Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1920)

^38 Pt OTOPLAY Magazine — Advertising Section Questions and Answ^ers (Concluded) 1 "AtLast-a/?ea/Job and Real Money!" "And if only I'd started earlier, I could have had them five years ago. I didn't realize at first what spare time study would do for a man. Taking up that I. C. S. course marked the real beginning of my success. In three months I received my first promotion. But I kept right on studying and I've been climbing ever since." Every mail brings letters from some of the two million students of the International Correspondence Schools telling of advancements and increased salaries won through spare time study. How much longer are you going to wait before taking the step that is bound to bring you more money? Isn't it better to start now than to wait five years and then realize what the delay has cost you ? One hour after supper each night spent with the I. C. S. in the quiet of your own home will prepare you for the position you want in the work you like best. Yes, it will! Put it up to us to prove it.

D. — You remind me of the young bride who told her husband, when he asked her what she wanted for her birthday, that she'd love him just as much if he didn't give her a thing. And then she left him because he took her word for it. Call me Old Rip; call me Whiskers; call me anything, but don't insinuate that I'm an Answer Lady instead of an Answer Man. I won't answer your questions next time if you do. Ralph Connors' books are being filmed, in the original locations. I don't think Olive Thomas' late picture material has been up to her talents. She's an Irish beauty, a little past twenty, and married to Jack Pickford. She has an apartment in New York and works at the Selznick West Fort Lee studios. J. S., New York. — That's from Schopenhauer, I believe: "We (the human race) are like lambs in a field, disporting themselves under the eye of the butcher, who chooses out first one and then another for his prey." I don't know much about this pessimistic philosopher; I prefer not to think — and to be rather happy. Dorothy Dalton started with Thomas H. Ince; she played relatively unimportant parts, sometimes with Bill Hart, until her ability was noted and she was starred. "The Flame of the Yukon" was her first great success. Her present contract is not with Ince but with Famous PlayersLasky. She is playing "Aphrodite" on the stage. Probably will do it on the screen, too, later on. ToTON, Flint, Michigan. — It is indeed tragic that, having complied with my dearest hopes by not writing on colored or scented stationery and not asking a single question about Dick Barthelmess, your query happens to be one I have already answered elsewhere. Won't you, please, write again, Toton? Jim, Williston, N. D. — Your eulogistic letter may swell my already large pile of correspondence — but not my head-si2e. At the present price of hats — Bill Hart is lately seen in "Sand" in which he shares leading honors with his horse Pinto and the beauteous Mary Thurman, and "The Toll Gate" — the name of which latter picture may be changed for release. Kathleen Clifford with Doug in "When the Clouds Roll By." Since Margery Daw left the Fairbanks company to star for Marshall Neilan, Doug has Iiad a different leading lady for each picture. Charles Ray will be making his new pictures for First National, though there are -everal more releases to be filled on his InceParamount contract. You bet I'm for Qiarles. G. Hansen, Wis. — Your reference to Kathleen Kirkham started me whistling "Gee, but It's Great to Meet a Friend from Your Home Town." Menominee, then, is responsible for both you and Kathleen. Here are some of her pictures: "For Husbands Onlv," "He Comes up Smiling," "A Modern Musketeer," "The Beloved Cheater." Address Louis Gasnier Studio, Glendale, Cal. The other addresses are: Anna Q. Nilsson, Lasky, Hollywood; Owen Moore, Selznick, 729 Seventh Avenue, N, Y. C; Helen Holmes, S. L. K. Serial Corp., 112 West 42d Street, N. Y. C; Ruth Clifford, Universal, Universal Citv, Cal.; Mrs. Sidney Drew, Pathe, 25 West 4Sth Street, N. Y. C. I think all screen stars make a noble effort to answer their correspondence but at times it sets a bit beyond them and their staff of stenographers. You ask for Chicago film companies. There are Essanay and Emerald Film companies. Henrietta Stalls, Ky. — No, Pearl White is not married. Address this star, Fox Studio, 126 West 46th Street, N. Y. C. You are going to get a thrill when you see Pearl on Photoplay's cover. She's a glorious vision of light and color. Indian Mule, Mich.— Tut, child, what rash statements you make. I shuddered when I read your preference of men. I don't think I'll tell you what I look like because I can easily see I would not interest you — I'm not handsome enough, for one thing. Your hope is realized — Kenneth Harlan is in California with the Universal. Everybody, New Zealand. — What you ask us about Charlie Chaplin is answered in our vein of thought in the April Photoplay. "One Hundred Million" was Sid Chaplin's first picture under his new contract. Billie Burke is at present playing in "Caesar's W'fe" in New York. This is a stage production. Theodore Roberts is a character actor — and one of the finest, too. Your query about a New Zealand setting is a poser, and a bit out of my line. I'm sorry. K. A. R., Cal. — Of course I'll answer your questions and very gladly. Jack Pickford is a brother of the lovely Mary, but so well has he done on his own that he does not bask in the light of her reflected glory as "Mary Pickford's brother," but rather stands squarely on both his own feet. Write and tell him of your admiration and see if a picture, is not forthcoming. If the book you mention has attributes akin to the screen — action, love, humor, humanness, or spectacular quality — it possibly would make a good picture. Manon, Tenn. — Andrew Robson played Robert Marsh in "The Gray Horizon." And now for the cast of "The Man Beneath" : Dr. Chindi Ashutor, Sessue Hayakawa; Kati Erskine, Helen Jerome Eddy; Mary Erskine, Pauline Curley; James Bassett, Jack Gilbert; Countess Petite Florence, Fontaine LaRue; Francois, Wedgewood Nowell. The blackness of your ink rather fascinates me. As ink goes these days, it must be a pretty good product. Watch out for the evidence you leave on your blotter! Blondie, Mass. — For the present, sundaughter, I must remain an enigma, dark and insoluble as that ancient worthy, the Sphinx. But what's a little mystery among friends? Let's rip. Your collection is great — a collection that individually, or collectively, will go down through history. Yes, Ralph Graves is the youngest leading man in captivity. In Richard Barthelmess' latest picture, "Scarlet Days," there were two important iteminine roles played by Carol Dempster and Clarine Seymour. Nazimova confesses the place of her birth, but not the year. She is Russian. But what does it matter? ""Why Change Your Wife?" is Bebe Dan'els' latest picture. Address Lasky Studio, Hollywood, Cal. Dorothy Gish's latest is "Turning the Tables," with Raymond Cannon supporting her. Seaweed is my favorite necktie — a bit outre, but a neat comeback on highbinder haberdashers. BiLLiE, Kansas. — I'm glad you confessed to me you were a girl. Though the Answer Man loves all mankind, naturally he gets a bit of a thrill when the writer suggests frills and sweet — or Coty's — jasmine. Harrison Ford registers at the Lasky Studio, Hollyv/ood, Cal. Alice Brady is at Realart. Perhaps you would better send them each a quarter for their photos. Remember me to Governor Allen, Billie. He's a great American. Every advertisement in PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
