De Miracle requires no mixing. It is ready for instant use. Simply wet the hair and it is gone. Only genuine De Miracle has a money back guarantee in each package. FREE BOOK with testimonials of eminent physicians, surgeons, dermatologists and medical journals, explains how De Miracle devitalizes hair, mailed in plain sealed envelope on request.

Oi'AL B.— A little Into, but better late than never. Those striking printers certainly did play havoc with our schedule. Never mind, we expect to be out on time with the next issue. Be patient. I haven't the boy's name in "The Delicious Little Devil." Talmadge Fan. — My thanks, you flatter me. My wit might be more appealing but that Shakespeare, Butler and Bacon have rendered it extremely difficult for all who come after ihem to be sublime, witty or profound. However, I'll do my best. Write to our Sales Department, and not to me, please, about all matters concerning back copies, subscriptions, etc. From Mt. Pleasant. — Oh, how do you do! Yes. I have just had a birthday, but I hope to advise you during 1920 — never too old to be an Answer Man. I rarch' look back, but always keep looking ahead. Some people spend their lives in reasoning on the past, in complaining of the present, and in trembling for the future. Ruth Roland in "Hands Up," and Jean Sothern in "The Mysteries of Mira." C. R.\Y. — Fiat lii.v means "Let there be light." Mae Murray is playing in "The ABC of Love," released thru Pathe. Corinne Griffith is playing in "The Tower of Jewels." Why, I very seldom get down to Vitagraph. Ah ha, so you like little Marguerite de la Motte, and think she is a "pippin." I think so too, but I confess I dont know what a pippin is. So you like the Magazine better than the Classic. Dixie Dee. — Sure I have w-hiskers like a Turkish pasha, but I never wear a muffler in the winter time, nor do I carry a muff, nor do I ice-skate to and from the office. Dorothy Gish in "Betty of Greystone" opposite Owen Moore. You say you know something about the markets and the way of the dollar, but all 1 know about women is that they are good to have. And you come along and say that Wallace Reid is the handsomest man in the world. Have you seen them all? Come in again and see me. Coming Author. — Well now, come right along. There's room for one more. You say A'ou have written a scenario and ask how much it is worth. That's not the question. It is, How much will it bring? Take what you can pet and be thankful. Write for a list of the manufacturers. MiMi B. — Well, there is one thing that people bring to the table, and cut, but do not eat, and which should never be brought to the table at all — a pack of cards. Card-playing is a terrible waste of time and brings no benefits. Jifarjorie Wilson plaved in "Mountain Dew" and William Elliott' in "When We Were Twentv-one." And now Lillian Walker will play in "$1,000,000 Reward," a serial, produced by Grossman Pictures, Inc., Ithaca. Minnie F. L., Auburn. — Oh, you have Auburn hair? I am always glad to hear froin architects. I am one myself. I am the architect of my own fortune, but I confess that I have made a bad job of it so far. But what can one do on nine dollars a week? I went into this business nine years ago without a cent in my pocket and I've got it yet. Oh, how could I forget you, Minnie I G. E. W. — Why, turning a woman's head is as easy as missing a train if you know how. Is Conway Tearle married? Witness prefers not to answer on the ground that he is not sure about it this minute. Mississippi was the first, Virginia second, Kentucky third. South Carolina fourth to ratify the amendment for prohibition. Even Kentucky,'! Peggy Adair. — I thank you. fair lady, for the cigars, but with all due respect and gratitude. I must inform you thai I knew they were purchased by a woman. You say they had Connecticut w^rappers? I believe you; they tasted like some kind o£ rags. An artist tells me that old wrappers make excellent rags. No, Mrs. Adolph Zukor is not a player. She's a producer's wife. Write to me again. M. T. — Of course I eat fish. If I have plenty of mackerel for breakfast, I can usually make the other two meals out of cold water. Virginia Brown, one of the winners in the Fame and Fortune Contest, has changed her name to Virginia Faire, and has signed a five vears' contract with Universal, involving some $85,000. Pretty good start, eh? Antonio Moreno in his new serial, "Smashing Barriers." Lily B. — My dear, no human creature gives his admiration for nothing; either the eye must be charmed, or the understanding gratified. And that is the way of the world. Yes, Elmo Lincoln in "Tarzan." Why, haven't you heard of a varnish tree? There is the black varnish tree and the Japan varnish tree. Miss Manda — You question my statement that I am a self-made man, because if 1 had made myself I would have put more hair on my head. Well, I put it on my chin instead. Be off with you. Alice Brady's latest picture is "The Fear Market," which was produced a couple of years ago on Broadway. Helen. — Yes. Alice Joyce was in New Orleans taking "The Sporting Duchess." Ben Wilson and Neva Gerber are producing a second serial, "The Screaming Shadow." Somebody must like these serials. Of course I lie down to sleep, do you think I am a horse? Speaking of horses, they show their angsr by retracting their ears. Did you notice mine retract? George L. — If j'ou want your letters answered in the Classic, please be sure to put "Classic" at the top of vour letter. Dolores Cassinelli is playing in "The Web of Deceit." Herbert Rawlinson is starring in 8 two-reel detective features. J. Warren Kerrigan in "The Lord Loves the Irish," and I guess He does, or He wouldn't have made so many of them. So you want to see Anna Little on the cover and an interview with Clara Williams. Marjorie M. — Chickens, no, no, the incubator w^as known to China and Eg>-pt first—in the very early period. The smallest British possession is Gibraltar, and the largest _ is Canada. You know there must be a beginning. Dont know why you are afraid to write to me. I wont hurt you. The more the merrier. Yes, Frankie Lee is a bright child. Billie Burke did not play in her stage play on Christmas Day. She spent the day with Patricia. (Continited on page 96) (Eighty-eight)
