Conn Other People's Dollars (Concluded ) But Mr. Johnson avers that this clause is merely inserted in the contract to protect the company and give it some power to enforce installment payments. He also states that never has his company exercised this power. There have been complaints filed against Johnson and Hopkins with the District Attorney of New York, and in each case, according to Assistant District Attorney Kilroe. have they reimbursed the complaining investor. Nevertheless, the contract is not an attractive one under which to buy stock of any sort. A stock subscriber living in Oregon might get sick or lose his job or become subject to sudden and unforseen expense. It would bt both troublesome and awkward for the Oregon subscriber to convince Johnson and Hopkins of his good faith and his need, and obtain a settlement, either reimbursement of the money paid in or stock to the amount paid for. Questions and Answers (Continued jrom page 102 Clare, Oklahoma City. — You are a decided relief from the usual facetious flapper whose contributions flood my mail. Is the gentle manner and the unassuming grace your everyday dress or your party frock, I wonder? In other words, do you help your mother with the house-work or are you only polite when there are guests? Neither Norma nor Constance Talmadge was ever on the stage. Both began in films, with Vitagraph, Constance as a comedienne with the late John Bunny and others, and Norma in drama and occasional character work. Gertrude, Kansas Ctty.^— You're a devoted slave oi Madame Petrova. I am, too. but I don't dare express my admiration so openly. Madame is now touring the country in vaudeville, where she is breaking the records. There is a charming page from her pen in the January issue of Photoplay" I Magazine. She can write as well as she can act. M. S., Houston. — Don't see why I should describe myself. If I told the truth you'd be disappointed, and if I lied you wouldn't like me. I never lie to a woman. They are so much more expert in the art that they could always detect it. Of course, I mean some women. Tom Moore has blue eyes and light brown hair. Mabel Normand will send you her picture. She is still with Goldwyn. Consult our Studio Directory once in a while. W. J. W., Poughkeepsie. — I must say you do very well for a beginner. But do young ladies require experience in asking questions? I think not. Doris May's real name is Helen Garrett. She didn't leave Thomas Ince's company after all, although she is not co-starring with Douglas McLean any more. Bill Hart's latest is "The Testing Block." Bebe Daniels' real name is — Bebe Daniels. F. V. F., Pinckney, Ark. — You say you are sure I have been asked, and have answered, every question under the sun, and (hen you proceed to dig up one that I can't answer. But I liked your letter, old top, and wish you'd look me up if you ever come up to this bustling Babylon. None of those ladies you mention is married with the exception of Gloria Swanson and Wanda Hawley. The hitter's husband is J. Burton Hawley of Hollywood. Dorothy Gish will send you a picture, I'm sure. You're dead right about Ethel Clayton and Anna Q. Nilsson. Both charming girls — and good Friends, too — did yon know that? They're both in New York now and they have both presented the old Answer Man with their autographed photographs. Don't you wish you had my job? Be sure to write again. the lightning. The best way to reproduce lightning on the screen is to scratch the negative with a pin. Allan Dwan and other directors use this method. Bill Hart isn't giving up screen work. He's making new pictures right along. The latest to be released is "The Testing Block."' Don't blame you for liking Bill : he's a fine fellow, and sincere actor. Did you read "Bill Hart's True Love Story" in January? Rufus, Mlnetto, N. Y. — Dear sir is a good way to address me. It is impersonal and to the point. But most of my readers don't want me to be impersonal and to the point. The Willard Mack who was oner married to Marjorie Rambeau is the same Willard Mack who was divorced from Pauline Frederick and rumored to be engaged to Barbara Castleton. Douglas McLean and E. K. Lincoln each has a wife. Louise Huff obtained her divorce from Edgar Jones a long time ago. She was awarded the custody of her little daughter. Mi?s Huff later married Edgar Stillman. Norma Talmadge wore a blonde wig in certain scenes for "Yes or No?" Louise Lovely is Mrs. William Welch. If they have been divorced I have no record of it. Violet. Kedley" Lake. — I haven't been back to Chicago, so you couldn't have seen me in Lincoln Park that Sunday. The gentleman you went to such trouble to immortalize with your little Eastman Kodak was doubtless a very worthy subject — much more worthy than I. But don't paste him in your Photograph Album under "The Answer Man." Some poor professor from the wilds of Fvanston, I'll be bound. Why do you insist upon my having a beard? And I can't help you to get in the movies, eithei. So I'm an all-round disappointment, I suppose. R. G., Detroit. — Don't quite see how they can film George Bernard Shaw. Yes. I like him — I like him so well I even read his prefaces. Harrison Ford is to play with the Talmadge sisters for one year. He will be Norma's leading man first and then will act opposite Constance. Charles Ray's studio is in Hollywood. California. He is married. Onlv once. No children. A Bluebird. — I agree with you in just one particular. That is when you say you believe you have written enough. Gloria Swanson is Mrs. Herbert K. Somborn; Anita Stewart. Mrs. Rudolph Cameron; Marguerite Clark. Mrs. H. Palmerson Williams. Robert Harron was not married. El A. C. J.. Cottjlla, Texas. — Of course I know the difference between lightning and electricity. You don't have to pay for erj advertisement In pnoTori.AY MAGAZINE is guaranteed. Mistress May. — You ask if I am old, young, or middle-aged. I answer, yes. John Barrymore is your favorite, is he? Well, you show good taste. Niles Welch is married to Dell Boone; they have no children. Have no record of Mrs. Walter McGrail. I believe there is no such lady.
