ANSWER DEPARTMENT
Bernice C. B. — May Allison was Katherine in "The Governor's Lady" (Lasky), Robert Grey was Tom Brandon in "Brandon's Last Ride" (Vitagraph).
Tootsie Toodles. — Lilie Leslie was the lead in "The White Mask" (Lubin). The Thanhouser Kidlet is a girl, and so is the Kid.
Reine F. — You neglected to enclose the envelope. I really cant answer why Charles Chaplin doesn't kiss his opposite. Possibly she wont let him, or maybe it is the censors, or his mustache.
Fuller-Kerrigan. — Thanks for the views of the exposition. Very pretty.
Mici G. — Gwendolyn Pates was last with Imp for a while, but I cant tell where she is now. Thanks for the invitation. I never butter my corn on the cob, on account of my whiskers.
Buddy. — Yes, that was Miriam Nesbitt in "Killed Against Orders" (Edison), but she still lives.
Helen L. R., Queena, Vyrgynya, Alice A. B., Billy Romaine. — Thank you for your remembrance.
Luty, Dover. — I enjoyed yours, and I hope to hear from you again.
May B. — So you thought our last issue was the "best yet?" Isn't that always so? William Betchel was Franci in "The Portrait in the Attic" (Edison). Viola Dana was Thelma. Lilie Leslie was Carola in "Siren of Corsica" (Lubin). Franklin Ritchie was Tonio in "His Romany Wife."
Margarette K. T. — I am not sure that I can settle the dispute. Charles Chaplin was born in England in 1890. Billie Ritchie says that Mr. Chaplin copied his make-up from him, because he, Ritchie, first used it in 1897 in England and later 5,000 times in "A Night in an English
Music Hall" in this country and in England long before Mr. Chaplin adopted a similar style and make-up. I dont; know Mr. Chaplin's reply to this assertion, and Billie Reeves (Lubin) claims that he, Reeves, was the original. Which is the funniest of the three I leave to you; but certainly Mr. Chaplin is the most widely known and popular.
C. C. H. Clarion. — Thanks for the compliment. Some studios work only one picture ahead, while others release according to circumstances. "Here Lies" contains donts about photoplay writing and gives fifty plots that are dead and buried. First edition was 3,000 copies.
Betty B. — You have got your colors mixed. Betty Gray is with Vitagraph, and Betty Brown is with Essanay. William Humphrey was Mr. Marsh in "His Wedded Wife" (Vitagraph). Crane Wilbur with Lubin. Yes, it is possible, and it is so, that fifty films of "Exploits of Elaine" are shown at the same time at different theaters all over the country. Some companies make 120 or more duplicates. There is only one negative. Only the positive prints are shown, and they can make as many positives as they wish.
Morwell H. Victoria. — William Taylor was Captain Alvarez. Ormi Hawley in "His Conscience" (Lubin). Thanks.
Oklahoma. — I dont know the origin of the practice of cracking a bottle of champagne on a ship when she is launched, but I think it a very bad practice. Still, it is perhaps the best use that the stuff could be put to. Arthur Donaldson in the "Runaway June" series.
Olga, 17. — So you really saw Paul Panzer. Wonderful sight! I have gotten so I look for yours first. Thanks!!
