142 TEE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE Anxious, Boston. — See answer to "Daily Admiring Observer." J. B. S., Muskegee. — That scene was done in the studio, but many of the scenes were made in the actual locality. (2) Not that we know of. L. A., Portland. — Mrs. Mary Maurice. (2) No. (3) Miss Turner. (4) Identify by maker. (5) Arthur Johnson and Harry Myers. (6) Mr. Johnson was with Reliance for a time. A. W. Locke, Boston. — Visitors are not generally admitted to studios. (2) Helen Gardner. M. L. G., Alliance. — Miss Mabel Normand has left the Vitagraph company, and the Biograph Diving Girl looked very much like her, but since the Biograph players have no names we cannot, of course, say that it is Miss Normand, but we would hate to bet that it was any one but Miss Normand. Maude A. B., Chicago. — See answer to M. L. G. We believe that a professional posed for some of the scenes, but do not know that it was Myrma. T. H., and M. G. New York. — Identify film. Mr. Lanning is not an Indian — just plain American. E. P. L. — The player is Harry Morey. No relationship. D. E., Brooklyn. — We'll give you three guesses as to Mr. Delaney's nationality. (2) Mrs. Mary Maurice. R. F. C, McAlester. — See answer to M. L. G. M. B., Coshocton. — Mr. Costello is alive — very much so. The two persons you mention are distinct entities. J. D. B., Rochester. — We have no record of Anthony Wurtzer. If Mr. Wurtzer sees this, will he kindly identify himself for the benefit of the inquirer? M. K. H., Portsmouth. — Address the Lubin Manufacturing Company, Twentieth Street and Indiana Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa., in regard to the pictures. If you want to know the age of Arthur Johnson we are afraid that you'll have to ask him yourself. Such inquiries are not in our line. Ditto regarding the matrimonial inquiry. S. E. L., St. Louis. — Jean is the property of Lawrence Trimble, also of the Vitagraph. Mrs. C. W., New York City. — Arthur Johnson is with the Lubin company. We do not place the others. A. D. Buck, Los Angeles. — The best emotional actress in the films is . Fill in the blanks yourself. It is purely a matter of personal opinion. Miss M. M., Dallas. — Miss Turner is still active in the Vitagraph pictures. We do not concern ourselves with her matrimonial status. Miss G. K., Brooklyn. — In the Vitagraph's "Billy the Kid," Miss Edith Storey played Billy and Miss Swayne played the mother, not the Spanish servant. N. M. C, St. Charles. — The I. M. P. actress is Miss Mary Pickford. She has been killed by ushers and piano-players exactly 876,689,430 times, but she is still alive. Mrs. T. V. Q. — The Doctor in the Essanay "The Faithful Indian" is Arthur Mack ley. Mrs. F. P., Vallejo.— Eva Proutt was the Orphan in the Essanay "The Orphan's Plight." (2) She is not as old as she makes up tor. E. C, Bufealo.— Please be more definite in your questions. There were two men leaning against the tree in Melies "The Immortal Alamo." The one with his hand on the tree is William Clifford. The private leaning fully against the tree is Mr. Young. F. H. B., Baltimore. — The lead in Kalem's "The Fiddle's Requiem" is Keanan Buel. M. S. W., Washington. — Leo Delaney was the Chauffeur in "A Gasoline Engagement." M. S., Chicago. — Miss Marion Leonard played the lead in "The Price of Vanity." (2) The Reliance company advises us that they did not produce the Photoplay you mention. M. J., Newport News. — None of your inquiries can be answered. We do not meddle with the personal affairs of the photoplayers. Alice A., Brooklyn. — It is utterly useless to try for a position with a photoplay company without having had experience. Miss "Jack," Galveston. — We cannot identify foreign players. Write George Kleine, 52 State Street, Chicago. Identify second film by maker. G. R. S., Sep.astapool. — Mr. Costello is not officially dead and refuses to be murdered by rumor. (2) Experience on the stage or in picture is now required of photoplayers. M. O., Philadelphia. — The player is Arthur Johnson. He has played with the companies mentioned. (2) There are two Gaumonts, five Vitagraphs, four Lubins, two Biographs, and six Pathes released each week. We cannot account for the booking methods of the exchanges in your territory. Why not ask the manager of the theater you patronize? Polly S., Salem. — See answer elsewhere.
