9 3 3 5 8 $ |r 84 — 5 ^AN This department is for information of general interest, but questions pertaining to matrimony, relation ship, photoplay writing, and techni cal 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 “Answer Department,” writing only on one side of the paper, and using separate sheets for matters intended for other departments of this maga Myrtle T. D. — Lulu Glaser was Lulu, and Tom Richards was Tom in “Love’s Pilgrimage.” So you think that Ralph Ince shot his bolt when he did “A Million Bid.” While that was one of his first great features, he has done other good ones since, and I expect there are many more to come. Mary B., Chicago.— Franklin Ritchie is with Ince now; he left Biograph. Ormi Hawley, Earle Metcalfe, Octavia Handworth and Kempton Greene in “Race Suicide.” Yes, it was done by Lubin, but it is selling as a State Right. Tiny Tiny. — You write so well that you should go into the business of writing patent medicine advertisements. All you have to do is, first, convince the reader that he has the disease, and second, that it is curable. That was Eleanor Woodruff. Doe-Doe. — So you liked Marguerite Clark very much in “Mice and Men.” You thought the uncle would get her. A good many would like to have seen that, no doubt, but it came out very nicely. Will tell you later. Dorothy P., Bronx. — Fania Marinoff in “Whirlpool of Life.” She was very emotional in that dismal play, and Holbrook Blinn was also splendid. I am truly sorry for you. Love is like the measles; we can have it bad but once, and the HAN zine. 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. g 8 V 9 3 9 y y y later in life that we have it the harder it goes with us. No relationship questions. Julius T., Buffalo. — Harry Carey’s latest was “Graft.” He is still at it, and has been ever since he left Biograph, where he was the champion burglar. Hobart Henley and Jane Novak also in “Graft” (Universal). Leab Baird has been playing opposite Maurice Costello. You evidently did not see “Tried for His Own Murder.” Madame Jeneau. — This is much too much. You want a list of all the companies, their business managers and the leading directors. You will excuse me, please, it’s time to lunch. Theodore L. — Ethel Barrymore is with Metro. Vivian Rich is still with American. I dont agree with you. Come, cheer up, Theodore, and get your share of honey; the world is full of it. Bees gather honey even from the bitterest flowers. Caroll Halloway is with American. Yes, she was with Lubin once. Jonsie T. — I haven’t heard whether Maurice Costello has signed up with any company or not. Yes, the Fox photography is usually very good; but, in fact, hasn’t the photography in all pictures advanced in the past year or so? Let us hope that we shall see even more progress in 1916, and not progress in photography only. Dutch W. — Of course Harry Northrup can dance. You ought to see him! Dont know where the Ne Moyer sisters are at present. Mrs. Costello isn’t playing. Joy 450. — Sorry, but we haven’t either of your questions. Lewis J. — Lots of car scenes are made in the studios. Daddydear’s Girl. — So you want Helen L. R.; Rhodisha; The Pest; Anthony; Flower Evelyn G., and a few others to come back. It seems they have all gone back on me. Perhaps they read only the Motion Picture Magazine. Franklyn T. B. — Ah, ha, I have you, Sir Franklyn. I have seen that verse before. But since others may not have, I repeat it here: Every lady in this land Hath twenty nails upon each hand Five and twenty on hands and feet And this is true without deceit. Which is perfectly true — if properly punctuated. Edna Grace. — Grace Cunard and Jack Holt in “Her Better Self” (Universal). Miss Cunard also directed. THIS IS CONCEDEDLY THE MOST CAPABLE POLICE FORCE IN THE WORLD THAT IS, THE MOST CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LAUGHTER. THEY ARE KNOWN AS “THE KEYSTONE COPS” (Fifty-nine)
