156 TEE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE
F. H. B., Baltimore. — In the Thanhouser "She," Miss Marguerite Snow was She; James Cruze, the Leo, as well as his Greek ancestor, and William C. Cowper, Horace Holly; Amenartes was Viola Alberta.
Inquisitive, Baltimore.— You saw an old Imp. Too many questions. Perhaps the company will reply if you query them.
Admirer, Wheeling. — Miss Fuller, the lead in Edison's "The Switchman's Tower," is experienced both in Photoplay and dramatic work. The other titles do not even hint at the proper captions. Few pictures are made in your State.
Bruce. — T. J. Carrigan was Prince Charming in the Selig "Cinderella." Mr. Headland was Jim in Pathe's "The Coward."
Admirer of the English Lord. — The Lord was Jack Standing. Romaine Fielding and Miss Frances Gibson had the leads in Lubin's "Western Chivalry."
R. A., Independence. — Tom Carrigan was Harry in Selig's "The New York Cowboy." Jack Standing was Harry in Lubin's "His Exoneration."
Jean, Lowell. — Romaine Fielding and Miss Mabel Wright had the leads in Lubin's "The Ranchman's Daughter." (2) Already given. (3) Guy Coombs.
A. L. W., Antigonish. — (2) Charles Ogle was the surgeon in "The Surgeon's Temptation." (3) Milano films are made in Milan, Italy.
C. L., Boston. — Richard Mel was Jim in Edison's "A Test of Friendship."
E. C, Waltham. — The Lubin Company gives Harry Myers and Arthur Johnson as the players in "The Life Saver." Seems pretty good authority to us.
K. E. T., New York. — The two men are Harry Myers and Albert McGovern, the former being in the foreground.
M. T., Saratoga Springs. — Bigelow Cooper was the lead in Edison's "The Cure of John Douglas." Mr. Anderson's nose is not false, nor does he build it up.
M. S., New York.— Yes, Mr. Santley is now playing in musical comedy. The Imp studio is in use. (3) Licensed films are more generally in demand.
G. K., Denver. — Francis Bushman had the lead in Essanay's "The Goodfellows' Christmas Eve."
V. C. and F. F. — Miss Fuller's pictures appeared in the May, July, October and February issues of the magazine. (2) Address the player in care of the Vitagraph.
R. J. C, Buffalo. — "Papa's Sweetheart" was an Edison; write them about Miss Gladys Hulette's picture.
A. B., New York. — You'll presently see Miss Storey in a lot of Westerns.
Mrs. H. W., San Antonio. — See elsewhere for the "She" cast. There is no such rock on the African coast. Miss Pickford does not always wear her hair in curls. She is under twenty, since she recently broke the Imp contract on the plea that she was a minor.
E. P., St. Louis. — We think it, was Helen Costello who played the part you mention. She is Maurice Costello's daughter.
F. M., New York. — You've marked G. M. Anderson's picture.
S. P. A., Dallas. — Miss Kathlyn Williams' picture appeared in the April and July issues.
L. and B. K. — You have marked Harry Myer's picture. (2) Dr. Clinton (not Derby), in Vitagraph's "Courage of-Sorts," was E. R. Phillips. (3) We fail to see that a player's religion is a matter of public interest.
Roirp. — A letter addressed Mr. Prior, care of the Majestic Company, 145 West Forty-fifth Street, New York City, will, reach him.
J. L. G., Baltimore. — Miss Pickford's pictures are not on sale. The Rex Company has Miss Leonard's.
W. H. M., Southold. — The Milano picture of the "Odyssey" of Homer should be on the market by the time this appears inprint. As we saw it it was in three reels.
W. C, Philadelphia.— Ask the Lubirr people, since they are close to you. Ask for Mrs. Rubinstein.
W. A. G., Marblehead.— The length of time it takes to make and release a picture varies. We have known scripts to be held for a year before being made, and we have seen stories that were, written, made and released all within a month or even three weeks. A picture takes from a day to a week to make unless an unusually heavy production.
L. E. A. — Miss Kathlyn Williams was the daughter in Selig's "Paid Back."
Vitagraph Admirer. — Kenneth Casey lives in Brooklyn. We printed his picture last May. We do not know where "The Little Spy" was made.
L. K., New York. — See elsewhere for the Kalem cast. We have nothing that suggests your Pathe title.
N. I. T., New Haven. — Miss Mary Fuller had the lead in Edison's "The Daisy Cowboys."
An Admirer, Dallas. — A letter, sent in care of the home office, will be forwarded.
E. D., Toledo. — The lady is a newcomer to the Vitagraph. Miss Turner was the sole player in Vitagraph's "Jealousy," Actionized in the magazine as "The Discarded Favorite."
