Do not send any money — just your name and address to Alexander Laboratories, 3222 Gateway Station, Kansas City, Mo J. C. H., Philadelphia.— Even Jeanne d'Arc's bright steel fit her perfectly. You have to hand it to French women. Irene Castle was born in New Rochelle, New York, in 1893. She is five feet seven inches tall. Mae Murray is four inches shorter than Irene, and Connie Talmadge one inch. Fanky. — Yes, I. too should like to go to Spain. I have been wanting to go in for some little recreation, so I might take up bullfighting. Your compliments are too saccharine to be sincere. I am skeptical of so much sweetness. And you'll have to ask me sensible questions the next time or I won't answer you at all. So there. Peggy, Houston-. — I, not like flappers? ]My dear child. My dear, dear child. You must be misinformed. I have never said I disliked the pretty little creatures. I may have professed a preference for the beauteous brunettes, such as Xegri, Naldi, and Daniels; but I have never I een bigoted about it. Flap and let flap; yes, indeed. Richard Talmadge is five feet ele\en inches tall and weighs 166 pounds. His real name is Richard Metzetti, from which I deduce he's a son of sunny Italy. .\m I right, Richard? J. T., VixELAXD, N. J. — Harry Carey is a real westerner, although he was born in New York. But he has been living on a ranch for years, and really likes it. Bill Hart was born in Newburgh, N. Y., and lives in Beverly Hills, California, when he isn't sojourning at the Waldorf in New York. Just how western does that make Bill? I hear he is going on the stage. Wanda Hawley is no longer with Paramount. She's five feet three, weighs no pounds, and has blonde hair and blue eyes. KiTTV L. B., London, England. — Thanks for your intelligent letter. You think Erich von Stroheim is the most finished actor on the screen. Just how do you mean that? But I believe, from your tomments, that you really approve of Erich. He was born in Austria and educated at a military academy. He was an army oflicer, magazine writer and newspaper man Lefore he became a picture director. "Blind Husbands," "The Devil's Passkey" and " Foolish Wives" are his three best known films. He was married, in igiS, to May Jones, and divorced her a year later. He's married r.ow to \'alerie Germonprez, and they have a small son, Erich, Jr. Von Stroheim is working now on "McTeague." Blanche. — You extol Mr. Blue. Well, Monte is one of the nicest actors I know. He's in the Tommy Meighan class personally as far as I'm concerned. He was born in Indianapolis in i8go; went to Purdue University for two years; then went on the stage. He's six feet two inches tall, weighs 185 pounds, and has brown hair and eyes. Among his pictures are "My Old Kentucky Home. " "The Kentuckians," "Brass" and "Main Street." He may do "Deburau." Hope so. Hugh H., San Francisco. — We have published pictures and stories about I on Chaney very often. I can't see why you think we have neglected him. Lon is highly esteemed in the film colony; his villain}' doesn't extend to the home. He has a wife and several children, I believe. Vi\iA^^ B., W'ELLSBORO, Pa. — You like to hate Theodore, do you? .And you want to see more about him in Photoplay. There was a story in the Februarj^ issue called "He Danced his Way into Pictures." Address M. KoslofI at the Lasky studios. Hollywood, Cal. He's a brother of Alexis Koslofi, who teaches dancing in New York City. Edelweiss, Geneva. — Geneva, Switzerland, not N. Y. Thank you many times for the colorful greeting. It's rather modern, isn't it — reminded me of the sets for "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari." You say you spoke to a theater manager about the Swanson and Valentino pictures and he said he had never heard of them. Can it be? Until you have seen Rodolpho, I can remain first in your imaginary affections. But a glimpse of him and your "Harold Lloyd of Answer Men" will fade right out. John Whitman. — What, you want to know, has become of the Essanay, Lubin, Biograph, Kalem and Selig Polyscope companies? Have you been doing a Rip Van Winkle? They have been dead, and buried, for quite some time. There is still an Essanay studio in Chicago, but it doesn't make Essanay pictures; it is rented. There's a Selig Zoo in Los Angeles, but not for use in Selig pictures. Kathlyn Williams, the intrepid heroine of the "Adventures of Kathlyn," plaj's occasionally in Paramount pictures. The good old days are gone forever, John. But you can still see many of your old favorites on the screen. Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Ba>Tie have come back to make a picture for Whitman Bennett. Maxinx B. — Ramon Novarro is not married. He is about twenty-three, and -is entirely wedded to his art, as the saying goes. He will star for Metro in the future. Ramon's real name is Samanvnegos, and he hails from Mexico. Delpha. — I never thought I would ever hear a name like yours. And as you say "I don't mind if you print my name right out in the Magazine," I am passing it on. Here is a 7iame. Have ^'ou ever noticed, by any chance, that when dramatic critics want to be extra-dramatic they pause a moment and then say impressively, "Here is an actor"? Ah! Wesley Barr>' has freckles, but he can turn them on and off at will. That is, in the California sunlight they are very apparent, but in other lights they are hidden. It was make-up that obliterated them in the first part of "Rags to Riches." .Address Wes at the W'amer Brothers Studios. Albert, Int)iana. — Estelle Taylor isn't in the least vampish off the screen. She's a nice kid. Besides ".A Fool There Was," Estelle has appeared with Jack Gilbert in "Monte Cristo," and "Over the Border"; in "Over Here," and "Thorns and Orange Blossoms.'' She is not married. Her family came from Wilmington recently to join her in Holl>'wood. LuciLE . — .Another bouquet for Oren Roberts ! This young man has had much attention since he emerged from the technical department of the Lasky studio to the pages of Photoplay. ^laybe if Mr. Lasky knew about his fan mail he would feature him. In front of the camera, of course. Elsie Ferguson isn't making any pictures at present. She is touring in her new play, "The Wheel of Life." I don't know what it is about; Manhattan hasn't had a chance to see it. Jacqltelin-e. — Have I red hair? You love red hair. I wish I did. Oh. why was I given \\a^y locks of brown? My hair isn't curly, you understand; just wa^•J^ Like — something like Jack Warren Kerrigan's. But of course not nearly so elegant. And I can r seem to cultivate that superb gesture which the leading men use when they run their fingers through their hair. I have tried and tried and I can't do it. Lois Wilson was once a school teacher; so was Mar>' Thurman. Edna McC. — You pronounce Nazimova with the accent on the second syllable; Barthelmess with the first syllable accented.
