Answer Man (Continued from page 108) Scotch. — Haig and Haiti or Black and White? Harold Lloyd is all o. k. now. James B. Mc — Thanks for the cast of "The Girl from Outside." Yes, Clara Horton was June Campbell. Boysvch. — Forget about "Who won the war" — this is no time to talk about it. It's won, and there's an end on't. A. W. L. — Thanks very much for the sugar. Sweet of you, I'll say ! In response to your solicitous inquiry, I am glad to announce that I am 98 9/Sth per cent, as to my health — and I am getting younger and healthier every day I live. Ermie, Toronto. — I dont know that it is so hard for a girl with a past to get a good husband, providing that past is not too long. Very few men want an old maid for a wife. However old the men are. they want the girl to be young and fresh. Every eligible bachelor maid and widow who has passed forty and who is very fat or very thin and very homelv. has a secret hope that she will land some nice middle-aged or elderly man. but I can tell her right now that she has about one chance in one hundred and ninety-nine. However old a man is, he prefers the maids to the old maids. You are right, and a woman's guess is generally more reliable than a man's certainty. Write to me again. Peggy W., of 209 Rentschler Bldg., Hamilton, Ohio, writes me as follows — jnst to show other readers a fair sample hat I receive : "Dear Answer Man — Was so surprised and also very, very happy, to see my answer in the February Motion Picture Magazine. It seems that I had written ages ago and never thought you would answer my letter. You told me to jazz up a bit; now. just what do you mean? My, you must be smart, answering so many letters and saving such awfully funny things. The first thing I read when the magazine comes is your section. I'd just love to see what you look like, perhaps like Wallie Reid, Eugene O'Brien or Kenneth Harlan, and still you may be much handsomer, altho I cant understand how any one could be any betterlooking than the three above named. I do envy Wallie Reid's wife and also Gene's and Kenneth's, if they have one, have they? I'm just wild about movies and could live at a movie house. I think Wallie Reid, Gene O'Brien, Kenneth Harlan. Elliott Dexter. Earle Williams. Harrison Ford, Xiles Welch, Richard Barthclmess, George Walsh, Parks Jones. Jack all, Cullen Landis, Mary Pickford, Mary Miles Minter, Mabel Xormand, Vivian Martin, Wanda Hawley, Viola Dana. Shirley Mason, Billie Rhodes. Lila Lee. Peggy flyland. Betty Compson. Olive Thomas, Bessie Love, Constance Talmadge, Dorothy Gish, Ethel Clayton. Alice Brady, Jackie Saunders and June Caprice are all darlings and. if I had to ch my fa.' rite, it would be an awfully hard job. Ever_ since I saw Mabel Xormand in 'Mickey.' Mary Pickford in 'The Hoodlum' and Betty Compson in 'The Miracle Man' I ju-t -imply adore them. One day I had nothing to do and just for pastime wrote some names of movie stars. Then I • the following rhyme on Mabel Normand. As it i^ my fir-t 'poem,' I'm very proud of it. Now, dont laugh, please.
