Motion Picture Magazine (Mar-Jul 1918)

8 u Bobunk. — Alma Hanlon was Diana in "The Whip." Write to her again. Everybody should have some kind of a temper. A disturbed temper is apt to falsify the scales of justice. Even Jesus had a temper and He was the most perfect of men. James Levering opposite Marguerite Courtot in "Feather Top." Irving Cummings in "The Whip." Dorothy Dalton was Evelyn and Robert McKim was John in "Unfaithful." Wally Bug ; G. M. G. ; Pretty ; Pearl White Admirer; Kads; Estelle B.; E. A. P. ; Miss E. M.; F. M.

Special Hospital, Witley Camp, Surrey, England, is an American" soldier who has been wounded in a. German air raid on London and would like to hear from some of our American girls. " * • :c '.' • ' ' . .'■.-. Marie D. — Why, no ; William Russell doesn't look like an Indian, but he has all the good qualities of one and none of the bad ones. Martin Kenney was the butler in "Blue Blood and Red." Doris Pawn was the girl. Charlie Chaplin's "A Dog's, Life"; is released thru the National Exhibitors' Exchange, and it's a winner. Annabelle M. — Young ladies should set a good example, because young men are sure to follow. Frank Campeau was Bill Madden in "The Man from Painted Post." Why, I thought your letter was very interesting— sure and it was. Rae Martin was with Biograph. Lorena. — You refer to George Larkin and Ollie Kirkby, who were recently married in California. Next? Fay Tincher, she of the spit-curl fame, has joined the World Film Co. Charles Ray was the prince. Why, yes; Jack Pickford in "The Spirit of '17." Catherine McDonald was Flora. Hula Dula. — D. W. Griffith's last was "Hearts of the World," and his next big feature will be "Women of War," with Dorothy Gish and Robert Harron. Wyndham Standing in "Rose o' the World." Evelyn Greeley . was Margaret in "The Beautiful Mrs. Reynolds." Conway Tearle in "Stella Maris." You dont expect me to know from that description, do you? I am not a wizard. Blonde Curls. — Avec plaisir will I answer you. To go back into ancient, or at least medieval history, Ernest Truex was Artie in "Artie, the Millionaire Kid." Lulu May Bowen in "When a Man Sees Red." Ralph Kellard is playing on the Broadway stage now. Eleanor J. C. — Hardee Kirkland was Javart in "Les Miserables." You refer to John Bowers. Why not join a correspondence club? Joseph Kilgour is playing in the stage play "Oh, Look," on Broadway. William Duncan's next serial is "The Woman in the Web." Belva Lee. — The present national change in time will not affect the tempo of the "Minute Waltz" or the "Dance of the Hours," and I dont see how it can affect "The End of a Perfect Day." William Cremans was McGraw in "All For a Husband." Irving Cummings' last picture was a Fox. Oh, surely Warren Kerrigan answers his letters. There's no doubt in the world but that Mary Pickford would write to you if she knew what an ardent admirer you are. Charlotte Burton doesn't support William Russell now — it's the other way round. It's quite apparent that Wallace Reid is a parent. _ (Stand a little back, O Gentle Reader, for these air puns are apt to go off at any minute!) Cesar's Ghost. — Oh, so you have been called a fanatic. I'm sure you_ have been misjudged. I've been called out of my right name so many times that * I dont know when I am being spoken to. Dont know how I can help you. Why, yes ; I would be delighted to receive a lock of your hair. It might match my whiskers. Mike D. — FranCelia Billington was the leadingwoman in "The Sea Master." Oh, but you must find friends. You know every human soul has the '" germ of some flowers within that would open if they co^ld find sunshine and free air. Beginner. — You refer to Herbert Spencer, who wrote : "No one can be perfectly free until all are free; no one can be perfectly moral till all are moral; no one can be perfectly happy till all are happy." You say you just wrote to me because you need sympathy. Of course I shall try to be kind to you, for they tell me I'm a kind old man. Christopher Cucumber. — You say whiskers are going to be in style after the war. Then I shall be right in it, unless I get bald on my chin as I am on my head. Marshall Neilan is directing only. That George Walsh chat will come along soon. Mrs. C. B. — Yes, Marguerite Marsh is a sister to Mae Marsh. _ W. L. D. — Try .the studios. Yes, most of our Motion Picture queens give largely to charity. It seems to be a quality in the profession. The best philanthropy is that which enables the recipient to support himself. The worst charity is the one that makes the recipient dependent. S. Sudbury. — Why, yes, I can refer you to good authority on photoplay-writing, but why not select ' from the list at the bottom of Mr. Phillips' department? Send a stamped, addressed envelope. Gertrude Aster was Louise in "The Price of a Good Time." Mary C— Roscoe, attention ! Mary says she is tired of seeing that old plaid shirt on you, and wants you please to make a change. Sorry you find it so hard to attach yourself to work. That which causes us to lose most of our time is the repugnance with which we naturally have to labor. Dora S. — I thank you, gracious lad}-. You pay me a high compliment. Herbert Rawlinson in "The Flash of Fate." Ah, but chastity is the mother of abstinence. Helen Mac. — June Caprice was born in Arlington, Mass., in 1899. She has had no stage experience. Mr. Fox discovered her one day at a baseball game. You say your desire is to be a reporter. Very exciting work, all right, and requires a lot of imagination (particularly when you cant get facts). Syzygy. — Matt Moore was with Selig last and Tom Forman is in the service. Francis Ford is in California. Robert Leonard is playing and Max Linder soon will be. It was William Lloyd Garrison who said : "My country is the world ; my countrymen are all mankind," but if he were alive he couldn't say that now. Bondanna. — Rodney La Rock was the brother in "Filling His Own Shoes." I have no choice. I like curly hair as first choice, and straight hair better than curly hair. "The message to Garcia," to which you refer, was written by Elbert Hubbard, who went down on the Lusitania. Lady Baltimore. — You mean the Vivaphone Co., that produced "David Copperfield." Eric Desmond was David as the youth and Kenneth Ware when he was a man. Edna May was Emily and Alma Taylor was Dora. I am sure if you write to Mary Pickford she will answer. Yes, write to our Sales Manager for the back numbers. Yours was enjoyed very much. Betty H. — It is with narrow-souled people as with narrow-necked bottles — the less they have in them, the more noise they make in pouring it out. No, you dont have to be beautiful, rich and have a college education to get in the movies. You have to be able to act and screen well. Of course the wives dont get jealous when their husbands kiss the players, but it must be done before the camera only. Raymond Mc. — But you know, Raymond, when a man decides he is sensible enough to select a wife, he is too old for the frivolous maidens he would like to marry. Most of the players get a salary and some receive a royalty also. Oh, there are many more studios in California than in New York. Bernice. — They are no relation. So long as your conscience is clear. Conscience, you know, is to the Christian what the lighthouse is to the sailor — it guides him on his course. Louise Fazenda in "The House of Mirth." Richard Rosson, of Vitagraph fame, is now with Keystone. {Continued on page 117) 1A&C
