Olga, 17. — With springs in her slippers and bells on her toes — that's Mabel Normand. So you want to know full particulars about young Crane Wilbur. AVrite to Thomas Chatterton for particulars.

TRYING TO BLOW OUT THE LIGHT
John V. L., Evanston.— I agree with you that pictures are twice as interesting when we know who the players are, and it is so with a ball game or a stage play.
Anna D. — I appreciate your letter. The mere fact that that player owes his tailor $65 does not prove that he gets a small salary. The larger the salary the larger the bills, and they dont always pay them. W. Walker, Sydney, Aus. — You are about 8,000 miles under my feet, so I cannot trod on you. You can get photos of the players from their companies. Ask your theater. Look me straight in the eye and tell me if those players are best.

H. R. S. — I do not know enough about the technical end of it to tell you which is the better — the Simplex or the Powers machine — but most of my friends seem to prefer the latter. The child was Helen Badgely.
Anna R. — Neva Gerber was the girl in "The Political Boss" (Kalem). Carlyle Blackwell intends to produce only one play a month, which is to be released thru the Alco Film Company.
