Motion Picture Magazine (Nov 1916-Jan 1917)

143 ANSWER DEPARTMENT Anna Belle. — "Gloria's Romance" was taken down South. David Powell was Richard. I doubt whether the carnival will be held again. I advise you not to try to get in the pictures. Without experience you will have a hard row to hoe — or none at all. Nell M. — Gladden James is with Triangle. We may have an interview with him soon. I sometimes wear glasses, and I have to when you write so fine. Pity my eyes-in E. H. T. — Yours was more of an oration. Why not hire a hall? You refer to Marshall Neilan. He is directing for Lasky. Yes, indeed. If you cant keep your secret, how can you expect anybody else to keep it? Hence, keep it to yourself. Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead. L. L. E. H. — Ralph Herz is a "Cantab" or graduate of Cambridge University. He came to the United States with Mrs. Patrick Campbell, appearing in "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," "Aunt Jennie" and "The Joy of Living." He has also been in musicalcomedy, and was the character-star in "Ruggles of Red Gap." If you were not answered, it is because you didn't put your name and address in the letter. L. C. Shumway is with Universal. Francesca P. O. — But you must not ask for pictures of myself, for they are rare and priceless. Kathryn Dufee. — So you write to the limerick winners. No, I never met the lady personally, altho our Editor has. Violet MacMillan is with California M. P. Co. Elizabeth S. — Harold Lockwood is not married. Viola Dana has been on the stage in New York. Why dont you send your votes in for George Walsh? Every little bit helDS, but you'll have to hurry. Grace S. — Barbara Gilroy was the girl in "Nymph." Thomas Curran was the artist. "High sea" is usually three miles from the coast. Heave ho, my lads, heave ho! Mary J. G. — But dont you ever stop to think of the expense a player is put to when sending photographs and letters to all his or her admirers? Remember, you are only one — so enclose a little compensation. William T. P. — Harold Lockwood was born in Brooklyn. No, he is not married. "Duping" is film theft that all the manufacturers have to guard against. The Chaplin pictures are insured with a burglary insurance policy that covers "duping." The process consists of making a negative from the positive print by a reversal of the usual photo-print process. From the negative so made, any number of "dupes" can be made. Sweet Tennessee Girl. — I dont know why fat men are always funny, but I do know than thin men are not always solemn. You refer to True Boardman, in "The Social Pirates." William T. H. — And where are you keeping yourself? Why dont you let me hear from you? Helen C. — Thanks for that information. Albert Rose. — So you want less cartoons and more answers? Perhaps the Editor will observe your wishes, but all do not agree. You like Nell Shipman's eyes. Emerson is good reading for you, Stella B. — Your questions were all out. of order. Why not ask about the different plays, players, etc. Florence H. — Sorry I cant help you. Louis S., Irvington. — I dont know where that other letter is; but Francis Bushman and Beverly Bayne are not married. Nat Goodwin and Flora Finch are playing together in "Tuned Up." Olga, 17. — So you saw "The Masque of Life." Have no cast for it, but will let you know later. Billie Quirk, Augustus Phillips, Estelle Mardo, Edward O'Connor in Monmouth pictures. Werner. — Of course the election suited me. I am. a little sorry now that I didn't accept the nomination myself, but with my help I think Wilson will be able to get along. Ruth Roland is with Balboa. Marguerite Courtot is with Famous Players. I have passed your limerick along. Thanks. Lilola. — Thank you for the fee. Yes, Karin Norman is Lillian Walker's sister. I certainly enjoyed your long letter. Worcester. — I suggest that you submit that play. I envy none who know more than I; but I pity him who knows less.
