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

RVMEN This department is for information of general interest, but auestions pertaining to matrimony, relationship, photoplay writing, and technical matters will not be answered. Those who desire answers by mail, or a list of the film manufacturers, must enclose a stamped, addressed envelope. Address all inquiries to "Alicwei Department," writing only on one side of the paper, and using separate sheets for matters intended for Other departments of this magazine. When inquiring about plays, give the name of the company, if possible. Each inquiry must contain the correct name and address of the inquirer at the end of the letter, which will not be printed. At the top of the letter write the name you wish to appear. Those desiring immediate replies, or information requiring research, should enclose additional stamp or other small fee; otherwise all inquiries must await their turn. Read all answers and file them. This is the only movie encyclopaedia in existence. William Clifford Admirer. — Good morning! Walk in! You will find a picture of your patron saint in our Gallery. Margaret Gibson is playing opposite William Clifford now. Grace Van Loon. — I enjoyed your letter telling about the Forsyth Dental Infirmary where hundreds of poor children are treated daily. Rankin Drew is directing Anita Stewart and she is doing great work, they tell me. Yes, I am copying Chaplin's walk. 'Twas ever thus — the poor learn their vices from the rich. Saskatoon. — Write to the American Company about that photoplay. Metro have a New York studio. The "Who Pays?" series is finished, and now the "Who's Guilty?" is running with Anna Nilsson and Tom Moore. Frank Farrington is with Fox. Florence LaBadie remains with Thanhouser. Philmphan, Newark. — Dorothy Green was Mazora in "A Wonderful Adventure" (Fox). Mrs. R. S. — Thanks for your kind letter. R. B. I., Buffalo. — Irene Wallace is not playing now. Sis Hopkins with Kalem. Margaret Gibson is with Horsley. I cannot prevent thoughts coming any more than I could keep birds from flying over my head, but I try to prevent their building nests in my beard. Harry W. — We had a chat with Harry Morey in June, 1915. So my department is widely read at Yale. Good for you, my dear old college chumps. Pickford Mae.— Fred Church is with Universal. Edward Overton was opposite Lillian Walker in "The Little Doll's Dressmaker." House Peters is with World. Pauline Frederick played in "Audrey." Nancey T., Seattle. — If there is anything I hate, it is fair-weather friends. They will sail with you while the weather is fair, but when you spring a leak, they take themselves to the boats rather than to the pumps. Fannie Ward in "The Cheat" (Lasky). The Hoosier Girl. — William Morse was the villain, Clarissa Sehvyime was Mrs. Steven Farley in "Her Own Way" (Metro). Enid Markey is with Triangle. Pat O'Mally is with Lubin. You shall have a picture of Clara K. Young, the Editor said, and you see he has already did the deed. Curious, Johnson City. — Dorothy Davenport (Universal) is well connected screenific ally. She is the daughter of Alice and Harry Davenport, the niece of Fanny Davenport, and the wife of Wally Reid. Stuart Holmes was Munzell, Frederick Perry was Dr. Rameau in "Family Stain." Dorothy Bernard was the girl. I take back what I said about her beauty, for I have seen her when she was beautiful and I have seen her when she was not. Anyway, she is an artist always. Justice. — I shall hand your letter to the Editor. None for me, thanks! Man proposes and then woman imposes. Marguerite Clark played in "Wildflower." Togo. — That's one of my old ones — "What happens when an irresistible force comes in contact with an immovable body?" I wrestled with it years ago. I really dont know Johnny Mouse's address. Evelyn A. — No, indeed, three times a week isn't too much to go to the movies — not for me. Thank you for the new title you have given me — "The Champion Advice-Giver of the World." Advice is something that we should all receive, and something that we are all willing to give, and something we are all reluctant to follow. Lady Baltimore. — Thanks for the clipping. Henry Murdock was Sam in "A Leap Year Wooing" (Kalem). I think Sam Bernard is dead wrong and envious when he says "It cant last; they're going to tire of the movies. The theatrical public is fickle." The Limerick Editor is no relation to Frederick Wallace and does not even know her. Melva, Americus. — So you think I deserve the salary that Charlie Chaplin gets. Certainly I do, but I don't get it. The difference is the mere trifle of $9,992 a week. Owen Moore is with Triangle. Irving Cummings with Famous players now. Abe, 99. — Justina Huff with Imp and Edgar Jones with Metro. Here they are: Fazenda with short "a," accent on the zen. Valli Valli with short "a", accent on the val. (De) Garde pronounced as guard. Eytinge as eye-tinge. Ethel Axita. — Maurice Costello is now playing with the Consolidated Film Company — whatever that may be. Edwin August is with World. You will see Anita Stewart soon, and you will also see her on our August Classic — the finest cover that has yet been done. 147
