He is a real Englishman and is now with Selig in Los Angeles. May Allison is not married, despite the wedding ring. Messrs. Foxe, Reid and 1-ockwood are all bigger than us, so we refrain from expressing any opinion as to their respecti\ e degrees of pulchritude. Don't see why your family should dislike Mr. Bushman so much. That's not at all clubby. (Yes, dearie, a royal flush beats four of a kind. That's kinda out of our line, but we asked a man who knew.) A. T., Toronto, Canada — Dorothy Davenport was born in 1895. Your others .ire answered elsewhere. G. A. M., Ottawa, Canada — We have no record of that Minter story. Perhaps you have the name wrong.

J., Miami, Fla. — We have no record of Phyllis Gordon though the name is a familiar one. Jack Ford is a brother of Francis. G. K., Malden, Mass. — You are almo.st a good guesser. Accept our most sincere thanks for your laudatory letter. If there's one thing we just dote on it is having people write us and tell us how clever we are. Seriously however, we did like yours better than most of 'em. Betty, Denver, Colo. — Dustin Farnum is with Fox in Los Angeles. Tom Forman is with Lasky. Both are married. Tom is .?4.

J., Richev, Moxt. — Your description is too meager as more is rc(|uired than brown curls and grey eyes. Anyhow vou're too young to break away from the old homestead. Yes, we like your selection of stars. Now run to school or teacher'll scold you. H. D., Osceola, Ia. — Annette Kellerman and Geraldine Farrar are about the same age. Adda Gleason and Monroe Salisbury had the leading roles in "Ramona." Claire, Chicago — Write Tom Santschi, care Selig, Los Angeles, and Harry Morey, care Vitagraph, New York. Of course we are deeply appreciative of the honor you are about to confer upon us by making us the hero of a scenario. But really we don't deserve it. All we ask is an epitaph when that time comes, labeled : "He answered his goldarnest." Molly. Sprixg Hill.

G., Chicago — We share your opinion concerning Mr. Walthall's talent and ability but Photoplay reserves the right to criticise his plays favorably or ad\ erscly as it sees fit. The same applies to other plays and players and because your opinion does not coincide with ours there is no reason for wasting a two cent st.imp to tell us we're a knocker. Cheer up though, spuds are getting cheaper and a man with a moderate income may now eat onions once a month without jeopardizing his bank roll. ■ M. L., Richmond, Va. — Yes, we were quite surprised to hear from yoiL You were about the last person we thought would write us. As .i rule we do not open letters sent to actresses in care of the magazine unless they are hea\ \ enough to indicate that there is money in 'em.
