Motion Picture Magazine (Mar-Jul 1918)

/TFVMOTION PICTUR MnCH I MAGAZINE Marie H. — You say I am an awful lot like sugar — refined. Oh, lady, lady! Adele Rae. — You will see a picture of Wallace MacDonald in the Gallery soon. I think I shall have to give you the advice of one of the greatest preachers this country ever produced, Henry Ward Beecher : "Whoever, wherever and however situated a man is, he must watch three things, sleeping, digesting and laughing; they are three indispensable necessities. Prayers are very well and reading the Bible very well indeed, but a man can get along without the Bible, but he cannot without the other three." Winsome Margell. — Forrest Stanley is on the legitimate. No, "The Deemster" was his last. I dont know of any company who is in the market for five-reel scripts just now. Consult our Mr. Phillips. I admire the personality of that player very much. It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes life worth looking at. Jessie H. — You ask who is the most perfectly formed woman, Mary MacLaren, jerrie Deen or Mary Thurman. You've got me there, Jessie, and besides, I dont like to pass my opinion on such subjects. Oh, no, not a great man. A great man is always willing to be little. Our great men are all simple and democratic. W. E. — Yes, Frank Keenan has been on the stage. v Laurence G. — Glad to know you. Yes, he is versatile. I like a versatile man, but I would rather hear a man say, "This one thing I do," than "These fifty things I dabble in." Avrilla B. ; Celenia F. R. ; Frisky; Frisco; Fritzy; Valerie; Mildred; Grace C. ; Helen L. ; Mr. T. B., Paul D. M. ; Katherine K. ; French-Canadian ; Mildred V. — Kind friends, your letters were all interesting, and some of them were exceedingly helpful. Accept my thanks and pardon me for not giving you each an individual answer. Curiosity. — Many thanks for the Southern candy. Haven't had anything like it since I was in Atlantic City. Mighty good of you to think of me. Gil B., Vancouver. — So you think George Fisher and Tom Forman look alike. I fail to see it. Dr. Frank Crane says that the war cost so far, estimated July, 1917, in money to the Entente allies, $70,200,000,000; to the Teutonic, $109,500,000.000. Cost in men, killed, wounded and missing, to the Entente, 8.992,956; to the Teutonic, 6,301,773; total on both sides, 15,294,729. Great losses since this date, but figures are not available. War is war. Squirrel Bill. — See above for addresses and then send for a list of manufacturers. Your toast is good and far from being dry toast. Roscoe Arbuckle in "Out West." M. F. S. — Sorry you feel so blue. Lincoln said that "folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." Think of something funny. I have never met Mary Miles Minter. Gloria Swanson is back with Keystone. Cebollina. — Next, please. Deedela. — I certainly enjoyed your clever letter. Why do all the cameramen wear riding-breeches? They have to ride in automobiles, dont they? Dont believe all you hear. No, I dont like such titles as "The Price of a Good Time" and "Those Who Pay." Vernon H. — I know Mildred Manning well. She was born in New York and at an early age succumbed to the lure of the legitimate stage, where she gained a wide, varied experience. She likes outdoor sports and is an expert horsewoman, swimmer and rifle-shot. A patent ob tained in Canada would be void in the United States, I'm sure, unless entered here in the regular way. We did have a Classic cover of Mrs. Vernon Castle. Minnesota Slim. — You say you could never get up enough speed to write to me. My dear, ihis is not a race. You dont require speed, but stuff. Robert Leonard is directing for Universal. Lottie Briscoe is somewhere in New York. I seldom flirt. Flirtation is attention without intention. Hilda F. — You ask why Wallie Van, Florence Turner, Vera Sisson, Helen Badgely and Lamar Johnstone left the movies. Search me ! Anyway, several of these haven't. Charlotte E. H. — Of course I like you to write and ask questions. That's the only way I will earn my salary, isn't it? See February Classic for Olga Petrova cover. How does Doug Fairbanks stand it to play his parts in the movies, and what exercise does he take to enable him to do it? He gets all the exercise he needs while doing his stunts and that keeps him strong. Luzzi. — The second one for mine. I enjoyed your letter very much. Jewel Carmen is noted as being the girl with the champagne eyes — sparkling but expensive. Petite Twins. — So you expect me to believe all this rubbish you are telling me. You know differently. Some one said that mosquitoes and babies are the "voices of the night," but how about Thomas on the back-yard fence? I would rather stand all three than the present state of the thermometer in my room. Ruth K— You should have looked it up in the book of facts. Lincoln was assassinated April 14, 1865 ; Garfield, July 2, 1881 ; McKinley, Sept. 6, 1901 ; Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary, June 28, 1914. I know of no other Reids. Thanks muchly. Thu Jays. — I never got your book on Mother Goose. You say since I am in second childhood, 1 might enjoy it. So you didn't care much for "Thais," but you like Mary Garden. Olga, 17.— Who goes there? Ah, and is it you? I thought I recognized your writing and the peculiar twist that you give to your well-chosen words. And it's William Farnum now? Poor Crane! Allen B.— Yes, that was carelessness on the part of the director. Better luck for your scenarios. Mae G. — Yes, honey, I am on the waterwagon, and always was. I am a buttermilk drunkard. Valeska Suratt has given up pictures temporarily. She was playing in Brooklyn not long ago, and is planning to do one grand big picture next summer — if she is not forgotten by then. Copey. — You are so good to me, really. You say I am a regular Abraham. Who was he? Father of a multitude? Catherine. — Olive Thomas is your favorite. She is coming along fast now. Your epistle fairly screeched with patriotism for Uncle Sam and venom for the Kaiser. G. S. R., Westmount. — No, I didn't assign your letter to the W. P. B. Lorna Volare was the child in "The Secret of the Storm Country." Thanks for the papers. Leon B. — He may not be so cold as you think. There is something in all hearts that can be reached, some chord that will give forth sweet music if we only have skill to touch it. See if you cant locate it. Billie Rhodes is 20 years old. Alias Iowa, 14. — It behooves me to say your letter was long and interesting. Most of the pacifists are now trying to get into the army. They know at last that the only way to get peace is to fight for it.
