Here's to the friends I class as old; here's to those I class as new. May the new soon grow to me old, and the old ne'er grow to me new. If you like to write letters, or think I know something you would like to know, or have something on your chest you want to unload — well, you have my address. Sunshine Shirley. — You want a chat with Wallace MacDonald now that he is playing regularly. Wallace, Wallace, please stand up and be chatted. Baby Marie Osborne is appearing in vaudeville now. You suggest taxing bachelors. Certainly! Tax all luxuries! Olga, 17. — Oh,_ hello! Back again? So you think Robert Harron is improving wonderfully, and you liked "The Girl Who Stayed at Home." You must not neglect your poor old Answer Man. Neglected duties never bring happiness. Beb.— Write the Metro Co., 1476 Broadway, N. Y. City. Fluff. — Thanks for the gum. You say you know I'm a man. Well, I'm glad some one is convinced of that. I've been trying to tell you all so for ten years, and at last somebody believes. I thank you. Jack Holt was the sweetheart in "The Road Thru the Dark." Edmund Lowe in "Vive la France." William Stowell in "Hearts of Humanity." Yes, Robert Anderson. Lloyd Hughes, Frank Braidwood and George Huckathorn were the three brothers, and Margaret Mann was their mother. No, the cat has no name. You're welcome. Whippet. — Constance Binney is with Paramount, 485 Fifth Avenue, N. Y. City. Elizabeth A. J. — So you think I would look handsome in a 1913 Ford. Righto ! I would look handsome in anything. Johnny Hines was Mick and Robert Fischer was Jack in "The Heart of Gold." You failed to enclose the envelope. Lonesome Lass. — Whow! You say old age is the devil who terrorizes beautiful women. Why so? I know lots of beautiful old women. There is something divine about growing old. You say your heart missed five beats when you saw Harrison Ford in "You Never Saw Such a Girl." Is he married? I should say not. I'd enjoy corresponding with you, but — the sight of this desk ! My work increases, and everything has gone up except the days — they still have only 24 hours in them. Mary M., St. Paul. — You say you admired Olga Petrova much more off the screen. And you think she has a wonderful shape. You're very quick at figures, I reckon. No, indeed, our magazines are not trade journals; they are regular, general, class magazines— and high-class, too. You say you were born on October 9th and you want to know your fate. Great guns ! I'm no prophet, futurist, astrologer, or seer, and nobody else is enough of a one to tell you that correctly. ">?' Brownie. — You've got it right when you say there is nothing like an empty stomach to quicken the desire to earn your own bread. But beware the Bolshevik and Jabberwocksy. Yes, Bill Hart has a sister. Winnifred Kingston was the lead in "The Virginian." Jane Novak with Paramount. Senga. — You wrote to Marguerite Clark over six weeks ago and she hasn't answered yet — and you want me to tell you what to do. That's easy — write her again. Sp am I fond of ice-cream. It seems that the first^ ice-cream served in America was served in the White House at a reception during President Madison's administration. Dusty Rhodes of San Diego. — Why didn't you make it a little longer? No, my dear, that isn't sarcasm. You have my O. K. Yes, "The Sea Master." Last picture of Herbert Rawlinson we published in December Magazine, 1918 issue You ask, "What is the wicked city of New York like?" Run in for five minutes and I'll tell you. You say you would rather be a live nut than a planted one. What's the difference? Elfrieda P. — Thanks for the picture you drew of me, but I want you to know that I do not chew the end of my pen, nor do I carry a wrist-watch. I have no time — except an alarm clock, and I dont carry that. John Bowers was the prince in "Day Dreams." Jack Pickford, Los Angeles, Cal. Ima Nut. — Better decide for yourself who is king of the movies. Of course, I know, but it wouldn't be diplomatic for me to say. You ask for a lock of my hair. My child, not for a million ! It couldn't be done, because I have none of my hair to spare. 'Tis sad but true, I have no queue. True 'tis 'tis pity, and pity 'tis 'tis true. Mary Miles Minter Admirer. — Yes, I see the women are now wearing vests, but I hope they have come as near as they ever will to wearing pants. Their present skirts are little more than one-legged trousers. Virginia Pearson's films will be released thru Pathe. Alice Lake is with Metro. Yes, write to the players — I think most of them will send their photos. Thu Jay. — Thanks for the lucky charm, and I hope, as you say, it will bring me luck, altho I am not quite so confident as you are. Yes, I still live in the hallroom, and I hope soon to be making enough money to warrant my taking an alcove. Thanks for yours. Billy, Newburg. — Now that the war is over, it is probable that the old order of appointment to West Point, thru Congressmen and U. S. Senators, will be resumed. Young men who have been graduated from the high schools are qualified to compete. William Sherwood was Duncan in "The Jury of Fate." Bara Fan. — Oh, my word ! You say love like ours can never, die (because it never existed!). Will nobody ever learn to love me? Helen Lackaye was Louise in "The Knife." Eugene Ormonde was Chabin in "The Light," (Fox). Miriam F. H. O. — Surely I remember you. Tell me more about Romaine Fielding. Yes, he was once one of our popular stars. And do you remember Curly?
