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 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 encyclopedia in existence. Marietta. — I liked your letter very much, but you dont ask any questions. Send a stamped, addressed envelope, and I will send you a list of the film manufacturers. You want a cover picture of May Allison? Evelyn T. — Yes, I have read the novel, “Wild Olive,” but I haven’t seen Myrtle Stedman in it. Yes; Jackie Saunders and Roland Bottomley in “Grip of Evil.” It is awfully sad, hut paper is getting so scarce and dear that shoemakers will soon not be able to use it in our soles. Estelle, Altoona. — Yes, it is true that Max Linder is now in America and is going to play for Essanay. Jewel Carmen has left Triangle and is playing for Fox. Charles F. H. — Was glad to hear from you again. Yes, my beard keeps me warm in the winter, hut I wish I had it on the top of my head. Edna Mayo Admirer. — Your votes were taken care of. You ask no questions, therefore I can tell you no lies. Vida E., Sugar Land. — Come, now; you dont mean that you want a description of Charlie Chaplin. Ask any two-year-old that. Arthur Ashley was John in “The Revolt.” Ivy Close was Nell In “That Pesky Parrot,” but she is in England just now. Surely, I am always glad to hear from you. Mary Jane A. — You can get in touch with those players in care of the studio. Alfred Vosburgh has joined Thomas Ince. Melva. — See above. I have a letter here awaiting you. So you would mourn your loss if you were a player and had to ruin some of the wonderful creations. Yes, it does seem a pity. Pickles. — I dont know how to advise you. I think you ought to take your father’s advice. You were fortunate to have the position offered to you. Julius T. — Frederick Warde to appear in “The Vicar of Wakefield,” also “King Lear.” Irene. — The sequel to “The Diamond from the Sky” has been released. There will be four chapters, and the announcement of winners will appear in the film. Betty C. Alison. — No, we have never printed the story “Mice and Men” (Famous Players), nor “Madam Butterfly.” You have the wrong title on your third. House Peters and Beatriz Michelena in “Mignon.” There are several “Impostors” — which do you mean? Norma Talmadge in “Battle Cry of Peace” opposite Charles Richman. Thomas Holding opposite Pauline Frederick in “The Eternal City.” Harold Lockwood in “Wildflower.” Charles Waldron in “Mice and Men.” See that you keep your promise. Jack J. P. — I dont understand this great demand for those new dimes — you cant buy anything for a dime nowadays, anyway. You refer to Jewel Carmen. You’re right about the election. Marion T. B. — That’s right, Louise Lovely’s name is, or was, Louise Carbasse. Since with Universal it has been changed. Wilbanks E., Tulsa. — Charlie Chaplin’s latest is “The Rink.” Billie Garwood will play opposite Enid Bennett for Triangle. The threatened railroad strike that the President drove away seems to have a return ticket. Catherine of Aragon. — I am sorry you dont care for Mary Miles Minter. You are right about Theda Bara. Yes, indeed, let me hear from you again. Here are twenty Pickford photoplays which I suggest for rebookings: “In the Bishop’s Carriage”; “Caprice”; “Hearts Adrift”; “A Good Little Devil”; “Tess of the Storm Country”; “The Eagle’s Mate”; “Such a Little Queen”; “Behind the Scenes”; “Cinderella”; “Mistress Nell”; “Fanchon the Cricket”; “Dawn of a Tomorrow”; “Little Pal”; ‘“Rags”; “Esmeralda”; “The Girl of Yesterday”; “Madam Butterfly”; “The Foundling”; “Poor Little Peppina”; “The Eternal Grind;” “Hulda from Holland.” Poor Pet. — William Farnum and Bessie Eyton in “The Spoilers.” Potatoes are selling for less in Berlin than they are in Brooklyn. Chief, Miami. — We very often have photos of Olga Petrova. Just write to Metro. With the way paved by the “divine Sarah,” James K. Hackett, Mrs. Fiske, Henry E. Dixey, Lily Langtry, James O’Neill, Cecilia Loftus, John Barrymore and Cyril Scott followed in rapid succession, giving the movement of a great impetus against which those few who have already been named have stood firm. Frank McIntyre will play for Famous Players. Know-It-All in Movieland.— Thanks, but you must always sign your name. Yes, Bryan is trying to lead the Democratic donkey to water and make him drink. I doubt if he will succeed in his dry-cleaning process. Billie F. — Thanks, Billie. And you want to come to New York. That’s every country girl’s ambition. “Achievement is a comparatively small matter, but the spirit in which things are done is the essence of the whole thing,” and I agree. Margaret McE. — We have forwarded your letter to Harry Myers. Look up his letter in the February Magazine in answer to the number of letters he has received since our publishing his article on “How to Get In.” Bertha E. W. — Frank Elliott was with Lasky last. So you like George Walsh and want us to have an interview with him. I am intoxicated with your delicious flattery. Like wine, it goes to my head. Pittsburgh Blues. — Come, cheer up. Life’s too short. Yes, we had an interview with Douglas Fairbanks in the December 1916 issue, and a picture of him in the June 1916 issue. Yes, Page Peters is dead. Long “e” in Theda. That mustache of Stuart Holmes is the real thing — no make-believe. I know, too. Sorry, but I cant obtain that information. Harriet. — Bought popularity does not last long. June Caprice is a very young, new and equally pretty favorite. She was born in Boston, and is only 17 years old. The ability and beauty of Miss Caprice promise for her, I think, a dazzling future. Honeypie. — No card for that old Biograph. Pretty old, you know. Dustin Farnum is with Imp. Pauline Starke was Columbine in “Puppets.” Frank Losee was Uncle Josh in “Old Homestead.” Denman Moley was Happy Jack. And you want a picture of True Boardman to appear soon. M. E. B. — So you want Harold Lockwood to marry May Allison. I’ll see if I cant oblige you. Wallace Reid is still with Lasky. Yes, Marguerite Clayton in “The Prince of Graustark.” Bobbie Vernon with Powers. ( Sixty)
