Yes; Director Griffith and Lillian Gish, Robert Harron, Blanche Sweet, Donald Crisp, Henry Walthall and Dorothy Gish have all gone to California to make pictures. Hattie S. — You act like a chicken with its head cut off. You do a lot of fluttering, but dont accomplish much. I dont care whether Helen Costello keeps a diary or whether Lillian Walker is engaged to Earle Williams, and dont purpose finding out Please ask sensible questions. Then yours will be more welcome.

Chester Withey and Edward Coxen in "The Trail of the Lost Chord" (American). S. P. V., Patterson. — Dont know where that player is from.

M. — I accept your correction regarding "Toney," the snake. I thought he was a tame one, but you say he was imported from Mexico and then had his fangs removed. Sorry Toney is dead. Mr. Fielding seems to have a liking for the gruesome. Alta A. — James Cooley, Frances Nelson and Claire McDowell in "Diversion" (Biograph). Yedah Bertram is dead. Your wishes are numerous; you wish that Edith Storey were more beautiful, that Orini Hawley were less stout, that Alice Joyce were more vivacious, that Mary Fuller were less affected, that Anita Stuart painted less and dressed better, that Sarah Bernhardt were younger, that Mary Pickford were larger, that Lillian Walker laughed less, that Mabel Normand was more stationary, and that Clara Kimball Young had some of Kate Price's flesh.

Maude Fealy and Harry Benham in "An Orphan's Romance" (Thanhouser). When the outlook is not good, try the uplook. H. T. B., Buffalo. — The famous Mary who had a little lamb was a real character. She was a Massachusetts girl, and her lamb was one of twins dispossessed from their pen by its cruel mother, just as it was later dispossessed from school by the heartless teacher. A young riding-master named Rowston was present on that immortal day, and he wrote those verses that have made him more famous than Dante and Milton. There is no sign of Florence Lawrence and Arthur Johnson playing opposite each other, nor Alice Joyce and Carlylc Blackwell. Girlie Tj. — Rex and Eclair films are under the Universal brand. William Stoweil was leading man in "His Guiding Spirit" (Selig). Harriet Notter was the girl. Harold Lockwood with Famous Players. Helen C, Springfield. — Harry Beaumont in "The Witness to the Will." The verse is good, but I haven't room for it here. Myrtle Stedman in "Mother Love vs. Gold." R. W. — Thomas Santschi in the picture you enclose, not William Clifford.
