Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1921)

M RS. W. E. A., Roxbury, Mass. You say if fashion dictates shorter skirts you don't know what you'll do. I know — you'll wear 'em! Oh, Jack Holt isn't dangerous at all — except, perhaps, from the screen. He is married and the father of several children. He was born in Virginia and educated at the Virginia Military Academy. Holt was once an extra. Hard to believe, isn't it? He's working now in "The Grim Comedian," at the Lasky studio in Hollywood. M. D., Brookville, Pa. — Life is not a broad highway for us to travel. There are many byways, and it is very easy to lose your way, even in these days of stationary lamp-posts. Gareth Hughes, Rubye de Remer, and the Novak sisters are not married. But they are saying Jane or Eva — I don't know which — is engaged to be Mrs. William S. Hart on a permanent co-starring contract. Time alone will tell. Irexe. — Reminds me of the Scotchman who said, "Aye, I have a match — but I'll be lighting my pipe in a few minutes and ye can wait." I am not niggardly with my matches of wit and wisdom. In fact, I am prodigality itself with such answers as: Marguerite Clark is very happily married to H. Palmerson Williams and: no, there is not the slightest possibility of their being divorced. Seriously, the Williams' are just about the most devoted couple I have ever seen. Marguerite won't give up the screen but she will make only one or two pictures a year. Helexe I. O. — You cannot expect unswerving allegiance to all the old-timers, with so many new stars coming along. Still, I get a good many letters about Henry Walthall. There was a rumor that he was to return to pictures, but I have heard no confirmation of it. Walthall is married to Mary Charleson. He is now touring the country in Ibsen's "Ghosts. " Miss Evaxgelixe, Michigax. — There is no fee. We are but epistolary ships that pass in the night, or flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la — whichever you prefer. By the way, why don't you ask me some questions? Peggy. — Why should I divulge my birthdate? These movie stars can remain silent on the subject and get away with it. It is only one of their many privileges, whereas my complete anonymity is my only refuge and recreation. Don't begrudge it me, said he in the Shakesperian manner. Vincent Coleman won't tell his age either; but it is his real name, he is unmarried, and has brown hair and eyes. Pat O'Malley in "Go and Get It." Gladys Brockwell in "The Sage Hen" for Pathe directed by Edgar Lewis. A "Peach" Column From Uncle Sam's Movie Directory By J. R. O'NEILL May. S. C. Allison. la. Alice. N. D. Brady. Tex. Ethel, Miss. Clayton, N. Y. Viola. Ark. Dana. 111. Dorothy, N. J. Dalton. Mass. Elsie, Ga. Ferguson, Ky. Pauline, Neb. Frederick. Okla. Vivian, La. Martin, Me. Anita, Pa. Stewart, Ala. Norma, Tenn. Talmage, Kan. Pearl, Idaho. White. S. D. Clara. Md. Kimball. Minn. Young. O. C. W. G., Charlestox. — David Powell is married. He is also abroad. The last I saw of him was in the photograph published in our Plays and Players department in the April issue, which showed Mr. Powell pretending to read a letter on the Riviera. There are so many more important things to do there, you know. The cast of "The Palace of Darkened Windows" follows: Arlee — Claire Anderson; The Rajah — Arthur Carew; Billy Hill — Jay Belasco; Azade — Christine Mayo; Captain Falconer — Gerald Pring; Eva Ever sham — Adjle Farrington. _, Joseph D. U. — Julia Marlowe has never appeared in pictures. Her husband, E. H. Sothern, made some photoplays for Yitagraph several years ago: "If I Were King" and "The Chattel." Blue Eyes. — You and Mollie King. Yep — Miss King, or Mrs. Kenneth Alexander— is now singing and dancing on Broadway in a musical comedy called "Blue Eyes." The music for it, by the way, was written by Carmel Myers' young husband, I. N. Kornblum. Charles P. U., Utah. — So you met Billie Burke's sister and she offered to introduce you to Billie Ziegfeld and also to get you a pass for the Follies. I'm so sorry to disillusion you, old dear, but you see the fact of the matter is, Billie Burke has no sister. Perhaps, someday, some kind soul will indeed present you to Miss Burke, but I'm afraid you'll have to worry along without that pass to the Follies. Barbara. — Dorothy Dalton and Lew Cody have not married again — each other, or anybody else. Miss Dalton is working now in Cecil deMille's new production. She has the leading role while Mildred Harris appears in support. Conrad Nagel is leading man. Dorothy Dalton probably hasn't forgotten you — drop her a line at the Laskv studios. Miss F. S., AucklaxdJ N. Z.— Thanks for your nobby note. I like to hear from you. I hope you get a large framed photograph from each of the following: Eugene O'Brien, Selznick, Fort Lee, N. J.; Dorothy Gish, Griffith, Mamaroneck, N. Y.; Billie Burke and Mae Murray, Paramount (eastern); Charles Ray, his own studio, Hollywood, Cal. Dolly DeVere. — Ah — you're the one who dances on in the first act to say, "Girls — Harold Heavyheart is here!" I really can't recollect if I have ever seen you on the stage. Which proves that I am ungallant, but honest. Mary Fairbanks' name was Smith before it was Pickford. She was born in Toronto, Canada. Address the three Talmadge girls at their own studio, N. Y. C.^ 71
