Something more than an ability to ride is required of a picture player Miss Turner has always been a Vitagrapher. Miss S. M., Eugene. — Plibtoplayers speak when they are playing to increase the illusion. Some merely mumble words, some speak sentences more or less germane to the subject and others just talk. It depends on the player and just how frisky he is feeling at the moment, tho now and then important speeches are so carefully enunciated that the audience may read the lips of the speaker. The old practice of "kidding the scene" has been abandoned in deference to the habitual lip readers. Miss M., Corry. — We did not publish "The Actress and the Singer." or "Her Child's Honor" in story form. (2) Miss Lawrence's portrait was in the March and August issues.
