▼1 164 ANSWER DEPARTMENT Harry G., Port Henry. — Lottie Pickford is Mrs. Rupp. She is with American. So you saw Yitagraph taking all the snow scenes for "Fathers of Men." No, thank the Lord, I haven't had infantile paralysis yet. Miss A. H., New Bedford. — Yes, Cleo Ridgely took the transcontinental ride for us on horseback. You can get back numbers about the trip from our sales manager, and you will find fresh material in the August Classic. The Famous Players and Lasky are now the Famous Players-Lasky Corp. Mystic Muriel. — I cant keep track of all the different M. P. magazines, for they come and go like mushrooms. Louise Fazenda is with Kalem. Thanks for all you say — it is very beneficial. If we are wise, we are always glad to be told our faults. Zena Keefe is now with Fox. M. Mc. — You say you dont know whether you have the spring fever, or the hay fever, or the brain fever, but I am willing to bet on the last. Your nut story would make a good scenario. Herman. — I am not sure, but I think Marguerite Clark was about twenty-eight when she played "Wildflower," altho she looked to be about twelve. She was not much larger than the doll that Harold Lockwood gave her and she looked as much like a doll as the doll did. That was probably her most popular play, and she was certainly very charming and cute in it. Olive B. Athel. — No, they are no relation. Marian Cooper is now Mrs. R. Walsh. Charlotte Walker is going to play for Edison in Rex Beach's "Partners." Blanche Sweet Admirer. — Florence Dagmar was Millicent in "The Clown." I believe you show very good taste. Your letter was a model of good judgment and good English and good penmanship. F. X. B. Admirer. — I favor more of the single and two-reel films. I think that features are being overdone. We carried an interview with Beverly Bayne in Sept. 1915 Magazine and Francis Bushman Feb., 1915. Dorothy H. S., Kingston. — Thanks for sending me that correct dress-folder. I shall take heed. Jean Shelby was Alice in "The Shadow of a Doubt." Marion Dentler was the girl in "The Clarion." Hal Clarendon and Lionel Adams in "One of Our Girls." There were two "Roughnecks." Alton Goodrich was the girl opposite Harry Beaumont. Pauline Nell was Clementina in "The Man from Mexico." Harold Lockwood was Daunton. Morosco and Pallas not the same, but address is. Your letter long but interesting. Olga. 17. — You say you would like to see Mary Pickford in "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm," and wind up with, "Yours until the Mexicans get us." It looks now as if our boys at the front will never smell gunpowder, thanks to the statesman-like management of our President. Ida M. S. — I dont know where Creighton Hale's father is, but Creighton is now with Powell. I think he is very interesting, but I've never seen any Edwin Booth qualities. Florence LaBadie is still with Thanhouser. Loel Stewart was the child in "His Brother's Wife." James Young is back with Lasky. M. R., Portland. — You're at bat, watch your step and keep your eye on the ball. So you think that Earle Williams' protruding forehead and deep-set eyes make him look too serious for light parts. Thomas J. Carrigan is still with Metro. Thanks. A Ranch Girl. — Yes, I believe there was a prize awarded for the most artistically decorated booth at the Board of Trade Exposition at the Grand Central Palace, N. Y. The Vitagraph Co. won it, and along with the prize was a statement that their players who appeared in person were the least "theatrical-looking" of those present. I dont know whether this is a forehand or backhand compliment. Helen Holmes, J. P. McGowan and Paul C. Hurst in "Whispering Smith." Loel and Eldean Stewart in "East Lynne." A vampire is one who preys upon others, and "vamp" is incorrect because it is a slang abbreviation. Never heard of a school for parrots. Dont think you did either. It's hard enough to teach human's to speak correctly. Little Choctaw. — I really dont know why Roscoe and Mabel separated. Roscoe is now the champion heavyweight on the screen. And you think that King Baggot is getting fat. Alas, alack! He must read "Eat to Grow Thin." Bruce McRae was Dr. Allison in "Green Swamp." Lola May was Betty in "The Beggar of Cawnpore." Louise Brownell was the mother in "Not My Sister." You will see both of those players soon. I enjoyed yours muchly. Elizabeth H. — Yes, come right along. Charles Richman likes the pictures so well he doesn't care if he never returns to the spoken drama — steady job, better pay. Address Grace Cunard, Universal City, Cal. You say you cant express your feelings? Then send them by freight. L. R. D. Hotex.— The National Board of Censors is now called "The National Board of Review." Its membership is drawn from representative social organizations, and last year it reviewed 10,500 reels or 10,500,000 feet of film. You refer to "Romeo and Juliet." Address William Hart, Triangle Company, Los Angeles, Cal. Dorothy B., Leslie. — You know that the philosophers say that not pleasure, but freedom from pain is what the wise man aims at. No, they are not. Elsie. — George Anderson was John in "Little Pal." You must have the wrong title on that Kleine. Fuller Mellish was David in "The Dancing Girl" (Famous Players). No. Fuller did not do the dancing. Lasky released that Max Figman. Dorothy Green was Mazora in "The Wonderful Adventure" (Fox). Edward Brennan was Philip in "The Woman Pays" (Metro). Elliot Dexter was David and Frank Losee was Sir Brice in "The Masqueraders" (Famous Players). Very little or no make-up is used by the actors and actresses in French pictures.
