Flora McD. — Yes, the letter was sent to Anita Stewart. Dorothy Gish was the girl in "Silent Sandy" (Reliance). Your letter was very fine. Many thanks. Robert L. M. — Yes ; Gerda Holmes is rapidly gaining popularity for Essanay, and, as you say, Beverly Bayne and Ruth Stonehouse had better watch out. Miss Ural C. — Your letter was sent to Francis Bushman. You know you can get a list of addresses of the studios by sending a stamped, addressed envelope to us. Mildred W. — We shall print a picture of Webster Campbell soon. Yes, my child, they are real animals in the Selig Company. "My Friend from India" was produced by Edison, with Walter E. Perkins in the title role. Harry G. — Many thanks for the aluminum pens. Donald Hall was the Englishman in "Mr. Barnes of New York." Sorry I cannot tell you the name of the artist opposite Lillian Walker in the unnamed two-reel feature. I read all the letters.

Stanley B. — You forget that the farther away the machine is from the screen, the more light is required and the larger will be the picture, other things being equal. With a given distance between lens and screen, there is practically but one size of picture obtainable. Olga, 17. — You say the September was the best ever. October is still better, isn't it? Your letter made me jolly all over. Gertie. — You, too, are raving about Thomas Chatterton and think he was splendid in "The Voice at the Telephone" (Broncho). Herschal Mayall was the villain. Anna Little was the operator, and Harrington Raynolds was John. Why didn't you ask for the cast? Waegwoltic, Halifax. — So you would set all the villains of the screen on our artist who drew that picture of me, and you insist on having my real picture published. No, dear Waggy, but I'll publish your pome, and here it is : "Answer Man, now tell me true, who dared to so malign you? That picture of a man so wise truly caused me some surprise. Big head, they say, little wit; little head has not a bit. Therefore, I do not think it fair the way they have you pictured there, with head so large and body small, we know it isn't you at all." Wee Willie. — Yes, stop in any time; I promise not to chew you up. Hope you enjoyed your trip.
