day. I dont mind the cold weather, my beard makes a good muffler.
Jewel. — So you think it is a shame that I have to work. Yes, them's my sentiments ! The defects of the mind, like those of the face, grow worse as we grow old. I dont mind it, tho. You want to see Gloria Swanson's little girl. All right ! Why, yes, "Head Hunters of the South Seas" is the name of Martin Johnson's jungle adventures. John Gilbert in "Calvert's Valley." Do write again.
Teddie and T. — You say you are all ready but the ring. Why not go to Denmark? There the maidens never receive a diamond engagement ring. They are always presented with a plain gold band, which is worn on the third finger of the left hand. On the wedding day, the bridegroom changes the ring to the third finger of the right hand, which is the marriage finger in that country. Louise Lovely with Famous Players. Frank Mayo in "The Summons."
Moviene. — I'm sorry you dont like my picture up above. You're all wrong about me, too. First impressions rule the mind, but sometimes our first snapshots are poor likenesses. Jackie Coogan had a birthday on October 26. He is playing in "Oliver Twist," which was taken in California. Wheeler Oakman is married to Priscilla Dean.
Thistle. — Your letter was most interesting. The only address we have of Ralph Kellard is Post Road, Rye, N. Y. Grace Davidson at Room 403, 1465 Broadway, N. Y. You must write to me again.
Thelma. — What's in a name? If it is a Russian name, I should answer — the alphabet. Lila Lee and Nita Naldi had the leads in "Blood and Sand." Valentino is five feet eleven and one-half inches, and he is twenty-seven. No, a negro can hear better than a white person.
Rose.— Milton Sills with Lasky Productions, 1520 Vine Street, Hollywood, Cal. He played with Florence Vidor in "Skin Deep." Harrison Ford with Famous Players. Yes, "Alice Adams" is played by Florence Vidor. You liked it better than "Gentle Julia"?
Sweet Patootie; Marjorie S.; Miss F. A.; A. C. ; Olive B. ; Question Box ; and Just Sixteen. — Had to answer you together, but your questions have all been answered up above.
Louise. — Occasionally a player with a good figure displays bad form. Valentino played in "The Big Little Person," "Delicious Little Devil," "Eyes of Youth" before he played in "The Four Horsemen." I cant say what made him popular all of a sudden. Rex Ingram, I suppose.
Peg. — Yes, we have lots of express trains in New York; in fact, everybody is in a hurry. I find that those who argue most are usually those who know least. Owen Moore in "A Dollar Down."
Dixie. — So you dont like beards. I'm sorry. If I took mine ofiF, I would catch my death of cold. You refer to Barbara Bedford. At one time India produced most of the diamonds, but now the Transvaal in South Africa produces more. That's where most of mine came from.
Chicago Lassie. — Thanks, you congratulate me. Generally the ' reason that we forget a thing is because we really never knew it. And now you are raving about Robert Frazer. He became very popular after "Fascination." He will appear in "Coronation," with Mae Murray.
Cherie. — Quien sahe? A sour disposition is a greater enemy to beauty and to happiness than is the small-pox. You like Colleen Moore. She is playing with Cullen Landis and June Elvidge in "Forsaking All Others." The first American express was opened between New York and Boston in 1821.
Kentucky Girl. — As Byron says, "The night shows stars and women in a better light " And you think Maurice Flynn is very good looking. I mean he is. Why, Dorothy Dix is a writer and not a player. She is a very interesting writer, and lives in New Orleans.
Fanchon. — No, I am not a married man. Never been married in my life. But someone told me that no man can either live piously or die righteous without a wife. Francis Carpenter is playing in a two-reel serial in which Dot Farley is playing the lead — "A Measly Interpretation." Dot has been in pictures ever since the old Imp days.
R. R. C. — Yes, eggs are a troublesome, but fowl produce. I eat them every morning. Viola Dana is playing in "Miss Emmy-Lou," with John Bowers and Allan Forrest. So you didn't care for "Beyond the Rocks." I didn't see it.
E. C. P.— Yes, and a drop of ink will make millions think, if wisely directed. Clyde Filmore is not playing now. I believe he has deserted

the screen. Oiwille Caldwell is playing opposite Katherine MacDonald in "The Lonely Road" and "The Scarlet Lily."
