'** . J w_ 1 — / ^ ^^ — v ■* ',k them, either. Tnere'll be no more. I'm sorry, but I have no photos except the one up above. Socrates.— How learned. You know, Socrates is said to have brought down Philosophy from the clouds and made her converse with men. He drank the poisoned cup, in the seventieth year of his age — one hundred and one years before Christ. Plato and Zenophon were his disciples. Tom Gallery is married to Zasu Pitts. Sessue Hayakawa, in "The Street of the Flying Dragon." Inquisitive One. — Yes, that was Eugene Strong. The phrase, "Dont care a damn," is usually thought to be a piece of profanity. It is not so, however. The dam is a small coin current in India, and the phrase is equivalent to "Dont care twopence." So, when you say it, you wont be swearing. Mrs. Wallace Reid is playing opposite Lester Cuneo in "Behind the Mask." Shorts. — Jack Mulhall is in California. T. M. — Gloria Swanson has been married twice. Wallace Reid, once. Yes, Harrison Ford, in "Smilin' Thru," with Norma Talmadge. No, I am not a club member, because I am not married. You know, some men prefer home to the club, because there is some one there they can talk back to. Little Kid. — Write me any time. Will Hays sees that my mail gets to me O. K. H. M., Providence/ — The reason you didn't get an answer was because you didn't sign your name. Lotus W. — Certainly did enjoy yours. It made me sit up and take notice. Thanks for the pictures. Tell me some more. Elsie T. — Your logic is like a flea; it jumps around lively enough, but you can never put your finger on it. It all depends upon the size of the house, and also what kind of service you intend using. Get in touch with the various exchanges. Casanova. — You're right, women aren't the only ones that marry for a home. No, I am not jealous — point du tout. Rudolph Valentino has played in "The Four Horsemen'," "The Conquering Power," and "Camille." Dorothy W. — Yes, I try to be natural, because a diamond with a flaw is better than an imitation. I dont think "A Weaver of Dreams" has been done on the screen. OUR Ya's. — Thanks. But then, La Rochefoucauld says, "Whatever disgrace we have merited, it is almost always in our power to re-establish our reputation.'1 Francis Bushman played in "Graustark" for Essanay some years back. Eldex R. S. — You bet, I still live in my hall-room. They raised me twenty-five per cent, again last October. Everything is in terms of per cent. Beer is two and seventy-five-one hundredths per cent., women are one hundred per cent., and rents are raised twenty-five per cent. Wallace Beery was Magna, Barbara Bedford was Cora, and Albert Roscoe was Uncas, in "The Last of the Mohicans." Arlixe T. — Thanks, glad to get the info. Write me again. Mary E. K. — You're right, Mary ; you say some men, like pictures, are fitter for a corner than a full light. Eugene O'Brien has been in pictures about eight years. He is working on "Chivalrous Charlie." Alice Lake, in "The Golden Gift." Recixs. — Wanda Hawley was born in Scranton, Pa. Peter Gixk. — Well, a man's character is like his shadow, which sometimes follows and sometimes precedes him, and which is occasionally longer, occasionally shorter, than he is. Thomas Meighan is married, and so is Gloria Swanson. Regina Quinn. in "From Now On." Alice Beth. — Thanks for the invitation to come to Hollywood. That's my next desire. Do write to your old Answer Man again. Alice P. — Of course, I am eighty. Expect to have a birthday in January, if life runs on like a song. Humph ! There's a lot of people out of tune. Pauline Frederick is playing in "The Sting of the Lash." Just Me. — Hello! King Baggot is directing. He's still in the game. Jackie Coogan's next picture will be "My Boy," which deals with the trials and tribulations of an orphan boy. It will be in five reels. William S. Hart will Ora Carewe, opposite Yes, you can use a Marie L. W. — Nay, nay, Marie. I would be lynched f I answered you truthfully. The naked truth. And then, what about the Board of Censors ? N. A. L. — Be careful how you invest your money in motion picture stocks. There are hundreds of fly-bynight companies organized every month, whose principal business is to sell stock and then retire. Edward Earle was in New York last I heard of him. Gladys B. — Since you are a girl, it was perfectly all right for you to write Mary Pickford, telling her that you love her. As a rule, a woman loves most to be loved ; a man to be admired. Clarine Seymour was no relation to Anita Stewart. U. Make Me Laff. — As long as I dont make you sick, I'm all right. Haven't the address of Buster Keaton's sister. Write him at Los Angeles, Calif. It's hard work keeping track of the players, without knowing the whereabouts of their relatives. No offense, however. Flanical. — Seems to me you are rather strenuous, since you both kill and drown ; but, since you only kill time and drown sorrow at the photo-show, you are excused. Marjorie Daw has been selected to play in "Fifty Candles." Edna Murphy and Johnnie Walker, in "Play Square." Raymond Hatton is in California. Ruth E. — Well, your letter was all about Mary Miles Minter. I have never met her, but I think she is very beautiful. Algy. — Poor Algy ! I promise not to put you in the alsorans. You say, "Even if marriage is likely to be a failure, a wedding is always a success." Yes, a good beginning, anyway. Quite a joke, haw, haw, Algy. G. C. K. — Well, you have a good line of talk ; why dont you try it? The reason for that is that the Dead Sea contains upwards of twenty-six per cent, of saline matter — that of the ocean varying from three to four. No living object has ever been found in the waters of the Dead Sea. Helexette S. F. — Cheer up, return to the screen in February. Bert Lytell, in "Lady Fingers." postage stamp twice. The first time, it will cost you two cents; the second time, fifty dollars. You want an interview with Walter Heirs. Also with Frank Glendon. Gloria Louise. — Be sincere, tho your sincerity should cost you your life. Did you read the interview with Irene Castle last month? It's worth reading. Bibixits.— Glad to hear from India. Well, the first picture that was made didn't run along so smoothly as the present pictures. You want to know the name of a few players who are near-sighted. How about Harold Lloyd and Ben Turpin ? Well, dont you know that a man is a slave to his own opinions ; a woman is a slave to the opinions of her husband. Tyllie H. — No, child, I am not married. As George Eliot wisely said, "In the ages since Adam's marriage, it has been good for some men to be alone, and for some women also. William Russell, in "From the West." Owen Moore is playing in "Love Is an Awful Thing." And he's pretty good authority. Did you like the interview with Milton Sills last month? Little Boy Blue. — I sure did enjoy yours. Why dont you write me a personal letter and tell me about West Point? You are very interesting. Arthur N. — All right; that's a go — every month. Lally Vote. — Texas Guinan is an actress and not an actor, as you supposed. Yes, Bebe Daniels really was in jail. Her next picture is "Spring Fever." with Eddie Sutherland and Myrtle Stedman. A Barrymore Fax. — Some letter. Thanks for all you say about me. You want Lillian Gish to remain in pictures, and you think Rudolph Valentino is the epitome of Romance. You want Norma Talmadge and Eugene O'Brien to play together again. Wish hard enough and it may come true. Marion B. — So you are studying Caesar and want to see him in pictures. Well, he was the greatest man in all Roman history. As a general, he was equal to the greatest and most admired commanders the world ever produced. He was assassinated the fifteenth of March.
