Motion Picture Story Magazine (Aug 1911-Jan 1912)

144 THE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE Miss M. R., San Francisco. — There is no relationship between the three players you mention. To your first question — No. D. R. H. G., Pottstown. — The lady is understood to be enjoying a vacation in Europe at present. O. B., Galveston. — Miss Storey will remain with the Vitagraph. The studio is at East Fifteenth street and Locust avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. S. Y. L. — Mr. Anderson was formerly a dramatic player of prominence. There is no record of his having "punched cows." The "leading actress in Motion Pictures" is a matter of personal opinion. Certainly the lady you mention is among the foremost. Essanay films are manufactured in Chicago. The negatives are made there or along the Pacific coast, according to their character. Most Western pictures are made in the West, but some few are made on the Atlantic coast. It is not always easy to tell which is which. Be more specific in asking as to personalities. Edna May Wieck is the Edison child, if you mean the very little one. Gladys Hulette, who recently was in "The Blue Bird," plays the older girls. No. R. B. A., Montgomery, Ala. — We do not answer questions as to the matrimonial or other private affairs of the players. This disposes of most of your questions. Miss Turner and Mr. Costello occasionally play opposite parts, but since the companies produce four reels weekly, it is more usual that they head separate casts. The wind is not "always blowing in the pictures, even when they are indoors." You cannot believe all you see in the newspapers, and this item has been going the rounds for more than a year. E. D., Brooklyn. — Almost any Photoplay theater presenting licensed pictures uses Vitagraph subjects. If yours does not, it is the exception, and for the answer we must refer you to the manager. Miss Turner has been working steadily, tho for a time she had to let up a little in her work. Mr. Costello has been "on the job" right along. F. S., Bradford. — See note regarding Biograph players. "Busyboby," Ashland. — We do not know what Mr. Costello's wife's name was before she was married, and we do not care to ask him. We do not answer such questions. "Jean" is the property of Lawrence Trimble, who generally plays in the cast. You probably have reference to King Baggot, not Mr. King. Again, we are silent on the marriage tie. What does it matter, so long as he is a good actor? "A Reader," San Francisco. — You probably mean Miss Florence Lawrence, now with the Lubin company. Her photograph has appeared. Thanks for the suggestion. We already have that scheme in hand, but appreciate your interest. A Motion Picture Story Magazine that goes from here to San Francisco, and then to the North of England, certainly does some traveling. Mrs. A. W. C, Indianapolis. — We are not interested in scenarios until they have been filmed by some company. Submit your manuscript to some manufacturer. "Reader," Detroit. — A thousand feet runs eighteen to twenty minutes, according to the subject. The positive print is the one you see on the screen. The negative is the one from which the positive is made, as in plate photography. Miss B. E. B., San Francisco. — Matrimonial information is not given. Address him, in care of the company, East Fifteenth street and Locust avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. Generally in appropriate rural settings. Water scenes are taken the same as other landscapes. Usually there is a man who travels around marking down picturesque localities. F. J., Flagstaff. — Answered elsewhere in this department. "Information," San Jose. — Pathe, 41 West Twenty-fifth street; Melies, 204 East Thirty -eighth street; Biograph, 11 East Fourteenth street; Kalem, 235 West Twentythird street, all in New York ; Vitagraph, East Fifteenth street and Locust avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. ; Lubin, Twentieth street and Indiana avenue, Philadelphia, and Essanay, 521, First National Bank Building, Chicago. Mrs. B. Y., Philadelphia ; B. M. U., Troy ; J. K. K., Logansport ; B. M. W., Washington ; S. S. P., Chicago, and Others. — Only questions of general interest are answered in the Question Box. "Jean," Montgomery. — Leo. Delaney took the part. He is no relative to Mr. Costello. Matrimonial information withheld. "Subscriber," Los Angeles. — Mr. Costello has not left the Vitagraph. B — , Htllsboro. — Miss Turner is still with the Vitagraph. You cant believe all the piano player thinks he knows. "Louisianna". — We do not supply matrimonial information. L. H. L., Brooklyn. — No, in answer to both questions. Florenz, New York. — We do not know whether Harry Myers is married and has a son or not. The question is out of order. Inez. — Mr. McGovern of the Lubin company is still in the land of the living. See answer to Florenz. M. E. L., Des Moines. — Mary Fuller is still with the Edison company.
