). So you would like to have William Humphrey for your daddy. Thank you so much for the large fee and clipping. Miss H. C. — Marguerite Clayton is G. M. Anderson's leading lady. You will rue the day that you left home and mother to join a picture company. Dont do it. Ollie M. — Perhaps you refer to True Boardman. Margarita Fischer is now with American, Santa Barbara, Gal. She is so fair that an angel must needs pause in its flight and imprint a tender kiss on her snow-white brow. (A little slow music here, professor.) THE TELEGRAM PUZZLE The judges in the Telegram Puzzle contest, that closed on January 15th, desire to an' nounce that it is utterly impossible to select the winners in time for publication in this issue. They desire to add that among the 16,000 answers received there are about 200 which are so superlatively excellent that they will be placed on exhibition in a room set aside for that purpose. Probably no magazine in the world has ever received such a superior set of artistic solutions to a contest. Some of the answers to the telegram are handsomely embroidered on silk, some exquisitely painted on satin, some engraved, some printed, some etched, and some written in gold. Gold lace, wax flowers, silk cord, pretty feathers, and pink ribbons galore, embellish the various devices on which the answers appear, and some are truly works of art. We are all astonished at the remarkable talent shown by our readers, and we are proud indeed to place these wonderful tokens on exhibition. In the course of the next week after this magazine has been issued, the prizes will have been awarded and forwarded, and the names of the successful contestants will be published in the April number. The correct answers were Johnson, White, Fuller. Ostriche, loung. August, Sweet. Hawley. Costello, Leonard. O. Moore. Normand. Reid. Powers. Bushman, Lawrence. Bunny, Walker, Fielding. Pickford, Pates, Olcott. Dillon, Ridgely. Turner, Joyce, T. Moore. Wilbur. Anderson and Snow.
