I i I WHY DO YOU MAKE S g PRESENTS AT XMAS? § Is it not because you want to gP make someone happy? Is it not be vS cause you want that someone to know that you have been thinking syd kindly of him? And, does it not VV make you too happy for words, when your selection turns out to be ** JS the most appreciated of all the gifts 5b received by those you have remem ^ bered?

Norma Talmadce Fan. — A votre saute. Tom Mix is with Fox, you know. Yes, Fox is producing “Gentle Julia.” That sure was a misfortune, but then she never comes singly, she is always married. Bronze. — No, child, I have no dog now. I used to have a shepherd, but my hallrooin is so small, and I cant afford a larger one. Marie Prevost is playing in “The Beautiful and Damned,” and she weighs 123 pounds. So you think Wanda Hawley ought to reduce. Eat and grow thin, Wanda, and no drinking between meals. Mary MacLaren is playing with Elsie Ferguson in “Outcast.” Write me again. Helen of Troy. — Fur coats already. Oh I have my furs, they are always handy. You bet, it’s still buttermilk for me, winter and summer. At this writing Norma Talmadge is in Europe. Betty Compson has bobbed her hair and she is playing, in “The White Flower.” Bebe’s Admirer. — The only player who tells the truth about his salary is the one who never mentions it. A great many of the boasted salaries are paid in stage money. I get $10.50 per week, and not stage money either. Both Bebe Daniels and Lila Lee are with Famous Players. Marie Prevost is with Warner Brothers, 1600 Broadway, New York City. You’re very welcome. Sugar. — Look up and cheer up. The worst men often give the best advice. So you dont think I look like the picture above. You think I am about 30 with brown eyes and a bit deceitful. Thanks, sweet of you. Irene Castle’s name was Irene Foote before she married. She is now Irene Tremain. Paul. — Right again. Of course I can ride a bicycle. The first bicycle was introduced in England from France about the year 1815, and was known as the hobby-horse. Shirley Mason is playing in “Shirley of the Circus.” The Bishop. — You say you want more of Bett>' Compson and less of von Stroheim. Wow ! Here’s a chance for someone to row. Priscilla Dean’s “Lady Raffles” has been changed to “White Tiger.” Rod LaRocque is playing in “Coronation” opposite Mae Murray. Kosloff Forever. — Ah, but the grandest things in the universe are old — the mountains, the stars, the rivers, the sphinx, eternity. Dont you like me a little? George Hackathorne right now is playing in von Stroheim’s “Merry-go-round.” I’m always here. Peaches. — Yes, peaches, and there are still a few in the business who should be peddling tomatoes. William Russell is with Fox, and Harold Lloyd is with the Hal Roach Co. Well I always take my time about things. To be always in a hurry is a sign of a disorganized mind. Little Miss Smiles. — The reason why borrowed books are so seldom returned to their owners is that it is much easier to retain the books than what is in them. I can easily see that Valentino is no friend of yours. Yes, Bert Lytell is married to Evelyn Vaughn. Just Curious. — Beware! You know what Franklin said: “He that takes a wife takes care.” You sure do boost John Bowers" and Constance Talmadge. Yes, it takes two to make a bargain, but usually only one gets it. Rodolph Admirer. — It’s no disgrace to be a clown, if a good one. Robert Warwick is on the stage. Valentino weighs 154 pounds. I dont know much about banks, as I never frequent them, but the first bank in Europe was the Bank of Venice, 1171. The Bank of England was established in 1694. The bank of North America, 1781. Miss Detroit. — You only want to know the names of the players who have never been married. Let me see — oh, I wouldn’t want to risk it. All photoplayers are musicians ; the instrument they play is the human heart. Right now Doris Kenyon is singing for phonograph records. Justice S. — That was a brilliant letter of yours. Wish I could publish it, but that would never do, you know. Veronica. — Better join one of the correspondence clubs. Send a stamped addressed envelope for a list of them. The Ruth Roland Club is surely coming along fast. Their last club magazine, “Fanland,” is very interesting and shows a remarkable progress. P. Eugeno. — You can purchase the last six Classics from our circulation department. The following stories have been Actionized in the last six issues. “The Masquerader,” “The Glory of Clementina,” and “The Man From Downing Street,” in June ; “The Dictator,” “Hungry Hearts,” and “Reported Missing,” in July; “Smudge,” “Her Gilded Cage,” and “My Wild Irish Rose,” in August; "Forget Me Not,” “Nice People,” and “Divorce Coupons,” in September ; Omar the Tentmaker,” and “Little Wildcat,” in October ; and “Suzanna” and “Broadway Rose,” in November. Amelita. — I guess age is the only secret that a woman can keep. Billie Dove in "Cold Courage.” Yes, Mae Murray and her husband, Robert Leonard, were in California, and they intend to travel for some time. Rosa Rosanova was the mother in “Blood and Sand.” She sure was splendid. So you like Costume plays. Very few people do. Wistful Rose. — Too bad! Which are you? A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterwards. Juanita Hansen is married to Harrison Post. Eva Novak was Nellie Gray in “The Testing Block.” No, we never ran that story. Better Jo. — Obesity is simply nature's unnatural padding, and while some look on it as comedy, many who are thus afflicted look on it as tragedy. Young hearts dont break — they bend. Cheer up, it will all come out right in the end. Irving Cummings is directing now. He is directing Milton Sills and Alice Lake in “Chicago Sal.” Richard Headrick is also in the cast. Camillia. — You say you see Valentino’s name everywhere, and some Sunday you wouldn’t be surprised if you saw it in a hymn book. Give him time, Camillia. Kathryn Williams is playing in Bebe Daniel’s next picture. Patsy. — But a little prosperity kills many good souls. You refer to Joseph Schildkraut. ( Continued on page 72) ( Seventy J
