146 TEE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE Esther R.. Akron. — Lillian Christy was the girl in "A Rose of Old Mexico." R.vley Chamberlin, William Russell and William Garwood were the three fellows in "Some Fools There Were." Glad you like the magazine. Everybody does, dont they? Bess, Albany. — Yes: Florence Barker formerly played with Powers. Dont know about her marriage, if there was one. That's her private business — not yours and ours. Ruth S. — Dorothy Phillips was the daughter in "The Burglarized BurglaT." Reine W. — Lillian Haywood was the widow in "A Hoyden's Awakening." Goldie Colwell was the daughter. You say we dont need talking pictures, because very often there are people sitting near you who know all about the pictures and are proud to inform all the people about them. Quite true; we have the same complaint. Theater •managers should get a supply of Maxim silencers. INIarie E. B. — We cant tell you who gets the most money among the playerr; — that's their business, and it is private. We know the personal ins and outs of some of the players, but we dont tell all we know. We have several of those proverbial little green birds who tell us things. And now why not ask what salary we are getting? H. J. Clifton. — Roger Lytton and E. K. Lincoln in "Tlie Final Justice." Geraldine M. F. — Irene Hunt was the girl in "A False Friend." and Marguerite Courtot was the girl in "The Fire-fighting Zouaves." Yes ; Hazel Neason was Pearl in "The Daughter's Sacrifice." Mr.. Shea, not Mr. Kent, the king in "Thomas a Becket." Pall Mall. — What! You think Leah Baird should join the Fat Woman's Club? Treason! She has joined King Baggot's company abroad. J. W. K. — James Cruze was Leonatus in "Cymbeline." We haven't that Reliance. Wouldn't care for that job, thanks. A. L. Rogers. — American produced that play. Send a stamped, addressed envelope. Emma Z. — You refer to Alice Hollister. Guy Coombs was the policeman. Melle. Robinne was the dancer. We haven't the countess. C. H., Columbia. — Bessie Learn was the girl, Richard Tucker was George in "Bread on the Waters" (Edison). James Cruze in "His Heroine.'* Cinderella. — Vitagraph releases six films every week and Edison five. The Vitagraph studio is on the Brighton Beach "El" line, at Fifteenth Street and Locust Avenue; Edison is at Bedford Park, Bronx, N. Y. City — the subway transfers you almost to the door. We doubt if you will succeed in gaining admittance to either. Visitors are not welcome, unless arranged in advance. R. C. D. — Perhaps you could get Muriel Ostriche's picture from Thanhouser. A Twin. — Louis Thomas was Jadi, Mr. Richmond was G. Copperthwaite, and Frank Bennett was Dick in "That College Life" (Vitagraph). JuANiTA M. — Eagle Eye is a real Indian. He is with Vitagraph. H. F. V. — Yes ; "A Glutted Market Makes Provisions Cheap." That's why Warren Kerrigan stays home wdth his mother. He knows there's no place like home. Your letter is touching. (A little slow music here, professor.) Mamcy Jane. — James Ashley was the count in "Fires of Conscience." Isabelle Lamon and Ernestine Morley in "The Supreme Sacrifice." Your German ist zehr goote. Mary Ellen. — Betty Gray and Roland Gane in that Pathe. We sure do want to hear from you. Yes, exterior scenes are often rehearsed in advance at the studios, for the reasons that the weather cannot always be depended on, aiid that a crowd of bystanders might collect and spoil the picture. The Hoosier Boy. — Henry King was Zeb in "Romance of the Ozarks." Dollie Larkin was the girl. Lubin's Western studio is at Los Angeles. Edgar Davenport was the brother in "The Artist's Sacrifice." A. L., Montreal. — Darwin Karr and Blanche Cornwall played leads in "Till the Day Breaks." We haven't the nurse. Jeanette, Cheyenne. — Maidel Turner and Robert Drouet are with Lubin. So you want us to tell you what "The Great White Way" is? Well, it is Broadway from Twenty-third Street to about Fiftieth, so called because of its numerous lights. It is almost like daylight, and it is busiest at night. It is a veritable fireworks display, with its Moving Pictures done in lighting effects, such as chariot races, a girl dancing, etc., by various advertisers. Some call it the "Great Blight Way," and while it is pleasant to see it once, once is enough for most good girls — it is alluring. Briton. — Satex films are made in Arizona. Edwin August is back with Universal. John Steppling has left Essanay and is now with Famous Players. Mac, Terre Haute. — Ethel Grandon was Beth in "The Law of the West." She has come East on account of her mother being ill. She will, no doubt, return to the pictures in the fall. Harold Lockwood in that Selig. Head too small for his long body? Nay. EviE. — Y'es, we are very sorry you are discouraged. Cheer up, these nice days. Hazel Neason in that Kalem. She will probably play no more. Married rich. Walter Miller was John in "Oil and Water." The General Film Company have branch offices all over the United States that supply the Licensed exhibitors with the films. Some theaters have first-run service, second, etc., according to what they want to pay. So it's Marc MacDermott, is it? He is admired more than he is loved. Ruth H., Conn. — Jessalyn Van Trump was the girl in "The Mountain Bird."
