Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1920)

Photoplay Mag/Uine — Advertising Section 127 Questions and Answers (Continued) Miss Eddie, Wash. — Your French-Enslish effusion left me in doubt as to whetht'iI got from it all you intended I should Anyway, I did grasp that you make fudge, which left me hopeful, as I carry insurance. Our artist is very much rushed making beautiful covers, so I can't burden him with a plea for a new pose. Alice Brady has recently completed "The Fear Market" and "Sinners." Yes, light comedy is Constance Talmadge's forte. So you would like a new cover of her. Well, keep watching. N. S., Syracuse. — Theda Bara is scheduled to appear in a stage production of A. H. Woods' "The Lost Soul"; so just at present she is out of pictures. Alice Brady and Mary Miles Minter are with Realart, N. Y. C; Mary Pickford, Brunton Studio, Los Angeles; and Norma Talmadge has her own company at 318 East 48tfi Street N. Y. C. Watch out for Mary Pickford in "Pollyanna"; it will be coming to your town very soon. Our subscription rate is $2.00 a year. Come on in ! V. C, Ala. — Pearl White is not married, and when asked about her age on one occasion replied laconically she was neutral. We'll have to let it go at that. Anent your question as to whether any of the movie stars originated from poor parentage, Pearl White is an outstanding figure. Helen Holmes has her own company — the S. L. K. Serial Corp., 112 West 42d Street, N. Y. C. "Please Get Married" and "The Willow Tree" are two of Viola Dana's recent releases. The man you ask about must be suping. He's not known. R. R., St. Paul.— Of course I have felt like Billy Baxter in Tarkington's "Seventeen." Love is a fire that burns and sparkles in men as naturally as in charcoal. Henry Walthall was born in Alabama in 1878 and played in stock for a time. His screen career started in 1910. He has been with Essanay, Paralta, Biograph, Pathe, Reliance, Fine Arts. . At present he is with the National Film Corp., Hollywood, Cal. Arleen N., Cal. — The man you ask about is known to me neither by his real or reel name. Fm sorry, but if he is in pictures then he can't have brought himself out of the exti-a class. Is there anything else I can help you on, little Arleen ? That's a pretty name. Alta Lockwood, Chicago Yes, Elinor Field and Cullen Landis have gone stepping off alone. Elinor is now with National Film Corp. at Hollywood, Cal., and Cullen Landis is with Goldwyn. Fm all with you when you say they were a good couple. Such a modest question as yours should have been answered before now, but the old Answer Man is not as young as he used to be. Jack Holt Admirer, Ore. — So you want another interview with Jack Holt. I say "another" because we had an interview with him in our August, iqi8, issue. Great boy, isn't he? W. D. W., Pa.— Zoe Ray was born in Chicago, iQio. While this little lady has been a featured performer in many productions, she has yet to ascend to leads. But the future, we hope, is long and bright for her. Mary Jane Irving is not a star. Francis Carpenter has been out of pictures for about a year, due primarily to the fact that he is neither hay nor grass; in other words, at nine years he is slipping beyond the young child age and yet is scarcely mature! Shirley Mason is with Fox, 126 West 46th Street, N. Y. C.
