140 MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE Mabqueritk T. W. — O. A. C. Lund and E. Roseman in "Partners" (Eclair). No doubt that player would answer you it* you didn't write him a love-letter. Vkssa H. — Ethel Phillips was the wife, and Stephen Purdee was the invalid in "The Fatal Shot" (Kalein). Kappa Epsilon. — That Pathe" was foreign, and we have no cast. Carlyle Blackwell has left Glendale and is now in Hollywood, Cal. We will print Isabel Rea's picture just as soon as Pathe send us one. Neva A. — The picture you enclose is of Arthur Johnson. Billy Mason is with Essanay. Why dont you read the back numbers? Alkali is taken from the Arabic al, the, and kali, the plant from the ashes of which soda was first obtained, but there isn't much alkali in Ike. Alkali Ike is with Universal. Miss P.. Detroit. — Please give name of company whenever possible. Mary Pickford is called Little Mary, I believe, because she is so diminutive. Sunshine, Chicago. — William Shea was the father in "The Street Singers" (Vitagraph). Yes, it was a very interesting picture. You are away off; London, New York, Paris, Berlin and then Chicago — not third, as you say. Lincoln, 17. — Florence Dye had the lead in "The Silver Grindstones" (Selig). Rosetta Brice and John Ince in "A Servant to the Rich" (Lubin). William Taylor was the son, Bertie Pitcairn the nurse in "The Secret of the Bulb" (Vitagraph). Adele Lane in "Father's Day" (Selig). E. M. B., London. — William Dunn was Harvey Livingston, and Harry Morey was Dan Harwood in "The Line-up" (Vitagraph). Never heard of that company. That's one thing I cannot do — keep track of the new companies that are springing up every day like mushrooms, and doubtless many of them will live about as long. Olga, IT. — Harriet Notter was the girl, William Stowell the sweetheart and Al Garcia the villain. Joe Hazelton was the father in "With Eyes So Blue and Tender." Portland Twins. — Edwin August played in "When Kings Were Law" as the cousin. Know of no studio at present in Oregon. Billy Quirk is with Vitagraph now. H. M. C. W. — William West is with Kalem, and there is a William West with Edison, and a Charles West with Biograph. Different manufacturers have different ways of making their titles (leaders or subtitles, as they are called). If printed type is used, the letters are cut out of cardboard and laid flat on a table. The camera is then placed overhead, pointing down, and pictures of the letters are taken at the rate of sixteen a second for about ten seconds. Pauline, 18. — In October, 1911, Mary Pickford was with Majestic, and her husband, Owen Moore, was directing. No to that Costello question. Z. X. F. T. C. — Edward Dillon and Grace Lewis in "The Noisy Suitors" (Biograph). Frances Ne Moyer was Dot in "Detective Dot." Your letter was fine. J. S. B., Ocean Grove. — E. H.

Earle Foxe opposite Florence Lawrence in "The Influence of Sympathy" (Victor). Dorothy F., Chicago. — Thomas Santschi in "The Adventures of Kathlyn" (Selig). Charles Clary is the Hindu Prince.

I think it is rather a nice habit Yale Boss was the bell-boy in "Archie and the Bell-Boy." W. T. H. — Your Monthly should be issued weekly. I agree with you as to the excellence of the acting of Harry Morey. Certainly that was Jack Standing in the Path(e). We all pronounce Sais Sah-eece,but some call it simply saas. I accept your correction as to the size of Clara Kimball Young's eyes ; they are 24-karat brilliants. Ernia D. — Gene Gauntier was the girl in "Come Back to Erin" (G. G. Co.). Stephen Purdee and Anna Nilsson in "Telltale Stains" (Kalem).
