Motion Picture Magazine (Feb-Jul 1920)

r?Ae This department is for information of general interest only. Those who desire answers by mail, or a list of the film manufacturers, with addresses, must enclose a stamped addressed envelope. Address all inquiries to The Answer Man, using separate sheets for matters intended for other departments of this magazine. Each inquiry must contain the correct name and address of the inquirer at the end of the letter, which will not be printed. At the top of the letter write the name you wish to appear. Those desiring immediate replies or information requiring research, should enclose additional stamp or other small fee; otherwise all inquiries must await their turn. Read all answers and file them — this is the only movie encyclopaedia in existence. If the answer is to appear in the CLASSIC, write "Classic" at top of letter. n <s REETINGS, friends! It doesn't take Jong for June to come around, and. this reminds me of the brides. For, a mighty pain io love, it is; and 'tis a pain, that pain to miss; but, of all pains, the greatest pain, it is to love and loVe in vain. To the brides: May your voyage thru life be as happy and as free as the dancing tvaves on the deep' blue sea. I almost wish I had one for myself. Irene Castle Fan. — Irene Castle became the wife of Vernon Castle in 1911. Ethel Clayton can be reachedat Paramount office, 485 Fifth Avenue, New York. Yes, Olive Thomas in "Youthful Folly." Dorothy B. — You say you cant understand why Richard Barthelmess never writes to you. Poor Richard! Richard, Richard, wherefore art thou? You will like him in "The Idol Dancer." Clarine Seymour is simply beautiful, yes, and more than that, a wonderful actress. She sometimes reminds me of Anita Stewart. Helene Mack. — Well, clothes may make some players, but it breaks many of them. Natalie Talmadge is playing with her sisters. You think I ought to have a wig. That isn't all I ought to have either. Mary Miles Minter in "Nurse Marjorie." Dinki Di. — Yes, send a stamped addressed envelope for a list. June Eividge is very athletic and was a professional equestrienne in the New York riding academies. Stuart Holmes and Frankie Mann are playing in "Trailed by Three." Movie Struck Lila. — Yes indeed, actions, looks, words, step from the alphabet and spell character. Why, Louise Glaum is playing in "Sex," a Hodkinson. Exine. — You say you have only three theaters in your town and they show only Metro pictures, what shall you do? Why, go see the Metros and be content. Many people are worse off than you are. Well, if you must be a pessimist, be a cheerful pessimist, dont let your face grow long, nor your disposition sour. Monte Blue is with Famous Players in Los Angeles, now. T. Bartholomew. — You can reach Roscoe Arbuckle at Los Angeles, Cal. Everybody knows Fatty out there, and it's mighty hard for him to hide. Trick stuff, you know. Alice Brady is playing in "Forever After." You still think that "Revelation" was the greatest picture you have ever seen. A good many think the same as you do, and our chief classes it as 100%. Yes, Constance Binney in "The Test of Honor." Nell Shipman and Al Whitman. Your five minutes are up, ring off, please. Peggy. — You ought to write direct to Norma Talmadge. Sorry I cant help you. Questionnaire. — Oh, I wouldn't say that. More than one wife at a time is polygamy, and, says the wag, only one wife at a time is monotony. Mahlon Hamilton and Harrison Ford are not married. Thomas Meighan is. Happy now? Blue Eyes. — No, I cannot undertake to describe how these tricks in Keystone comedies are done. You of course know that the players do not jump off thirtystory buildings, and that steam-rollers do not run over them. In most cases you will find that is done by the substitution of dummies. Yes, it is true Pearl White has gone to France. No, no, no picture of mine will ever appear in the magazine. S. O. S.— Well, I'm here! Dont let a little thing like a tattoo stop you from getting into pictures. Yes, Betty Compson. No, child, I have an excellent disposition. I never murmur without cause, and seldom have cause. But when I do, I use language not according to Hoyle. Conway Tearle opposite Marion Davies in "April Folly." Fluff. — No, honey, I dont hold any mosity toward you. Do you know< it is reported that Mary Pickford sees every motion picture that is produced in order to keep up with the times, while, on the other hand, Mrs. Sidney Drew rarely sees a play? Nell Craig of Essanay fame is playing opposite Owen Moore in "A Desperate Hero" for Selznick. Gladys Leslie in "The Soap Girl." May H. E. — So you have a new mole stole. Pray, what might that be? You ought to know something about the mole since you are wearing one. They are not blind, as many people suppose. Their eyes are hardly larger than a pin-head and are carefully protected from dust and dirt by means of enclosing hairs. Julia S. Gordon is under the direction of George Baker for International. H. S. G. — You see when a face appears chalky white on the screen it is either a case of too much light on the face or two much powder in the make-up, probably the former. You think Rosemary Theby is just right, and you would like to marry her. Rosemary, step forward — here's a proposal. Eileen Percy is to play opposite Tom Mix for Fox. Eustace F. — New subscriber, hey ! Good ! Always glad to hear from the newcomers. This department is for you as well as anybody. No relation. I'm quite alone in the world. I believe it is reported that Anita Stewart wears a gown in "The Yellow Typhoon" with over 10,000 beads, and it cost quite some pennies. Elsie G. — Yes, Ruth Shepley has played in pictures. Brown Eyes. — I dont know where you can get pictures of the players for nothing. Most people are willing to pay for them and then cant always get them. That was Mahlon Hamilton. I believe most diamonds are secured from the Transvaal and India. That's where mine came from. Molly O. — No, Molly, I have never been in love yet. I have taken particular pains not to because I fear that if I fell into a woman's arms I would fall into her hands, and I love my liberty too much for that. Yes, Clara Young is playing right along. Perhaps you refer to Frances Kaye. Catch Me. — Let 'er go ! No, I dont do my own washing, but I do some cooking. I'm quite sure it was not Bernard Shaw who said, "A mother's a mother all the days of her life, a father's a father until he gets a new wife." Kyrie. — Oh, joy! Heap much thanks! Do you know that you are a charming letter-writer? Write me all about it. You want more of Eugene O'Brien on the cover and something about Harold Lloyd. Would like to have seen the play you played in. \?\ la Q 86 .Afi£
