The Motion Picture Story Magazine (Aug 1913-Jan 1914)

152 THE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE Ave, New Zealand. — All New Zealand readers should send their questions to this office and not to our New Zealand office. I find it very inconvenient for me to be in New Zealand and Brooklyn at the same time. Charles Hitchcock in "The Wildman" (Essanay). John Steppling was Mr. West. Marguerite Snow was the girl in "A Romance of the U. S. N." (Thanhouser). Welcome again. Martin J. B. — I agree with you that those lurid, red-white-and-blue posters that are plastered all over the fronts of some M. P. theaters do more harm than good. They may be all right for a circus, but not for a high-class show. As a rule they attract only the low-brows. Better times coming. Bright Eyes. — Louise Huff and Chester Barnett in "Her Supreme Sacrifice." Marita A. — Edna Maison and Edward Alexander had the leads in "The Little Skipper" (Powers).

Coralie. — Wallace Reid was the inspector in "The Harvest of Flame" (Rex). Marshall Neilan was the foreman. Good advice is a punishment we should forgive but not forget. Am always glad to get advice and suggestions. Maurice. — You possess the dullness of lead, without its malleability. You misquote me. I said no such thing. Never mind the critics, my child. Readers make success, but spectators make fame. Lillian E. — No ; Anita Stuart's nose is not putty. I have seen, examined and tested it. Nothing is the matter with Arthur Johnson's feet. Your other questions are out of alignment. Get in focus ! The Clock. — Florence Hackett was Julia Radnor in "A Leader of Men" (Lubin). William Bailey was Joe Bailey in "The Hermit of Lonely Gulch" (Essanay). Right you be ; that scene was so natural that you could fairly smell the roses in the garden. Milly. — Anna Nilsson and Guy Coombs had the leads in "Retribution" (Kalem). Biff, 13. — Julius Frankenburg was the boob in "Absent-minded Mr. Boob."

John Bunny plays in the Brooklyn studio. L. S. Belzoni. — Ruth Stonehouse was the girl in "Requited Love" (Essanay). Mary Pickford on the November cover. Oh, my child, we must have comedies ! Without laughter the pools of life would become stagnant, cares would be too much for us, the heart would corrode, and life would be all bas-relievo and no alto.
