Motion Picture Magazine (Aug 1918-Jan 1919)

<tm OTION PICTURI Sonny. — M. Gaston de Tolignac wrote "Hearts of the World." You're on a deep subject, but Cicero says : "The poet is born such ; the orator is made such ; but reading books of rhetoric and eloquent extracts, choice morsels of poetry and eloquence, will never make one an orator." Claude A. D. — Always in case of fainting, place flat on back, allow fresh air and sprinkle with water. Remember that for the next • time. William Desmond was Jack in "Closin' In." Yvonne. — Said Columbus to the Kaiser, "Dont you think you have adopted a rather expensive way of discovering America?" Some joke of yours. You also say the Kaiser is afraid to have his aching tooth pulled on account of the Yanks. Truly, I would say the gods hath made thee humorous. Jane Novak Admirer. — Wanda Hawley is with Paramount, and I am sure she will write to you. No, I haven't Sydell Dowling's present whereabouts. Edna Mayo isn't playing now. Well, we are all born crying, live complaining and die disappointed. Mildred C. — You ask if players send their pictures. I know that most players will, but you should enclose the 25 cents compensation. You're right; what a good many people need is more faith in themselves. Helen R. — You say I'm the greatest question going. You're some clever child, Helen. Robert Ckambers wrote "The Danger Mark." Yes, Elsie Ferguson had Khe lead. Unsigned. — You ask how a cow that is red can eat green grass, give white milk which makes yellow butter. I dont know — ask the cow. You are hors d'oeuvre. M'liss. — Your letter was indeed sad. Since you have set your goal, why not try to attain it? But be sure you are right, then go ahead. I wish I could help you. Kia Ora. Peggy O. — I'll have to start a department for the soft, lovelorn ones. Yours was all about Eugene O'Brien. Pauline S. — Be of good cheer; it is I, be not afraid. Ann Pennington was born in Delaware, 1895. Tom Forman was born in Texas. Eileen Percy was in "The Empty Cab." Some predicament, I'll admit. Thanks for the clipping. Viola T. — I cant help it if I am old. Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? So you think I earn about $30 a week. Do you really think I am worth all that? I shall tell the Editor and ask for a raise. Let me hear from you again. Silver Spurs. — You say the vampire in "Paradise Garden" was repulsive. You say refinement is stamped indelibly on Niles Welch's face. Niles, thank the lady. Molly O. O. — You say I have dragged you from the depths tonight. I thank my stars — that's one mark in my favor. You know you will never get into heaven if you dont try to take somebody with you. Latrelle Dooi.ittle. — No, Lillian. Well, what's the use of complaining? If people got all they paid for they wouldn't want to spend any more money. I agree with you about the music at some of our picture theaters. I also agree with Martin Luther, who once said that the devil cannot stand music. It is quite certa-r% that he could not stand some of the music which I am compelled to stand. L. C. N. — Sure, I make a good deal of noise, but I dont cackle, so I'm not a hen. I crow not, neither do I sin. Robert Gordon was George in "Missing." Harriette T. D. — Please hire a hall ; or, better, get a publisher. Lordy, such kwestions ! Come and see me again when I have more time.

The Stage Playing Cards will Cheer a Boy in Khaki. "Gosh," groaned Private John Stanton, "I'd give my right eye for a good game of solitaire."
