Motion Picture Story Magazine (Feb-Jul 1913)

142 THE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE H. F. M., Ohio. — Gertrude Robinson was the wife in "The Man Who Dared." Buck D. V. — Watch out for the "Great Mystery Play" ; you'll hear of it soon. Biograph releases three pictures a week. Joseph W. H., Chicago. — Harry Myers was the artist in "Art and Honor." Mildred Bracken was the girl in "The Kiss of Salvation." Mabel Normand you refer to. Fred Mace has left Keystone. G. M. B. — You may ask those Biograph questions now, if they aren't too old. "Frau." — We interviewed Guy Coombs in January, 1913. Mrs. Todd was the girl in "Alkali Ike's Motor-Cycle." William Meek was the wild man in "A Wild Man for a Day" (Lubin). Tom Powers did not play in "The Mouse and the Lion" (Vitagraph). Essanay do not publish a monthly publication. Will see about another interview with Carlyle Blackwell. Thanks very much. H. M., Rocky Mount. — We dont know whether Warren Kerrigan can sing. We dont see it on the cards, and never heard him, but we have often listened. Why not see his chat in last month's magazine? He was Jim Gleason in "The Law of God." Edgar Jones has been with Lubin about a year. Thanks for the fee. Kitty B., 16. — Yes; Guy Coombs was Congressman Gordon in "Detective Burns in the Exposure of the Land Swindlers." The picture was of Thomas, and not Owen Moore. Thank you. Lottie, Goldfield. — Herbert Barry was Jan, and Ned Finley was Clarry in "The Strength of Men" (Vitagraph). Courtenay Foote was Karma, and Rosemary Theby was the snake in "The Reincarnation of Karma." Much obliged for the sum. A Newone. — Warner Features and Monopol are not Licensed. Why not get one of our lists. Vitagraph have a company in Santa Monica, one that is traveling around the world, and several branches in Brooklyn. Hazel Neason was the widow in "The Answered Prayer." Thomas Allen was the fugitive. We have you beaten ; we get three first runs and three commercials. We would rather have that than the two songs you get. The enclosure was much appreciated. D. *M. R., Galveston. — Several want the magazine to come out twice a month. Thanks for your kind words and also the coin. Hope to hear from you again. M. B., Saratoga S. — Your poem for King Baggot received. Perhaps it will be published, but we cant be too sure. M. C. A., Buffalo. — Perhaps your theater has discontinued using Independent service and is now using Licensed ; in that event you wont see Owen any Moore, nor Warren Kerrigan. Francis Bushman was never with Solax. Sorry we cant print your letter; very interesting. Thanks. Nell C. O. — Will tell the editor you want a chat with Harry Myers, to find out what color his hair, his eyes, his teeth and his fingernails are, and possibly a few more things. Thank you very much. E. D. Eveline. — Irene Boyle was Ruth in "The Face at the Window." 'Most all the popular players have had stage experience. So you admire Olga ; yes, she is in love with Crane Wilbur and Carlyle Blackwell, and cant seem to help it. Oh, yes, that includes the seven "What Happened to Mary" series that have been done. E. M. Miss, Brooklyn. — Clara Williams was the lead in "The Daughter of the Sheriff." Bessie Sankey and G. M. Anderson had the leads in "Broncho Billy's Last Deed" (Essanay). Winnifred Greenwood was the girl in "The Lesson." H. W. E. B. — Glad to see you using the Simplified Spelling; much nicer than the old-fashioned kind. Kinemacolor are Independent. Here are the Licensed companies: Vitagraph, Biograph, Kalem, Essanay, Edison, Pathe Freres, Cines, Eclipse, Selig, Melies and Lubin. Paula. — We haven't been able to get that information as yet ; look for it soon. K. S. — Florence Lawrence is not posing; she appeared in one scene of a Kinemacolor. Cutey is Wally Van. You must not ask about brothers, or even husbands. Jack and May. — Louise Lester played the parts you name. We dont give private addresses of the players. Oh, yes ; Imp is still producing. Louise Mc. — You mean Lillian Walker, not Jane. She is still with Vitagraph. Octavia Handworth plays opposite Crane Wilbur often. Sophie N. — Kempton Green was Winter Green, and Isabelle Lamon was Mrs. Green in "What's in a Name?" Lady Lucia. — Helen Gardner is playing in her own company, but some of her old Vitagraphs are still on the market, and occasionally a new-old one, like "The Vampire of the Desert." The player you describe is Harold Lockwood. Billy Baker. — Hazel Neason was Angelina in "The Nurse at Mulberry Bend" (Kalem). Tom Moore was Doctor Leslie. Yes; Hazel Neason has played for Vitagraph.
