MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE
Baby Gaby. — I believe you were mistaken about that player. Marin Sais was the daughter in "The Barrier of Ignorance" (Kalem). Mildred Gregory was Helen in "The Lure of the Pit" (Lubin).
T. W. Gilmer, Treasury Dept., Wash. — So you think Mr. Brewster's articles on the emotions a valuable contribution to the literature of the drama. Your verse on Pie-faced Comedy is so good that I must publish it.
The Keystone police are tumbling out
fast, While laughing millions watch them go
past ; Chaplin and Sennet are in a mad race For beautiful Mabel, with pie on her face.
Her sparkling black eyes bewitch all the
boys, Her willowy form imbues them with joys ; She swims and flirts with wonderful
grace, Mischievous Mabel, with pie on her face.
The fun-loving people enjoy those tricks: The biting of legs and throwing of bricks, The spreading of pie upon a sweet face, And gluteris maximus in the wrong place.

THE key to her heart

Vyrgynya. — Your essay on "The Schoolteacher" is fine. Sorry I haven't room to print it. Your "slate" was also clever. Thanks for the "undying love." William Worthington was John in "Prowlers of the Wild" (Bison). Your letter is as bright as a December morn in June.
Auburn, 17. — I am afraid there is no hope. Write to the companies direct.
Dottle, Melbourne. — It is very necessary that I have the name of the company when answering questions. Address Mary Fuller in care of Universal.
L. J. F., Troy. — Joseph Allen was the bandmaster, Horace Newman was Hod Mullins, and Augustus Phillips was the officer in "A Drama in Hayville" (Edison). Charles Kent was the father, Dorothy Kelly the daughter, and James Morrison the son in "The First Endorsement" (Vitagraph). Eleanor Kahn was the little girl in "The Other Girl" (Essanay). Julian Reed and Cliff Hechinger in "Cheese Mining" (Edison).
The Owl. — Guy Oliver was Carl, and Eugenie Besserer was Nell in "When the Night Call Came" (Selig). Pauline Bush in "The Hope of Blind Alley." Please dont accuse me of writing "Junius." Not guilty. I have much to ansicer for, but not that.
Lucille, Brooklyn. — Every well-regulated company should provide themselves with a good burglar alarm to prevent the stealing of their star players. Francis Carlyle was Henry in "Wasted Years" (Pathe).
Eddie, of Los Angeles. — You have got me, and I am yours. Old age has its privileges, one of which is to find fault with everything and everybody.
Fritz, N. Z. — Many thanks for the postal snaps. I was glad to get them. The average weight of an adult is 150 lbs. 6 oz., and his brain is 3% lbs.— of a woman, 2 lbs. 11 oz.
M. A. D. — Quite right; love on the screen is only too often a very tame affair between two young, unsophisticated persons. Let us have more real, deep love-matches between mature persons. With young boys and girls, love is usually only a passing fancy. They catch the disease quickly, but are quickly cured. Young hearts dont break. They bend.
