Motion Picture Story Magazine (Feb-Jul 1912)

154 TEE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE Eagle, Reading. — You've the wrong title. There is no "Cupid in Chaos." In "Cupid the Conqueror," Miss Julia M. Taylor was the "Peach" and Miss Marguerite Snow in "The Tempter and Dan Cupid." Both are Thanhousers. Scenarios should be typewritten. We dont get that fourth question. Try again and be definite. "The man who acted with Florence Lawrence and Arthur Johnson before they reached Lubin" must have been a Biograph player, in which case we do not know whom you mean. M. B., Zanesville. — Miss Ormi Hawley was the girl in Lubin's "The House That Jack Built." Mr. Walthall has been back with Reliance since last summer. A. B. T. — Miss Marguerite Snow was the Thanhouser Tomboy. Misses Hazel Neason and Lillian Walker were the daughters in Vitagraph's "Their Charming Mamma." Miss Betty Harte was the girl in Selig's "The Little Widow." C. M. C, Montreal. — We do not know where Miss Fields is at present. Miss Mary Fuller was Nellie in "The Awakening of John Bond." Adele de. Garde is about ten years old. P. W., Taunton. — Miss Pickford was the girl in Majestic's "Love Heeds Not Showers." Charles Arthur was Briston in Lubin's "The Cure of John Douglas." L. R. — Francis Bushman was Richard in Selig's "A False Suspicion." Sydney Olcott as Shaun the Post, married Miss Gauntier in "Arrah-na-Pogue." Jack J. Clark was Henry in "The Fishermaid of Ballydavid." G. I. B., New York. — Leo Berger was Bob in Kalem's "Driving Home the Cows." The Lubin title belongs in 1910. Too old. K. D., Philadelphia. — "Arrah-na-Pogue" was made near Killarney, but we cannot state the castle. A. M., Baltimore. — William Russell was the Murdstone in Thanhouser's "David Copperfield." Charles Inslee was the drunken husband in Bison's "A Western Bride." The photograph cannot be had. For Edison photographs write to Orange, N. J. E. S., Brooklyn. — Leo Delaney had the part you ascribe to Mr. Taber. Peggy, Los Angeles. — Mr. Wilbur's picture has not yet been printed. Ask at your independent theater for Majesties. V. E. L., Chicago. — Miss Pearl White'sportrait was printed in the September magazine. (2) See advertisement for Vitagraph pictures. D. M. W., Winthrop. — Marc McDermott and Miss Avril had the leads in Edison's "Twin Towers." Miss Flora Finch was the first typist in Vitagraph's "The New Stenographer." Mrs. Swayne had the lead in the same company's "Tho Your Sins Be as Scarlet." Charles Ogle and Guy Coombs were father and son in Edison's "Captain Nell" (not "Salvation Nell"). Bill L., Portland. — Send stamped envelope for list of addresses of picturemakers. G. B. M., Providence. — Mr. Costello still appears in Vitagraph films. Ralph Ince was the thief in "In the Clutches of a Vapor Bath." The Kalem Company has no studio in Connecticut. They have several in California, one in Florida, one in New Orleans, one in the home office and a company at present in the Holy Land. We do not locate the locale of the Vitagraph story. D. K., York. — Write the Thanhouser Company, New Rochelle, N. Y., for photos. P. B., Baltimore. — Scenarios must be original productions and not taken from books or plays. In Kalem's "He Who Laughs Last," the principals are "Jim," Ed. Coxen ; "Jack," P. C. Hartigan ; "Molly," Marin Sais, and "Kitty," Ruth Roland. Miss Joyce and Mr. Blackwell both remain with the Kalem Company. "Are they married?" is a forbidden question, but it is court testimony that Miss Pickford is Mrs. Owen Moore. Mae Bell, Cambridgeport. — See reply elsewhere. No use making application. Brother and Sister. — Miss Turner has not played with Edison. Lubin pays from $25 to $50 for stories. The Indians fall on the ground when they fall from their horses. There are no mattresses, but they know how to fall so it wont hurt. Sydney Ayres lives in Los Angeles,-but he's not with Selig now. The other questions are trade secrets. Interested, San Francisco. — Miss Hazel Neason played opposite Mr. Costello in "Two Wolves and a Lamb." We have not yet had the interview. Other questions too personal. M. M., Chicago. — "Waiting" is a Pathe release. Mr. Walthall played the lover. R. G. W., Ridlonville. — You refer to Miss Mary Pickford. Her picture is not now available. D. B., San Francisco. — We do not "revise scenarios." We write stories from the scenario or other material. A scenario is merely the action without narrative or dialogue, and is divided into related scenes. Hazel and Pearl. — Crane Wilbur works only for Path6 Freres. Other questions answered before. Picture Fiend, Galveston.— See reply to A. W. C. G. P. C. has been used for European Pathe pictures only since October 30th,
