148 TEE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE A. D., WooN. — We know of no Edwin Dudley. Do you mean Robert Brower? ViOLETTE E. L. — You think it is like eating stolen fruit to ask Biograph questions. Not at all ; go as far as you like. Mae Marsh was the girl. Patsy. — We cannot obtain the player opposite Anna Stewart in "Love Laughs at Locksmiths" ( Vitagraph ) . Fran. — Sir Gilbert Parker wrote "The Priest and the Man." Yes ; Leonie Flugrath in "A Youthful Knight." Say an revoir, but not good-by. (More slow music, please.) Olga, 17. — Didn't you hear us say that this is no matrimonial bureau? We did not name our price for every match we made, but we charge extra for parlor matches. Y^ou shouldn't take it so sadly. Nay. we do not try to be funny : simply tiy to mix short follies with wise counsel. Aren't you glad Crane is still with Pathe? Now let's get down to business. Mr. Costello is back. F. X. Bushman will remain with Essanay. Margherette. — You may address your letter care of Lubin, and they will forward it to Romaine Fielding. Some of the players have their ov^^n houses, and others live at hotels for change and rest, but the waiters usually get all the change, and the proprietors get the rest. Players usually dont want their private addresses known. Bath Beach. — Mary Smith was Mrs. Manning in "The Lost Note." Olivia. — The picture is of Richard Stanton and Hazel Buckham. M. P. F. — Charles Bartlett was Jack, Virginia Chester was Alice, and Roy Watson was Pedro in "The Four-legged Hero." Babe Sul. — Marguerite Snow had the lead in "The Idol of the Hour." Gene Pallette was Manuel in "The Transgression of Manuel." Lillian Christy in "Where Destiny Guides." What! dont like foreign and war stories? Many do. E. B G., Allenhurst. — No ; G. M. Anderson never played for Edison. You'll win. Joy, 450. — Mrs. George NichoUs was Assina in "The Woman of the Desert." Helen K., Long Island. — The picture you enclose is of our editor, and not the Answer Man. Your letter is interesting. Teddy, Montreal. — Harry Myers and Ethel Clayton in "Heroes. One and All." Rose R. R. — Marshall Neilan in "Tlae Sheriff of Stone Gulch." Dixie Compton and Isabelle Rea in "The Blind Composer's Dilemma." Florence M. B. — Harry Millarde was the lieutenant in "The Fire-fighting Zouaves." Hist! (stage whisper, sotto voce). Dont breathe it to a soul, but Marguerite Snow is married, and the happy and lucky victim is James Cruze. Fern S. — The picture is of Alice Joyce. Francis X. Bushman is back with Essanay. "Patheplay" is just a new name. Chet. — Why, May Hotely is playing at Atlantic City under the direction of Arthur Hotaling. She is doing comedy, mostly. They say she is just as good in drama, but she is not given opportunity. Yes, a fine figure and pleasing personality when she isn't doing "character." Look sharp on page 125, and you might spy her picture. Naomi, of St. Louis. — Alice Hollister was the girl in "The War Siren." Your letter is dandy. You ought to start a magazine of your own. Ibetcha. — We cannot tell the age of players. Danny, the "Cowboy Kid."' is not playing with Melies now. Cant locate him. Melies' American Co. is disbanded. Phcebe Snow. — Arthur Johnson was chatted in February, 1912. Thanks. E. C. H.. Brooklyn. — Yes; J. L. B. tells us that Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" has been done. Clara, IT. — That was Edward Coxen in "The Lesson'' (American). Doris, 18, Chicago. — John Charles was the rival in "The Lie." George Melford was Joe in "The Buckskin Coat" (Kalem). Now, now! We are not the official censor of films. Nor are we the official critic of players. You and others seem to think we are. We are nothing but a machine. We read -and answer, that's all. We seldom express opinions. We tiT to be neutral. We are more a score-keeper than an umpire. Mrs. J. P. S. — Victor is slow at answering us. Sorry. No, dont ostracise them because they wont give information. Wait till they refuse. L. C. G. — OiTui Hawley was the 'girl in "The Soul of a Rose." We haven't that Kay-Bee yet. Some of the companies have that tired feeling ; others cant ', some wont. W. J. K. — The maid in "In Another's Nest" was an extra, and her name cannot be obtained. Perhaps the girl was Gertrude Robinson. Florence M. B. — But you should not write your change of address on an inquiry letter. Read the head-note of this department. Donald MacKenzie was the fellow in "A Happy Family" (Patheplay). Marion Swayne and Blanche Cornwall were the girls in "Her Past Forgiven" (Solax). The Tennis Girl. — William Humphrey is still with Vitagraph. Dolores Cassinelli and E. H. Calvert were Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt. Naomi G., Saratoga. — Earle Williams was chatted in June. 191S.
