I could hardly read the letter. I gather you are gasping to know if George Seitz, that fetching young serial director and star, is singly blessed or a benedict. Ah, Edith — he is married, and when the Seitz company, including George, Marguerite Courtot, and June Caprice, journeyed to Spain for locations, Mrs. Seitz went along. Here's cast for Hodkinson's "The End of the Game": Burke Allhter, J. Warren Kerrigan; Mary Miller, Lois Wilson; Frank Miller, Alfred Whitman; Dan Middlelon, Jack Richardson; Four-Ace Baker, George Field; Wild Bill Simpson, Walter Perry. J.ACOUELIXE, Gr.and Ledge, Mich. — Jackie for short, I hope. The main reason I can see for naming any baby Jacqueline is to be able to call her Jackie later on. Paul Willis was Francis Billings in "The Haunted Pajamas," with the late Harold Lockwood. Your French is faulty, man ami — no French girl would describe herself as a petite little brunette. Try again, Jacqueline. M. G., Verona, Ohio. — I am not sure that every woman should have the vote — but I am convinced that every woman should have a voter. Xow, don't be angry — I only try to spill a little philosophy once in a while and you can skip it if you like. George Stone is nine years old. Winifred Greenwood is married to George Field. Mary MacLaren isn't married, and she has just signed a new contract with International. She left Universal some time ago. No no — Hoot Gibson didn't play Scth in "Blind Husbands"; that was H. Gibson-Gowland. M.\Ri.\N, M.\Disox. — You say you wish you were a man because a man's dress suit lasts for a long time w-hile a woman must have a new gown for every dance. Yes — that's just the reason one dress suit lasts a man for a long time. Never thought of that, did you? You want all the plays that Marguerite Clark, Jack Holt, and Sessue Hayakawa have appeared in during the last two years. In other words you want a special edition of Photopl.^y. That would mean about two hundred photoplays in all. It can't be done — not in one Answer Man's life-time, Marian. F. F., New Brunswick. — Ages and ages ! The starettes must dislike me intensely — I am always contradicting their press-agents. Ruth Roland is twenty-seven. Ethel Clayton is also in her later twenties. Viola Da'na is twenty-two; May Allison, twenty-five. Eddie Polo works at the Universal studio in Universal City, Cal. Malveena Polo is his daughter; she is also appearing in Universal pictures. Dorothy, Alb.\xy. — I'll answer your questions about matrimony if you'll tell me why is a raven like a writing-desk, with apologies to Lewis Carroll. Tom Moore hasn't married again; he's in "Stop Thief" and "Officer 606.'' Marion Davies is a blonde; she isn't married. Harrison Ford has been married but he is now divorced. He's with Lasky. Helene Chadwick may be reached care Goldwyn. I have heard that she is engaged. Now — why is a raven, etc.? Arlette, Lewiston, Maine. — Well, I may not be a genius but my answers certainly keep the wolf away from the door. You see I shout them off to him as I write and he wouldn't come nearer for worlds. Zasu Pitts is married now; she eloped with her young leading man, Tom Gallery. Beth and Betty, Nelson, Nebraska. — Glad to hear from you two. You write a very nice letter for your early teens — by the way, which of you wrote it? Leslie Marsh is a niece of Mae Marsh. Mae's first new picture for Robertson-Cole will be "The Girl in the Woods." She's married to Louis Lee Arms. You'll hear from those stars eventually, I am sure. Why not now? Because they're all awfully busy. E. A., Evansville. — Love is blind, as the old saying goes — but the neighbors are not. Let that be a lesson to you, Eva. Thelma Percy was the cunning blonde — I am quoting you — in "The Vanishing Dagger." She's Eileen Percy's younger sister. Marie Walcamp is twenty-six; she's married to Harland Tucker, her leading man. Marie hails from Denison, Ohio. Violet Palmer was born in Flint, Michigan. Is that all really? E. D. v., Lemoyne, Pa. — "Coincidence," released on the Metro program October 25, was Robert Harron's last picture. Frances Ring, Mrs. Thomas Meighan in private life, is not playing on the screen or the stage now. Bebe Daniels isn't married; she's nineteen. Tom Meighan 's new pictures are "The Frontier of the Stars,'' "Easy Street," and "Conrad in Quest of His Youth." B. L., Tulsa. — I could scarcely believe my old eyes when I read the other day that a woman in good health and not asleep had not uttered a single word for ten hours. Reading a little farther I noted that she was swimming across Lake Geneva at the time. I never met one yet that could keep still for ten minutes, not to say ten hours. It's Meighan's real name. He has no brother m pictures. S. C. Brooklyn. — The best steps for a young man to take when his sweetheart's father orders him from the house? Long ones.

Ethel, Omaha. — It is reported from the west coast that Helen Ferguson is soon to become the bride of William Russell. Bill is thirty-four; Helen is about nineteen. Nice little girl. Margarita Fischer is divorced from Harry Pollard. She has finished her American contract and at this writing is in New York City shopping and resting. She'll probably sign a new contract soon. I'll let you know. Shawnee. — "Food for Scandal" was Wanda Hawley's latest Realart release. Harrison Ford played opposite her in "Miss Hobbs." Ford isn't a star, but a featured leading man who really occupies a stellar position in the opinion of many picture-goers. Don't mention it. Concha. New Orleans. — Gaston Gla.^s is a godson of Sarah Bernhardt. He played in Sarah's company in France, then came to this country, where he took up picture work.
