Why, the members of the correspondence clubs write to one another about the pictures they have seen, criticise, praise, etc., etc. Loyal Pearl — I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the kind things you say about my department. I try to make both ends meet. Regina H. — Yes, I know there is a certain kind of pleasure in weeping; grief is soothed and alleviated by tears. But it's been a long time since I've been up to Bedford Park. Yes, it is true that Ralph Ince is now playing in pictures. He'd rather show us what he can do than to tell other people what to do. 'Member when he used to play for Vitagraph? M. Z. L. — Yes, indeed, my beard is as long as in the picture. That's a very good likeness of me. Of course I go to church. Well, I think there should be a Bible in every home. Do you know, that the largest Bible in existence is in the royal library at Stockholm? The covers are made of solid planks, four inches thick, and the pages measure a yard in length. It is estimated that 100 asses' skins must have been used to furnish the 200 parchment leaves of this colossal book. It is considered priceless. It would be a little too large for my room. Run in again. Green Eyed Evelyn". — Surprised to read the cynical closing lines of your letter that you "wouldn't marry the best man living." I'm sorry you feel that way about me, but I appreciate the compliment. Pauline Frederick in "Roads of Destiny" from the stage play. Grace Darmond is also playing with her. Mary Bell Mc. — Yes, Dorothy Gish has been wearing a wig. Mary. — That's right, but everyone is an architect of his own fortune. I'm forever building castles. Better give up the idea of scenario writing. Rae. — You're right about Louise Huff. Yes, our early geographies showed what was called the Great American Desert. The dry area now coincides with the whole map — more map revision necessary and it's dry work. Pass the buttermilk. Send for a list of the clubs, Rae. Doug, Jr. — Thanks for the invitation, Doug, but I wont be able to spend a Sunday with you. That's the day I have to do my mending. And then I do some knitting too. Silver Spurs is a Southerner. Ye Shimmey. — I'm afraid you're dying a slow death. Thanks, but great minds have a right to change their opinion. I always try to carry a few proverbs with me for constant use. Didn't you recognize Charles Arling as ye villain in "Old Kentucky Days?" He of the Pathe Western fame. No, I prefer mine frapped. The Moth. — He sure was double jointed ; Lon Chaney was The Frog in ''The Miracle Man." Yes, "Soldiers of Fortune" was some picture. No, it's not well to be too stingy in our praise, for men will do more to support a character than to raise one. So be liberal. Mrs. Rejected Gloogoos. — You sure do write a clever letter. Come on in again. Fluff. — Yes, Marguerite Courtot was the Belgian girl. "The Passion Flower" was produced in 1912. Yes, Gladys Les" lie. Not so long ago a wise Westerner dropped in to see me and left this glittering aphorism : "Figures wont lie, but liars will figure." And he reminded me of what you said. Catherine G Q. — Yes, I can see Norma Talmadge is your favorite. She used to run in to see us very often. In fact she was present the day a good many of my dear readers presented me with a wonderful loving cup, which I possess with much joy. MOTION PICTURE CLASSIC MARCH DUMBER The character of a book or magazine is determined largely by its author or editor and staff of writers. And certainly the Motion Picture Classic's tremendous growth — its continued leadership among the Motion Picture Public — may be attributed, largely, to its staff of writers. The March issue is an example of the Classic's strong character. Its Writers and Artists have very cleverly put the glare of the spotlight right on the most interesting things in screenland. MAE MARSH has returned to the screen. FREDERICK JAMES SMITH has written a human, vital story of the little tragedienne illustrated by new photographs of herself and small daughter, Mary Marsh Arms. The beautiful OLIVE THOMAS is always interesting. In a chat, illustrated by new photographic studies, FAITH SERVICE presents the real girl. There are also intimate chats with SHIRLEY MASON, the diminutive Fox star, Zena Keefe, Francelia Billington and others, besides three big film dramas in story form. And there's a beautiful cover of Clarine Seymour, the "Curie Beautiful" of the screen. The Motion Picture Classic 1 75 Duffield Street, Brooklyn, N.Y. 128 Afi£
