MOTION PICTURE MAGAZINE
Mary Pickford Admirer. — Yes; Mary Pickford is very small. She is smaller than she appears on the screen. Silk, I believe, was first used by the Chinese, about 2650 B. C.
Beatrice P., Montreal. — Broadway is the name of the principal business street in New York City. There is also a Broadway Theater.
Anthony. — Yours was as interesting as ever. John Ince was the brother in "The Twin Brothers Van Zandt" (Lubin). Man and monkeys are the only two animals who have to learn to swim — all others can swim the first time they try. Glad you like Mr. Moreno, but he does not come by the yard. Edith Storey now.
Francis A. — You refer to Ernest Shields in the Lucille Love series. Harry Schumm was the lieutenant. Yes; Francis Ford will be chatted. No ; George Washington had no children, yet we call him father.
L. C, San Francisco. — These questions go to press page by page, and they are not all written in one night. It would be impossible to arrange them alphabetically. Your view on the war is very good, and I have thought it over carefully. Sydney Ayres' picture will appear just as soon as we obtain a good one.
Alfred W. Kamloops. — Babe Hardy is Lubin's fat boy. Your writing is all right. Your letter is very interesting.
J. S. T.— The best book I know of for your purpose is "Motion Picture Operation," by Horstmann & Tousley, published by Drake & Co., Chicago, at $2.00. It Is
just out, and it is a concise, simple and able book. We get news from Paris early because the difference in time is over five hours!
Subscriber M. — Yiolette Stringer was Rosa in "The Twin Brothers Van Zandt" (Lubin). You say that Biograph would prosper more if they advertised their players more. Thanks muchly.
I No U.— Why dont you sign your name? The verse is so beautiful that I am putting it here: "Dear boy, when you are tired, and the day seems long, sometimes we must worry when things go wrong. Remember that your clever answers and fun are cheering up many a blue some one. Come, readers, and join in this toast with me: May you live till you're really seventy-three!"
Olga, 17. — You are very generous, and I thank you, not only for the fee, but for your charming letter.
Kathleen K. — Earle Fox has the roaming fever also. Olive Drake was Lily in "Lily of the Valley" (Selig). You refer to Lafayette McKee.
Grace, 17. — Irene Howley was the girl in "An Hour of Terror" (Biograph). Florence Turner isn't heard of much in this country, but she is popular abroad. Four years ago she was on top.
Ethel J. — In 1911 the National Board of Censorship inspected on an average of 231 reels monthly, the next year 371, and last year 588, which shows a growth of 100%. Henry Walthall, Blanche Sweet and Marshall Neilan in "Classmates."
is the hand of official censorship finally to blot out all that is interesting in the photoplay, for the benefit of the children?