Olga Seventeen. — What's the idea, you calling me Pete? I may be Pete, but not Repeat. Yes, I always try to go to the first night performance of pictures. Saw "Trifling Women," and who do you suppose were present — Mabel and Hugo Ballin, Zena Keefe, Virginia Norden, Anita Stewart, Lillian Walker, Hope Hampton, Mary Carr, Rodolph Valentino, Richard Barthelmess, Kitty Gordon, David Warfield and Raymond Hitchcock. It was quite a gala affair. I didn't care so much for the picture.
Patty. — So you look like Bebe Daniels, and you want to get into pictures. You have my consent. If some men had to eat their own words, their health would be ruined forever.
George W. — Work has been my one great joy. Ha, ha! Yes, Eva Novak recently married William Richard Reed. Johnny Hines is doing a six-reel picture before doing any more comedies. Norma Talmadge is going to do "Within the Law." No record of Martin Griffith. ';Write me again.
Will S. — But remember that a woman's guess is generally more reliable than a man's certainty. That sure is ancient history. Alkalie Ike played in the old Essanay days. Clara Young is playing "Entre Madame."
Just Me. — So you stole time from the boss to write to me. You couldn't steal it for a better purpose. A guilty conscience needs no accuser — if you catch him at it. Betty Compson has brown hair and blue eyes.
Lena S. C. — Yes, and many an ugly old woman was an attractive girl ; many an attractive girl will be an ugly old woman. There is nothing I can do to help your friend get into pictures. Too many experienced players who are not working.
Ima Luna Tick.— Thrilled to the vertebra! You want to know if the chap, who was standing in front of the Royal Alexandra Theater in Toronto with the grey suit at 1 :20 last Friday, was Joseph Schildkraut. Precisely ! Your beloved William Farnum is playing in "Sacrifice." Yes, I remember seeing the "F'atal Wedding" in a stock company about sixty years ago, more or less.
Unsigned. — I cannot give you the addresses, because you left no address.
Movie Krazed. — What do I do with my beard when I go to bed, what did you suppose — I take it with me. Jack Mulhall is playing in "Broad Daylight," with Lois Wilson. You are indeed quite a genius. Learning is the dictionary, but sense the grammar of science. Poetry is inspiration — it was breathed into the soul when it was first quickened, and should neither be stilted art nor science, but genius.
Kathy. — Yes, J. Warren Kerrigan is coming back to the screen under the Lasky Banner in "The Covered Wagon." Kenneth Harlan was married to Flo Hart. He is playing in "The Beautiful and Damned." Earle Williams and Gertrude Astor in "You Never Know." No, one never does.
Nettie M. B. — I dont know who is responsible for "a good horse will not turn back to eat grass; and a good wife will not marry a second husband." Might have been Bernard Shaw. Gareth Hughes and Betty Compson in "Kick In." Phyllis Haver is going to do a five-reel comedy for Mack Sennet. Come in again, Nettie.
Anna from Savannah. — Yes, I have been to Charleston, S. C. You say it is the most finished city you have ever seen — people sit around with their arms folded, with nothing more to be done. Well, my child, the more you study this world and what there is in it, the more you will believe in miracles. Milton Sills, John Bowers and Marguerite de la Motte in "What a Wife Learned." I suppose the husband takes credit for teaching her.
Julia Marlowe Fan. — Yes, she is still a favorite of mine.
Virginia Valli Valli. — Cullen Landis and Madge Bellamy in "Ten Ton Love." Hope Hampton is doing "Lawful Larceny," from the stage play. Of course, I drink buttermilk in the winter time.
Helen M. — I do believe in reciprocity. Neither friendship nor love should accept what they cannot return. Betty Compson was born in Salt Lake City. She is not from Philadelphia. Irene Rich is playing in "Michael O'Halloran."
HoLLis H. — Wallace Reid's next picture is "Thirty Days," with Wanda Hawley. Ralph Graves and Edith Roberts in ''The Ghost Patrol." No, I dont mind long letters — I do read everything I get ; have pity. Olga Seventeen. — So you liked "The Storm" in pictures better than the stage play. I didn't. I liked the picture "Smilin' Thru" a great deal better than the stage play. You should see Griffith's "One Exciting Night," with Carol Dempster. Wcw ! What mystery.
