(pTC ION PICTUI T To be well groomed and well gowned — to have a graceful step and a ready smile — to be self-possessed and brilliant in conversation — is worthy of the ambition of any woman. But — why ruin the effect with a complexion that cannot stand the closest glances? Why attract by other charms and repel by a rough or blemished skin? Be fair of complexion — be fair to yourself. CARMEN COMPLEXION POWDER gives that final touch which counts for so much in winning admiration and praise. Wherever you are, have your complexion above criticism. Carmen will do it — the powder that stays on. White, Pink, Flesh, Cream and the new CarmenBrunette Shade SOc .

Dr. Jeanne M.P.Walter 353 Fifth Ave., New York /Billings Building-. 4th Floors VEnt. on 34th St. ,3dDoorEasW Pacific Coast Representative: Adele Millar Co., 345 Stockton St., San Francisco, Cal. M. H., Mt. Morgan. — You never fail me, and I'm glad to hear from you. William Lawrence was Ali Baba in "Little Princess." And you are now enjoying the summer breezes while I am dodging the winter freezes. Eva L. Tasmania. — Thanks for your entertaining letter. Norman U. S. — Evelyn Nesbit and Irving Cummings in "The Woman Who Gave." Who knows, perhaps I'll be getting $10 a week by June. But getting money is not all a man's business ; to cultivate kindliness is a valuable part of the business of life, and I am keeping a little garden and trying hard to raise a goodly crop of it. You think we criticise June Caprice too much, and that George Walsh uses too much make-up. June, be patient, and George, be conserving. R. U. A. Mason.— John Adolfi directed "The Woman the Germans Shot." The Vatican is the palace of the Pope at Rome, in which he holds his court and it is his "prison," so-called because he rarely leaves it. It is an enormous cluster of connected buildings like a very closely built town, comprising 22 court yards and 11,000 apartments. See above about Mary Pickford. Blue Gun Billy. — Thanks for your charming note. Write Paramount. Mrs. Chas. W. — You can reach E. K. Lincoln, 110 West 40th Street, New York City. Agnes E. T. — Take first prize for letter writing, Agnes. Florence Reed and Duncan McRae in "The Woman's Law." Thanks for the program. Nellie M. — Certainly I sing. I sing like a tea-kettle filled with water. Stop in and I will sing for you sometime. I try all my music on my dog first. Sometimes he joins me, but whether from joy or pain I am not sure. "Wives of Men" was that other Florence Reed picture. Wally Hubby. — Well, life at best is full of dangers, and but few of us ever get out of it alive. Bessie Barriscale you refer to. So you would like to see Marion Leonard, Del Henderson, Maurice Costello and a few of the old-timers back again. Gone, but not forgotten. Phyllis. — Well, it was this way: I came to Brooklyn when I was a young man to earn an honest living and found no competition, so I prospered. Dorothy Davenport is not playing now. Wallace Reid and Dorothy Gish in "Old Heidelberg." Thanks for the good wishes. Ethel G. — So Edwin Carewe is your favorite. He directs now, you know. Excuse me, but did I understand you to ask, which comes up first if all planted at the same time, carrots, onions, radishes and cabbage? and you answer cabbage, because it always comes up ahead. Wonderful ! Jack. — Fire away. Most of the companies get their antiques from the various antique shops. Brooklyn is great on antiques. I am from Brooklyn. Al Ray and not Charles Ray in "When Do We Eat?" However, that's a favorite expression of Charles. A. B. C. D. — You neglected to enclose the envelope. Thelma. — A voire saute. I'll have buttermilk. Oh no, I never drink bevo. It is more for retired beer drinkers. I agree with you that whiskey is our worst enemy, yet lots of people take to it very kindly. I suppose it is because the Good Book says that we should love our enemies. Send the letter here and I will forward it. Braids. — Yes, Bert Lytell in "The Lone Wolf."' We have no photoplay study book for sale, except "Here Lies" and "Primer," both selling for 75 cents all told, postage stamp, licking, wrapping and twine included. Bonnie W. — That cast is too long to give here. James Gerard did not play in that play himself, but he appeared personally in his own play. Your verses were mighty clever. Try some more. Kaiti. — Anita King was Jess and Corenne Grant was Belle in "Whatever the Cost." Bessie Eyton of Selig fame was Gladys and Wanda Hawley was the stenographer in "The Way of a Man With a Maid." Julia S. Gordon is not Anita Stewart's mother. Why not send in a subscription? It's cheaper. Silver Spurs. — Your letters are always cheery. I much prefer a Bonaparte to a Beau Brummell, but both vinegar and molasses are necessary to catch flies. I'm sorry to hear of so many of my readers having the flu. It flew around everywhere, but I thank the stars I didn't get it. Who knows where I would have been by now! (Please dont all start guessing). Count of Monte Cristo. — Ouida wrote "Under Two Flags." Marguerite Snow is a little peach from Georgia. Alan Dale's right name is Alfred J. Cohen. Some Cadiddy; Bricky; R. G. Y. ; Hazel H. ; Billy the Boy ; N. B. ; A. U. G. ; June Virginia; Eva U. ; M. L. Canada ; C. M. ; Alaska ; Bertie, Albertine. — You're all charming fellows, and I want to hear from you again. Edna — No fresh news on that scandal. Watch the bulletin. Ilmarette. — At present a platoon consists . of about 80 men, a company of United States infantry of 250 men, a battalion of 1,000 men, a regiment is composed of three battalions, or 3,700 men. Mary MacLaren was Mary Royal, and Thomas Holding was Gerald. Did you see all the other celebrities — Anna Nilsson, Franklyn Farnum, Marin Sais, Virginia Chester, and some more? Naida. — Funny thing, as I sit here reading these letters one is in praise of a certain player, the next one is against her, and so on, but in the end they all balance pretty much. As I understand it, Shakespeare intended the role of "Hamlet" to be taken from the life of Claudius, fourth of the Roman Emperors, a great coward and half mad. Warren Kerrigan in "The Unfinished Story." Bugler Frank R. — You can reach Olive Thomas at Selznick Pictures, 729 7th Avenue, New York. Harry A. S. — Dorothy Bernard is about 28, Ethel Clayton about 28, Grace Cunard 28, Theda Bara 28, but I am not sure of the year they were born — I'm glad your father is proud of you. Every man who has a clever son believes in heredity. I know my father did. A. E. F. — Alice Brady and Mahlon Hamilton in "The Death Dance." Earle Fox and Constance Talmadge in "Studio Girl." William Davidson in "Persuasive Peggy." Fred Church was Billy in "Clever Mrs. Carfax." Mrs. E. T. C, Boston. — You ask "When will young men and women, after their education and between the ages of 25 and 35, learn to save and carefully invest sufficient money to enable them to live in comfort on its income if anything should occur that would prevent them from earning money after the age of 35 ?" Alas, some will never learn it. True tis, tis pity, and pity tis, tis true. Hollis V. S. — Cant tell whether I snore in my sleep or not — never stayed awake long enough to find out. W. J. Wright and Nina Blake in "The Primrose Path." The picture was of Carrol Holloway. Violet Mersereau played three roles in "Together." (Continued on page 111) 96 -Afi£ — v,x\*:i
