We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
This department is for information of general interest, but questions pertaining to matrimony, relationship, photoplay writing, and technical matters will not be answered. Those who desire early answers by mail, or a list of the names and addresses of the film manufacturers, must enclose a stamped, addressed envelope. Address all inquiries to "Answer Department," writing only on one side of the paper, and use separate sheets for matters intended for other departments of this magazine. When inquiring about plays, give the name of the company, if possible. Each inquiry must contain the correct name and address of the inquirer, but these will not be printed. Those desiring immediate replies or information requiring research should enclose additional stamp or other small fee; otherwise all inquiries must await their turn.
Marie H. — Have never heard of a Frank Shade in Moving Pictures. The players you mention are with Universal. Your letter is not too long.
Children. — The editor says we should say "I" hereafter and not "we," so I have decided to become single again. Isn't it singular? Sounds as if we — beg pardon, I — had been divorced. In marriage one and one make one ; in divorce one from one leaves two ; but in this there was only one of us in the first place, and he is still here and here still. I have tried to figure how I can divide our salary among myself so as to get more, but it seems to come out just the same. It is dreadfully hard to get along on $4 a week when the cost of living is so high.
Helen L. R. — Haven't that Pathe cast. Yes, to your second. Frances Xe Moyer was Clara in "Minnie, the Widow." Dolly Larkin and Henry King in "The Legend of Lover's Leap" (Lubin). "The Signal of Distress" (Vitagraph) was taken at Nyack, N. Y.
C. H. T. — Both of the players you ask for had minor parts and were not on the cast. Sorry.
Evelyn. — Yes. I haven't those two Bisons. Sometimes they answer and sometimes not.
H. D.
K., New York. — Jack Standing was the widower in "Longing for a Mother" (Lubin). Edgena De Lespine had the lead in "The Good Within" (Reliance). Haven't the Child in "The Sea-dog" (Broncho).
Helen A. H., Brooklyn. — Mildred Weston and Dolores Cassinelli were the girls in "A Money." Lionel Barrymore was the doctor. Claire McDowell the wife, and C. H. Mailes the patient from the asylum in "The House of Darkness." Mr. Griffith is one of the fine Biograph directors, also Mr. Henderson.
Mae L. M.— "The Battle of Freedom" .(Kalem) was taken in California locations that faithfully duplicated the scenes in South Africa, where the actual battle took place.
D. F., San Antonio. — Thanks for the booklet. In "Eternal Sacrifice" (Reliance), Edgena De Lespine was Margaret, and Sue Balfour and Alan Hale the lovers. Margarita Fischer was the slave-girl, and Edna Maison was Mrs. Thornton in "In Days of Slavery" (Rex). Iva Shepard was Mammy Sue.
Laura, Fort Sill. — Romaine Fielding was the captain, and Robyn Adair was the lieutenant in "A Girl Spy in Mexico."
