152 ANSWER DEPARTMENT Peg o' the North. — Valeska Suratt is with Fox, 130 W. 46th St., New York City. Ann Schaefer is with Western Vitagraph. Either Olga or Madam Petrova. She is English-Polish, you know. Yes, I think she will answer you. Yes, indeed, I was glad to see you. Stop in again when you are down this way. Yes, it was a big strike they had in Edison's phonograph plant, but it did not break all records. M. P. S. — But dont you know that you must sign your name? No, Ave are not contemplating a contest. Thanks for the fee. Franklyn B. B. — My records dont show how tall Douglas Fairbanks is. Next time I see him I will measure him. Yes, Sarah Bernhardt appeared in "Jeanne Dore." Billie Burke is about 30. W. W. Peavey. — Glad to have you as one of my friends. So you want your Pansy friends to know you are back from the Border. You've got me. Marie K. — Robert Frazer was with Lubin last, and Raymond Gallagher with Universal. So you dont care for Lois Weber's directing. Mary Pickeord Admirer. — Heap much thanks for your generous fee. Fannie Ward was born in St. Louis, Mo., in 1875. She has played on the stage in London and in America. Yes, I agree with you about that letter that was published. Thanks for the things you Bay about me. So you are anxiously waiting to see Mary Pickford. Beverly. — Bryant Washburn was Paul in "The Havoc." You ask: Do I think a girl with auburn hair and pug nose could get a position? Search me. She might, and then again she mightn't. Ruth Richards. — Earle Williams and Anita Stewart in "The Juggernaut." No, we never carried the story "Wildflower." S. P., Memphis. — You hate? I am surprised! Hatred is nothing but settled anger. Get it out of your system. Mary Pickford's studio is at 729 Seventh Ave., New York. Helen Gardner had the lead in Vitagraph's "Vanity Fair," Leo Delaney opposite her. Mrs. Fiske in Edison's "Vanity Fair." Ray, Green Bay.— "Battle Hymn of the Republic" was written by Julia Ward Howe in 1861. So you think October was the best Magazine we ever had, but wait till you see this one! Theda Bara and Stuart Holmes in "East Lynne." Verna, Minn. — The jealous sneer is the weak man's acknowledgment of the strong man's superiority. Isn't it so? Lillian Lorraine was Annette in "Neal of the Navy." Harry Morey in "The Pillar of Flame." Melva. — Dan Hanlon was Bill in "The Great Problem." No, Melva, I could never mistake you for another. Edavin S. — Joseph Singleton and Mabel Van Buren in "BreAvster's Millions." Sessue Hayakawa and Tsuri Aoki in "Alien Souls." Marian. — The world produces about 530,D00.000 pounds of cocoa every year, of which the U. S. consumes 130,000,000 pounds — more than any other country, Germany being next. Yes, you might try them. Eleanor Woodruff is playing on the stage now. Crane Wilbur is not with Vitagraph, but he ought to be. You did not enclose that picture. Lois. — Jewel Carman was Jane. A. M. S., Portland. — Well, the way to approach perfection is to strive constantly to make your best better. Anita SteAvart was born in Brooklyn Feb. 17, 1895. I hope you continue doing it. So you liked "The Dumb Girl of Portici." Mildred L. E. — Your letter was just right. Clara K. Young's picture in Mayr 1913, and in December, 1916. Red Sox Fan. — Allow me. Florence Dagmar was opposite Thomas Meighan in "The Clown." Frank Wupperman was Sir Richard in "The Suspect." You want to knoAv hoAv to reduce. Well, what? Weight, expense or doctor's bills? I suggest in all cases to stop eating. The only expenses you Avill then have will be funeral expenses. A. R. — You call me "Dear Old Answer Man," and I am only 74! You better not be wild about becoming a player until you have read all we have to say on the subject. Gertrude, New Orleans. — You refer to Claire Whitney, as Barbara in "East Lynne." Come again! Edna F., Trenton. — I doubt whether Ave Avill have the pennants then. We are offering photographs of the players — real photographs, and they are mighty fine for a year's subscription. William Desmond. Lonesome Heart. — You have my sympathy. Margarita Fischer is Avith Mutual. Dumb Bell. — Dont be bashful Avith me. Nay, nay, madam, say not so. I dont care to give my opinion as to the best-dressed man on the screen. Theda Baraite. — Most of her pictures are taken in NeAV York. You refer to the late Page Peters. Yes, my mistake. He was droAA^ned. Patrica. — I try to say simple things finely, and fine things simply, but I usually make a mess of it, I fear. You have the wrong title on that. Billie Billings was Marie in "The Hunted Woman." Yes, Jane Cowl is fine. Gladys M. — Surely, write again. Betty Compton AAras the wife in "A Quiet Supper for Four." Yes, the same Charlotte lAres. Mildred B. — I am happy to say I dont OAArn a Ford. A Ford is all right — as far as it goes. Yes, Gertrude Shipman played "Camille" in a Champion film. Melva. — Never had the pleasure of meeting Mary Fuller personally. So you didn't care for Billie Burke in "Gloria's Romance." Certainly not, I am ahvays glad to hear from you. Homer is said to have composed the "Iliad" after he was 60, so there's still hope for me. Lucia E. L. Vina. — You bet I love to walk in the woods. Woods are scarce in New York. Vernon Steele was Paul in "Hearts in Exile." You have the wrong title. Pinky, 17. — Harry Hilliard had the lead in "A Modern Thelma." I understand you have a new Strand Theater in your tOAvn.
