MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE
A. G. A., Bermuda. — You ask if films can be duplicated any number of times. Yes. The original is called a negative, and from it they may make as many "positives" as they wish. The positives are what are used to throw the picture on the screen. In the negatives, the colors are reversed, i.e., black is white, and white is black. When y<»u guess that I am E. V. B. or, J. S. B. himself, you show that you are a poor guesser. Neither of those busy B's is me.
Amanda K. — Owen Moore in "Caprice" (Famous Players). Mary Fuller in "Romance of Rowena" (Edison). Gwendoline Pates in "The Exclusive Kiss" (PathS). Lillian Christy in "The Greater Love." Robert Harron in "A Yaqui Cur."
E. D. M., Buffalo. — William Duncan had the lead in "By Unseen Hand" (Selig). I believe that was taken at Tucson, Ariz. Yes, that magazine is trying to sell stock. It looks like the last expiring effort, but we sincerely hope not.
J. P. S., New Orleans. — Welcome to our city. I am as glad as you are that you have discovered this magazine. Will be pleased to hear of your tour.
Sis and Sis's Sister. — Jane Carter and L. Von Ottinger were the two girls with Florence Lawrence in "His Wile's Child" (Victor). Bessie Eyton was the girl in "The Master of the Garden" (Selig). Thanks.
Clarence S. V., Saratoga. — Harold Lockwood was Bob, and Amy Trash was Cicely Moore in "Hoyden's Awakening" (Selig). Dell Henderson was the husband in "Blame the Wife" (Biograph). Charles Murray was the tramp in "All Hail to the King."
Emily Van R. — I cant tell you where you can see "The True Bridesmaid" (Edison) again. It is getting old now, and it is too bad that there is not some way for you to find out where it is to be shown. That is one of the defects in the business. You say you saw this play and want all your friends to see it, yet you cannot tell them how.
Forgetmenot. — It may not be proper to write personal letters on the typewriter, but the Answer Man prefers them every time. Gertrude Robinson in that Biograph. Claire McDowell in "The Mirror" (Biograph), also in "Tbe Stolen Loaf" and "The Crook and the Girl" (Biograph).
Maisie. — Tom Carrigan is not with Selig at present, but on the stage. Selig is simply a man's name. It is pronounced See-lig. That was Jessalyn Van Trump opposite Warren Kerrigan in "The Passer-by" (Victor). I did not see "The Devil's Servant" that you disliked so much. Beverly Bayne played opposite Mr. Bushman in "Dear Old Girl." Your verse is very good.
