PnoTOPi-\Y Magazine — Advertising SEtnioN Questions and Answers (Continued) Florence, Iowa. — The low-ins are curiouicr and curiouser this month. Do you know that you rule the world? Arline Pretty comes back, with Jess Will.ird, in hL^ iilm debut. Lucille Lee Stewart is Kui;ene O'Brien's leading woman in '"The I'erlect Lover" with Mary Boland and ^Llrlha ^.Linsncld. Three leading women to love; lucky (.iene. He always did s;et the be>t of everything. All because of a droop to his mouth, a lift to his eyebrow, and, of course, a little talent. He's talented, thai boy; talented. That all? LoREir.A, Syracise. — Dear Loretta, that is Henry Kinij's real name so far as I am able to ascertain and inasmuch as he is married to Gypsy .\blHitt and is the father of a little s>rl I wouldn't write and propose to him. He directs now. Gypsy .\bbott isn't acting now; you may remember her with Balboa. They live in California — somewlicre near Los Angeles. I'll look them up for you. Irmyn, Mumi. — Those stars will send you pictures, I think, especially if you enclose the customary quarter. Barbara Castleton, H. B. Warner company, Brunton studios, Los .^nceles; Alice Joyce, \ii graph, Brooklyn, New '\'ork; Douclas MacLean, Thomas H. Ince studios. Culver City, Cal.; Ruth Roland, Patlie studios, Glendale, Cal ; Eugene O'Brien, Hotel Royalton, New York. Texas Guinan's first is "The Girl of Hell's Agony." She is making two-reel westerns for William Sherrill of the Frohman Amusement Corporation. Jack Sherrill is her leading man for one picture; and Jack Richardson, the former "Flying \" and Triangle villain, will pursue her through two and a half reels only to fall off a cliff at the end. Seriously. Ihouch. the Guinan pictures will be a new kind of "western" with Texas as a feminine billhart. Flatterer, Rochester. — Don't call me an efBciency expert. Call me grandpa, the soul of wit, old top, — but don't accuse me of being an efiBciency edgar. I am a roving Roeer; a sweet William; a lazy, careless \-isionary who never did anything on schedule in his life except eat. I hope I have disfllusioned you. I am brief, however; and I am so young you must excuse much. But let me make my own excuses and let you give them. I don't know if Eugene gets tired of holding his mouth on one side; I know I get tired of answering questions about Eugene. I should think he would work it in shifts, shouldn't you? I don't know why Constance and Harrison Forde don't form a permanent partnership, but it may be that it hasn't occurred to them and that their own wishes would be rather paramount in a case like this. Irene Castle's first Famous Players picture, "The Firing Line." I lost the rest of your letter and I'm sorry. Write again. Bettt D., Pro\tdence. — In an English magazine they were mentioning "our homely film stars." I'm sure they will all be highly incensed unlB they stop to think that in Enelisb "homely" doesn't mean unattractive but simple, home-loving. However, that may make them feel just as bad. Tell you the studio address of each actor? Betty! I've got work to do. There are several hundred actors you know. Elliott Dexter is in his early thirties. Married to Marie Doro. Marie's new picture is a Herbert Brenon product, "Twelve-Ten," made in England. Many, many felicitations; I greatly appreciate your kindn--— Miss Can.\da, Stratford. — My dear, I enjoyed your letter very much indeed; don't be afraid of me. I am very kiml to Canadians. Gladys Brockwell will answer you; I am sure she will. She is married; and the lady who is usually with her Ls her very young mother, Billie Broikwell. Billie answe.-s Glailys" mail — unlev. it's a letter from you — doigns Iut gown>, heljw her study lu-r loles, and is a general lul. There are some wonderful mothers in the star business. Conway Ti-arle has bern married and is married. The present Mrs. Tearle is known professionally xs Adrle Rowland, well known on the musical comedy and vaudeville stage. Helen, Santa Rosa. — I never heard of the actress you mention. While I have heard of a good many actresses there must be some I don't know about, I hope; and your friend is one of them. 1 don't know, either, how often Wallie Reid passes throui^h Santa Ros.i, if ever. And 1 can't tell you just the age of Nazimova, but I know that she is somewhere in her thirties. 1 wish you would ask me something I can answer. Barbara, "Society Belle." — In the first reel you are seen at your coming-out parly. There you meet the villain, a count, and the hero, a young reporter. Jewels artstolen and suspicion points to the reporter. In the third reel you are seen at a ball featuring a large feather fan. In the sixth reel you marry the reportt-r. \'ou believe in him all the time. They forgot the jewels in the second reel. Seems to me you're pretty young to be gallivantin' around like that; girls didn't do that in my time. I like blondes. Wanda Hawley, Lasky studios, Hollywood. She has appeared in, lately, "For Better For Worse" under Cecil DeMille's direction; and as a reward for her good work in this and other Laskys she ha.s been given the title role in "'Peg o' My Heart," which William DeMille will direct \ivian Martin, Lasky. Madge Kennedy, Goldwyn, Culver City. Others elsewhere. Elizabeth C. C, California. — Marie Walcamp is Universal-serialing on the old City lot. Pat O'Malley was with Metro for the Viola Dana picture, "False Evidence,'' in which he played her brother. He was with L'niversal some time ago, and I think you might address him at Universal City. Norma Talmadge has her own studios, under the management of Joe Schenck, who is her husband in private life. There's a Constance Talmadge, and a Natalie. Niles Welch is with Lasky, playing opposite the various starettes. Mrs. Welch is Dell Boone, who also acts. My family? Ah, Beth, I am connected with some of the veribest — (Armour's brand) — by telephone. Lytell and Desmond Fan, Mount Kisco, New York. — Didn't I receive your other two letters? Well — now that I think of it — it seems to me that one rainy morning, coming down feeling rawther damp and dispirited, I found on my desk among several hundred other letters, two letters which I immediately opened. One was from you. The other was from you. .^nd now you are writing me a thiru letter. I?n't it wonderful? Such sympathetic communication is rare — very rare indi-ed. So Bill Desmond sent you his picture, personally autographed. I wonder what Mrs. Mary Mclvor Desmond will say? I don't sec how you girls have the heart to try to break up the happy homes of movie actors. But you haven't hi-ard from the other*. Serve* you right for supplvint' these greedy thespuns with thrift stamjw St4re of her personal dain tiness — therefore Sure of herself. "hJO woman, no matter how beau •^ ' liful. can retain her charm so Ions as her pre.sence does not exhale sweetness. Her irreate.st enemy is Kxressive Armpit Perspiration. It destroys her poise: ruins her most expensive (rowns, and subjects her constantly to humiliation.
