MER Marietta. — Bankruptcy is a wet sponge that erases from the debtor’s slate all his moral and legal obligations. “Camille” was the last Fox picture produced with Theda Bara. Socrates. — So you cant wait until you see Warren Kerrigan in pictures. I guess there will be a lot who are anxious to see him. Not in these days is the library mightier than the battleship. Clio. — The graham cracker was invented by Colonel Jasper P. Graham at his birthplace, Speonk, N. Y., on August 19, 1812. Colonel Graham stumbled upon the compound quite by accident, as the pan in which the illustrious dietician kept his wheat flour had accidentally been half filled with earth. Thanks for welcoming me into the Scroll Club. Gladys M. — I dont know why you dont see more of George Fischer. He played in “Annie for Spite;” also “Environment.” Of course there is a Robert Mantell. No, I dont know of any companies who are in need of scenarios. Creighton Hale is back with Pathe. You should see “The Thirteenth Chair” on the stage if you want to see a grewsome thing. 23-13. — David Wall was Willard and Florence Malone was Princess Nayla in “Yellow Menace.” Jackie Saunders Admirer. — I am informed that Antonio Moreno has left Vitagraph. Yes, we had a fine picture of Alma Hanlon in the December 1915 Classic. Of course Harry Fox is a regular player. You say my picture up above here looks as tho I was attending a requiem mass. Say not so. John N. D. — That’s very true, but Moving Pictures are far from being speechless when the director gets busy with his megaphone. Guess you were right. The Dutch village in “Hulda from Holland” was taken in Hempstead, L. I. Inez, Newfoundland. — Yes, Bob Vignola is still directing for Famous Players. You say that Owen Moore is Catholic, Mary Pickford is Catholic, Joe Moore is Catholic, and now Grace Cunard, or Mrs. Joe Moore, must be Catholic. Why extend your imagination? Why bring religion into my sacredly neutral columns? William L. McC. — Lottie Pickford isn’t playing now. Yes, Ruth Stonehouse is still with Universal, playing in “A Lovable Thief.” Theda Bara is working on “Cleopatra.” Not May Allison, but Carmel Myers, now playing opposite Harold Lockwood. I hear there was a quarrel. As soon as Warren Kerrigan returns to the Coast he will release his pictures thru Paralta. Olga, 17.— So you are knitting for the soldiers. I suggest that you all make pajamas for the Germans, because they are about to retire. William Farnum was William Armstrong in “American Methods.” Naomi Childers was Phyllis and Leslie Austen was Jerry in “The Auction of Virtue.” Nora. — Edward Hearn opposite Ella Hall in “Her Soul’s Inspiration.” No, no, no, Ruth Roland is not married to any one. Neither is it true that the Ford cars are manufactured in a strip and cut off individually, but that is the way the jokesmiths put it. “Max in a Taxi” is quite funny, but not so good as Linder’s last. Charming indeed. C. S. W., Toronto. — Address Art Dramas at 116 W. 39th St., N. Y. City. I agree with you. I do not know what the correct feminine of cowboy is, but some say “cow-girl.” My own idea is that they should be called milkmaids. Helen, Milwaukee. — Victor Sutherland was Page Warren in “The Bar Sinister.” Frances Nelson as Louise and Harry Northrup was Mortimer in “The Beautiful Lie.” So you want a picture of Milton Sills in the Gallery. It shall be did. Clio. — Tax bachelors? Certainly; aren’t they taxing all luxuries? Haven’t seen a copy of that Clarion yet. Dimples. — Well, Uncle Sam expects every acre to do its duty. You can reach Mrs. Vernon Castle, care of Pathd, Jersey City, and Olga Petrova, care of Lasky, 485 Fifth Avenue, N. Y. City. It would be some job to give you the names of all the players alphabetically, beginning with A. Sorry. Catherine C.— Surely; Mabel Normand, Hollywood, Cal., will reach her. Edward Arnold was Grant, Ernest Maupain was the Baron and Hazel Daly was Frances in “Be My Best Man." The best man is often the one who isn’t getting married. John I. D. — We have no record of the player who took the part of the Christ in “Intolerance.” You say you think it was Howard Gage. I’m sorry we cant help you. Arthur Shirley in “Bethesda, the Wildcat.” Irene Hunt and Ernest Shields in “The Birth of Patriotism.” Minka K. — Kempton Greene was with Lubin last, and I haven’t heard of him since. Norma Phillips is with World. I am no doctor, but if you have water on the knee why dont you wear your pumps? Sylvia L. — A good game for you to play would be to have each one name their superstitions. I am sure it would be interesting as well as amusing. I dont mind answering such questions. One girl asked me to give her a list of the latest New York songs, but that’s somewhat out of my line since I neither attend cabarets nor sing. Pauline Frederick Fan. — Your letter was indeed interesting. You dont like June Caprice’s mouth. Why, I thought it a very nice little, cunning little, polity little mouth. Then you say you saw Mae Marsh wear the same dress that Dorothy Gish wore in “Atta Boy’s Last Race,” and that Blanche Sweet and Tsuru Aoki wore the same clothes. Of course we like to get your criticism, hut what if they did? They were probably stock studio clothes. Mary Miles Minter Fan. — No, I dont know any chorus girls, but, with De Wolf Hopper,, I can say “Here’s to the ladies — God dress ’em!” Josephine Stevens and Roscoe Arbuckle in “The Butcher Boy.” You were right in your assumption. George C. — No young man ever earned his feed with a billiard cue, and lots of them have rendered themselves incompetent ever to do so. Jessie Arnold was the mother in “Tennessee’s Pardner.” Thomas Holding in “The Eternal Sin.” Viola Barry was the girl in “Sea Wolf.” Emanuel Turner in “The Redemption of Dave Darcey.” Erna V. — Miriam Cooper was the sister in “The Birth of a Nation.” Lillian Burns was Mary in “The Goddess.” I cant tell that play from your description, and besides, things aren’t like years ago, when we could read almost all the synopses that were produced and know everything that was going on. Times have changed. Warwick and Walthall Admirer. — You show good judgment. By the way, the high cost of paper hasn't affected my readers, I’m glad to see. Thanks for the fee. No such person as the police spy in “Badge of Shame.” Very sorry. Richard Tabor was with Essanay, but I doubt whether he is playing now. Florence Malone was the child in “The Master Hand.” You ask how long I have been over from the Emerald Isle. I’ve never been over. Octavia P. R. — Stuart Holmes was Teddy and Mary Martin was Rose in “The Derelict.” Douglas Gerrard was Paul and George Gebhardt was Cou Cou in “Eternal Love.” You want to hear more of Norma Talmadge. Josie Collins is with Pathe. “Dimples” was released in February, 1916. Gordon Griffith was Blake in “Gloriana.” Of course you hear of Bryant Washburn. He is an Essanay star. K. C., Woodhaven. — And who told you so much? The child in “Little Shoes” is not cast. You say the increased price of the Classic isn’t going to faze you any. That is right, for it’s well worth a quarter, even. Alice M. — Arline Pretty played in one picture with Douglas Fairbanks for Artcraft. She has blue eyes and light hair. Kittens Reichert was Alice in “Her Secret.” Arthur Housman and Jean Sothern in “A Mother’s Ordeal” (Art Dramas). ( Seventy )
