L. N., A. G., G. D. Norfolk, R. H., R. Lincoln, R. K. Denver. — Your questions have either been answered before, or are not in compliance with the rules of this department. G. R. H., Bayfield, Wis. — Joseph De Grasse and Miss Mason were husband and wife in "A Redman's Friendship'' (Pathe). Just address the "Answers Man," care of The Motion Picture Story Magazine, 26 Court Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. G. K., Brooklyn; — We do not use Selig pictures. Ray Gallagher was Dick in "The Cowboy Kid" (Mclies). Sallie K. W. — William Barley's picture has never appeared in this magazine. William Clifford is with Nestor. Marjorie M., Montreal. — Please dont ask us how you can get in the pictures. There's no hope. Rosemary Theby is not with Selig, but Vitagraph. The letters that are written in the pictures are usually photographed and filmed after the whole play has been taken, as are the subtitles. Gilbert Anderson's permanent leading lady has not been announced as yet. Elsie, Washington. — The girl in "The Arizona Woman" is now unknown to Essanay. Alice Joyce has not left Kalem. Gwendolyn, III. — We cannot answer Bison questions, because no information about their players could be had during the recent lawsuit. Jack Richardson is always the villain in the American, and a good one — or, should we say a bad one? The American Company inform us that there is no Richard Kerrigan with their company. "A-B" stands for American Biograph. I. M. Inquisitive.— Master Paul Kelly was only a special in the Vitagraph. Bobby P. B., Baltimore. — "Mammoth Life Savers" was taken at Coney Island by the Vitagraph Company. John Steppling has returned to the Essanay. Jim A. & Bert A. — Frederick Church is the curly-haired man in the Western Essanay. G. M. Anderson takes all kinds of parts. Vedah Bertram was the girl in "Broncho Billy's Narrow Escape." The girl in "A Wife of the Hills" is Unknown. It was a real fire in "Fire at Sea" (Path§). But when we say a real fire, we do not necessarily mean that the whole ship or building burned down. Most manufacturers do not care to explain how trick pictures are done, or whether they are trick pictures or not. Newton Smiley was Raven, and Hazel Neason was the girl in "The Lair of the Wolf" (Kalem). L. V. D. Holden. — Julia Mackley and Edna Fisher were the mother and sweetheart in "The Sheepman's Escape" (Essanay). Edith. — Bertha Blanchard was the wealthy lady in Thanhouser's "That's Happiness." William Garwood was the son. F. Foster was David in the first reel, and Edward Genung was David in the third reel in "David Copperfield" (Thanhouser). A. C. Sterling. — William Garwood was John Henderson in "A Six Cylinder Elopement" (Thanhouser). No. 666, St. Louis. — Burt King was the detective, Adele Lane the sister, and Romaine Fielding the brother in "Detective's Conscience." Frank Tobin and Kathlyn Williams were the leads in "The House of His Master." In "The Reporter Girl's Big Scoop," Natalie Carlton was the heiress, and Stuart Holmes the count. Ormi Hawley had the lead in "Betty and the Roses." You mean Frederick Church in "Alkali Ike Plays the Devil." Mrs. Wm. Todd was the girl. Francis Bushman had the lead in "White Roses." Florence La Badie was Undine in Thanhouser's "Undine." Marguerite Snow was Berthalda. Anna Nilsson and Hal Clements had the leads in "The Grit of the Girl Telegrapher'^ (Kalem). "Dighy Reader," Dighy. — Leo Delaney was Nello in "The Answer of the Roses." Nuncy, New Orleans. — You will have to learn that the players change from one company to another for various reasons, and that is why you see Biograph players with Imp. Louise Glaum was Mabel Jones in "Those Love-Sick Cowboys" (Nestor). F. Willard, Cambridge. — Harry Wulze played Shorty in "Kentucky Girl" (Kalem). Edna Payne the daughter in "Moonshiner's Daughter" (Lubin). , Interested. — Joseph Gebhart was Bull Moose in "The Penalty Paid" (Path6).

Edythe Lyle was the wife in "The District Attorney's Conscience" (Reliance). Frances Ne Moyer and Roy McKee had the leads in "The Lover's Signal." Roswell ' Johnson was Buster in "When Buster Went to Dreamland." Mrs. B. F. Clinton was Earle Williams' mother in "One Touch of Nature Makes the Whole World Kin." The name Vitagraph was very appropriately thought of and aptly applied: Vita (Life), Grapho (To write) equals Life Writings. Use any kind of paper when sending in your questions. R. R. P., Conn. — Nothing doing with the Bison question. They are either too busy with the lawyers, or else they are copying Biograph. F. M. G., Chicago.— Lottie Briscoe had the lead in "The Spoiled Child."
