Business. — Every man stamps his value on himself. The price we challenge for ourselves is given us. Man is great or little by his own will. Pearl White is making a picture in Paris, and I believe Theda Bara expects to start in soon again. Yes, Antonio Moreno is married to Mrs. Daizy Canfield Danziger. Bubs, Toronto. — Rod La Rocque was born in Chicago, and educated in Nebraska. He played in stock and in vaudeville, also on the stage. He is six feet, weighs 175 pounds and has dark hair and eyes and is playing in "The Ten Commandments." Cant you give me the name of the character in that picture? You see I dont know who the artist was. You certainly are invited to come again. Emteebee. — I see where you get your name now. No, we dont use that article any more. I should say you are about twenty-five. You want to see Norma Talmadge sans beauty, sans gowns, just herself in a real tragedy: Why a tragedy ? Mrs. Lydig Hoyt has gone to California to play in Laurette Taylor's "Happiness." N..\TUR.AL Blonde. — I hope so. Yes, that was Sessue Hayakawa and Eileen Percy. Blanche Sweet and Malcolm McGregor in "The Human Mill." Betty. — No, I have no steady physician. Happy are physicians, their successes shine in the sunlight, and the earth covers their failures.

Pandora writes us : San Francisco, California, October ii, 19^3Monsieur le Answer Man, Motion Picture .Magazine, 175 Uuffield St., Brooklyn, N. Y. O.MNisciENT One: I do obeisance before thee. On the stones at thy feet I bow my most worshipful head, and bump my forehead thusly — thump! thump! Of all the gods dear to my heart thou, Most High, art the best beloved. I drink at the fount of thy wisdom as one athirst for knowledge. From thee I learn. I marvel at thy divine humor and tremble at thy wrath when besieged by driveling phools and phatuous phishes. There is naught which thou dost not know, for thou communest with the Stars. Of thy unnumbered votaries I am thy most devoted follower, and beg thee to accept this small oblation from thine humble handmaiden. These many months that I have done thee homa-e I have never ventured to address thee, but at last thou hast intrigued my curiosity. Prostrate before thee. Lord, I speak. Thou hast said to one, "Maud W.," these words: "I am quite happy, thank you, but I am deprived of the greatest pleasure that life has for the human soul." Ah — there thou openest the door to thine most inner sanctuary, and thru it have I glimpsed the still, white cloisters where dwell thy dreams. What is it that thy spirit longest for. my Lord? Has life been miserly with thee? Then, truly I am sorry, for I too have known hunger of the soul. Sometimes it is illusion that we crave; sometimes we starve for love or understan<ling, or the touch of children's hands. I <lo not know what joy hath been denied thee, liut because thou givest of thyself to feed the insati.able inquisitiveness of the many. I do ask for thee that the Higher Gods may fill whatever void there be. Thou hast given pleasure in unstinting measure — I pray that it return to thee, as come the soft-eyed doves to rest upon the minaret at nightfall. Blessings on thy venerable beard. Selah! P.VNDORA.
