152 'THE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE Gerty. — We haven't the name of the public school Ormi Hawley graduated from, if any at all. Write to her direct for such information. She may, then again she mayn't. E. O., San Francisco. — Marguerite Snow was May, and the Thanhouser Kidlet was the child in "The Repeater" (Thanhouser). G, M. P., Arlington. — Owen Moore was the artist in "Angel of the Studio." Edna Payne was the girl in "Gentleman Joe" (Lubin). Blanche B. B. — Wallace Reid was the strong man in "Kaintuck" (Reliance). Fluffy. — Darwin Karr was Dr. Kenyon in "Hearts Unknown" (Solax). G. E. T. — Warren Kerrigan and Pauline Bush had the leads in "God's Unfortunate."

P. — You refer to Bryant Washburn in the Essanay pictures. L. C. P., Ottawa. — Arthur Mackley was the sheriff you refer to. Charles Clary and Kathlyn Williams in "The Strongest Mind" (Selig). And that was Ruth Roland in the three plays you name. Bijou, Baltimore. — We strongly advise you to leave out the vaudeville. Experience proves that pictures alone will fill your theater, provided you get good pictures and run your show well. It's all a question of management. A good show will pay if it is in the woods. A bad show wont pay, if it is on Broadway, in the center of traffic. Blanche M. H. — Miss Ray was the mother, and Paul Panzer the cowboy in "The Cowboy and the Baby." L. M. N., Wilkes-Barre. — Edgar Jones was the minister in the first question, but the second minister is a Biograph. We did not get the picture you enclosed. L. H., Montgomery. — Gwendoline Pates was Miss Wayne in "The Reporter." Movie Patricia. — Powers is in Los Angeles. Gem Theater. — Dont know how many there will be in the Alkali Ike series ; he is one of Essanay's famous characters. I. D. M., Mt. Holly. — Harry Myers' picture was in May and September, 1911. A. L., Browning. — We dont mind telling you that we are getting good and mad. If people persist in calling us names and in writing foolish questions, they mustn't be surprised if we flare up once in a while. We haven't room enough now to answer long questions, so please dont ruffle our feathers, because it takes too much space here to curl them. H. L. S., Sandwich. — Julia Mackley was the sick girl in "Broncho Billy and the Bandits." Jerry Hevener was the Lubin man. Adele De Garde is the girl in "The Old Kent Road." Teacher, Omaha. — Yes, G. M. Anderson. We dont agree with you about Simplified Spelling. You seem to think that spelling, alone of all human inventions, after so many changes, is now to be kept forever exempt from change. Customs, laws, religions, arts, sciences, morals, ideas, words and everything else are subject to the immutable law of change; and, if anything in the world needs changing, it is our spelling. If you are offended when you see an unaccustomed spelling, it is a mere emotion. Shake it off, and be reasonable. Economy requires that we reject useless letters, because the teaching, learning, writing and printing of useless letters costs untold money and time. Dix. — Why, that's a good name. Crane Wilbur was the butler. Hal Wilson was the editor in "A Leap Year Proposal" (Vitagraph). Jack Richardson was the thief and Warren Kerrigan the cowboy leader in "The Thief's Wife" (American).
