Marion Emmon played the part of the little boy in "The Switch Tower" (Biograph). Mrs. Benham told me personally that her daughter resembled the "Thanhouser Kidlet," so how can she be the Kidlet? Babe S. — Robert Frazer was Sam in "When Light Came" (Eclair). Edwin Carewe was Bruce in "Her Husband's Picture" (Lubin). Conceited? Ah, no, dont say that; for Macaulay says that conceit is the art of making much show with little substance. Conceit may puff a man up, but never prop him up.

Ellaye Phan. — Well, Fred Mace appears to be with Majestic now. No information on that Imp. Yes, Romaine Fielding is versatile, but I would not like to say that he is the most versatile of all players. You people are always trying to get me into trouble. We all have favorites, but all of us wont tell. Edna M. — Belle Bennett was the daughter in "The Little Peacemaker" (Nestor). Watch out for Kathlyn Williams in "A Mansion of Misery" (Selig).

Fannie Fraunholz was the other player in "The Bachelor's Housekeeper/' Grace S. — There is some dispute as to who is the father of Motion Pictures. Some say that it is Edward Muybridge who, in 1872, arranged 24 cameras so as to take 24 pictures of a running horse, the horse snapping the lens of each camera, by means of a thread, as he passed. When these pictures were held in the hand and pulled back quickly, they gave the impression of motion, but it was Thomas A. Edison who secured the flexible film and invented what we now call Moving Pictures. Other inventors have also made improvements. Yes; Claire McDowell. L. S. B. — That film was taken in Chicago.

Dawn F. — Well, it's Walter Miller that you're after. Frequently Kay-Bee and Broncho change players. Belle D., Niagara Falls. — Mary Fuller is the Mary. She is getting very well known. Yes, I have been to Niagara, but would not like to live there all the time: who wants a cataract always in his eye? The falls have often been done in pictures. Witch Hazel. — You want the June, 1912, issue, for Earle Williams' chat. Thank you for the compliment. Gertrude Lu — Ford Sterling was the bandit in "A Bandit" (Keystone). Marian Ferel was the girl in "Saved by an Aeroplane" (Reliance). The only explanation is that there is a new fool born every minute.
