All inquiries should contain the name and address of the writer, and, if it is desired that a fictitious name be used in answering, it should be written in the upper left-hand corner of the letter Alota Asks. — Come on and ask, I feel like answering questions today. Harold Lloyd is thirty-one, and his last picture is "Girl Shy." Enid Bennett in "The Sea Hawk." The song, "I Love You," is from the musical comedy, "Little Jessie James," which is to be filmed with the original cast of the stage play. Patched. — No, I dont mind this weather at all. Another week or so and I'll be out in my bathing suit. Clara Horton was born in Brooklyn, June, 1904. She has brown hair. William Desmond is playing in "Heart of the Night Wind." I can see you are rooting for John Bowers. Write me again sometime. Jackve Deame. — Dont believe all you hear. Years ago the ushers used to tell wild tales about the players, now the public imagines them. There is no truth in the rumor that Gloria Swanson is dead. I saw her only the other night, at a dinner. Yes, Ben Turpin is actually cross-eyed. Well, the hero's wife and the celebrity's husband are really to be envied. Jackie B. — Right now Ivor Novello is in England. Write Richard Barthelmess at Rye, N. Y. Charles Ray's first picture under his new contract with Ince will be "Smith," directed by Ralph Ince. Gertrude E. — But the greatest test of feminine beauty is a sea voyage. I know, I have just seen twenty-three days of it. If you will send your letters to the players direct to me, I will readdress them to the proper addresses. I cant very well ask them to send you pictures. Harold Lloyd in "Why Worry" and "Girl Shy" and Buster Keaton in "Sherlock Holmes, Jr." You bet I was glad to hear from you. Okla. — I haven't bobbed my whiskers as yet. I've been thinking seriously of the boyish bob. Cherio, old top, but you will never get a picture of me. Of course, Mary Pickford's curls are blonde. Marion Nixon has the lead with Tom Mix in "The Last of the Duanes." Muriel B. — I know how you feel, Muriel, but about the best way to retain your ideal of a lover is to let him become another woman's husband. Yes, Bebe Daniels has the lead, and Doris Kenyon and Lois Wilson have prominent parts in "jMonsieur Beaucaire." Glad you liked "The Humming Bird." Richard Barthelmess was with Marguerite Clarke in "The Seven Swans." Thomas Meighan in "Missing." So long, Muriel. Bob. — You know there are people who are almost in love, almost famous and almost happy. I've been almost in love so many times that I have given it up for automobiling. Address Marion Davies at Cosmopolitan Studios, 2478 Second Avenue, New York City. Elsa. — What del get — to settle the argument, John Barrymore plaj^ed in "Here Comes the Bride." I see, I win, but I dont get anything, is that it? Charles N. — No, I certainly dont agree with you when you say women are too imaginative and sensitive to have much lo^ic. Some of them have much more logic than men have. Charles Jones is playing right along and his next will be "The Circus Rider." He is twenty-eight, born in Vincennes, Indiana, five feet eleven and three quarters, and weighs 173 pounds, married, of course. Address him at the Fox Studio, 1401 Western Avenue, Los Angeles, California. Rebecca. — Forty love ! You have the advantage. I never contradict a lady. So Lloyd Hughes is your favorite. Playing in "The Sea Hawk." Born in Bisbee, Arizona, 1899, and married to Gloria Hope. Lucille Ricksen and John Harron have the leads in Universal's "Souls That Pass in the Night." Now if we were speaking of soles? There's the rub-ber. Creighton Hale and Ethel Shannon are playing in "Riders Up," formerly named "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." LoRETTA R. — Gaston Glass was born in Paris, France, and he is not married. Most of the players have secretaries. Good-Looking. — Well, there is nothing like being satisfied with oneself. I'm well, thank you ! Laura LaPlante and Ruth Clifford have the female leads in "Butterfly" with Norman Kerry and Kenneth Harlan. Pell. — Hello there. By the way, did you see the Circus? I did. Went with a couple of kiddies, and had a great time. Never ate so many peanuts in my life. I liked "Rosita" too. Always enjoy your letters, they're so nice and newsy. Dear Kitty. — Kitty, I dont understand why you keep sending your letters to our Mr. Hopfmuller, the artist. He shines with the ladies, still he doesn't get as many letters as I do. Milton Sills is married to Gladys Wynn. Lon Chaney is surely very popular. Lottie D. T. — Well, well, well, one of my old correspondents of twelve years ago. You must be a big girl now, Lottie. I dont know what happened to Monroe Salisbury, he isn't playing now. Yes, Mary Astor surely is beautiful. You know that William Russell is engaged to Helen Ferguson. Zena Y. — Faneuil Hall was built in Boston in 1742 and was called the "Cradle of Liberty" because it was there that the Revolutionary patriots were wont to assemble. The reason we dont say much about Nazimova is that she is not playing in pictures now. Last I heard of her she was in vaudeville. We had an interview with her in the January, 1922, issue. Regina R. — Watch your calories, Rcgina, and the best book I know on the subject is by Dr. Lulu Hunt Peters. Then you want to get a few reducing records, take plenty of outdoor exercise, give up eating and I'll guarantee you'll be sylph-like in no time. George Eliot says "Men who paint sylphs, fall in love with some bonne ct brave femme, heavy-heeled and freckled." No, we have never had an interview with Reginald Denny. Advice I. D. — Viola Dana is playing in "The Beauty Prize." No, I never did try to swim in a pool-room. That'll do there ! Yes, Kosloff is the leader in that line. Unless you called at the studios personally I dont. think there would be much chance. Mr. and Mrs. Pat O'Malley and Mr. and Mrs. Earle Williams welcomed the stork recently. Both were daughters. The Answer Man sends greetings ! IsADORE M. K. — Yes, John Bowers is playing in "The Range Boss," his first picture for Vitagraph, opposite Alice Calhoun. He was born in Indiana. Pauline Frederick and Lew Cody will play for Warner Brothers in a picture directed by Ernst Lubitsch. J. A. Manila. — I'm sorry, but I haven't a list of all the screen stars, and dont know where such a list may be obtained. Montague Love, Maurice Costello, Mary Thurman and Helene Chadwick in "Love of Women." Emil. — Thanks very much. You say Farina in the "Our Gang" comedies is Allan Clayton Hoskins. OscARiTA. — Yes and the women who have the most sympathy for the sorrows of the world at large often have the least for their own families. You know that Pearl White is abroad right now. Ramon Novarro is five feet ten. Violet Mersereau in "Lend Me Your Husband." That's an awful request to make. Some girls dont bother asking. Renee Adoree and Lew Cody in "Defying the Law." Thanks, I never felt better. For an old man of some eighty years I manage to keep going, especially in New York City. Ruth M. — You know that I love buttermilk. I have it all the time in the hot weather. Well there is Nita Naldi, Katherine MacDonald, Irene Castle and Anita Stewart who are five feet seven or more. That is pretty tall for the screen. Mae Busch, Pat O'AIalley, Robert Frazer,
