Motion Picture Story Magazine (Aug-Dec 1913)

]r)2 THE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE I*EGGY S. — My child, to be frank, your writing is bad. It looks as if a crow had stepped into a bottle of ink and walked around on the paper — crow-tracks. We have no interpreter here. I haven't time to decipher hieroglyphics. Every person should be able to write, in (his country, altho, be it remembered, that out of twenty-six barons who signed the great Magna Charta, only three could write their own names. Bessie H. — Thomas Santschi was the man in "The God of Gold'' (Selig). William Duncan in "Billy's Birthday Present" (Selig). Many mistake Duncan for Santschi. Agnes. — E. H. Calvert was Maugh in "Love Thru a Lens" (Essanay). Edith Storey's picture will appear soon. LoRAiNE F.— Tom Moore in "When Fate Decrees" (Kalem). Stephen Purdee and Jessie Cummings. Dont ask about the man with the moustache and the girl witli the draped dress. Be more precise. I cant see every play. Marie. — Leah Baird was Beatrice in "Hearts of the First Empire" (Vitagraph). Clara Williams and Edgar Jones in "Love's Token" (Lubin). Clara Lambert in "TTie Power of the Cross" (Lubin).

Sophie N. — William West was the Indian chief, and Lucile Young was Carlyle Blackwell's sweetheart in "The Cheyenne Massacre" (Kalem). Irene Boyle was Zelna in "The River Pirates." Pretty girl, that. Mary S., Denver. — Vivian Rich and Wallace Reid in "Hearts and Horses." Elsie D. — Yes ; Vedah Bertram died a year ago this August. The verse is good. Susan. — No, I dont mind your calling me Thomas. Call me anything you like. Louis Thomas, Mr. Richmond and Frank Bennett were the college boys in "That College Life" (Vitagraph). E. Loveridge in "The Mission Money." Winnifred Greenwood in "A Freight-Train Drama" (Selig). E. C. S. — Harry Frazer in "Men WIio Dared" (Reliance). I dont get all the KayBee casts. Their machinery still needs oiling. Love Me. — Dear me, another love-sick maiden. I am sorry for you. but you must get it out of your system. There is no hope. This is not an Advice to the Lovelorn Department. It is too hot to read such warm letters as yours. Clarence. — Harry Northnip in "The Silver Cigaret-case" (Vitagraph). Earle Williams in "The White Slave" (Vitagraph). Emerald Cottage. — Yes, I have noticed how the players stop and point ahead, as if to say that they are going in that direction. Whom are they talking to? Is it necessary to explain where they are going, when we can see for ourselves? Janice, the First. — Not Mabel Normand, but Gertrude Bambrick. xVlbert McGovern is directing for Pathe Freres. M. E. L. C, Dallas. — Mae Hotely was Roxanne in "His First Experience." The Twins. — William Bailey was Davis, and Dorothy Phillips the Indian girl in "Into the North" (Essanay).

Communicate with our Photoplay Clearing House. A chat with James Cruze soon. Richard P. — We can print no pictures of Olga or Flossie in the magazine. Tut, tut ! Ashley V.
