INSTITUTE OF PHOTOGRAPHY NEW YORK CHICAGO BROOKLYN 141 W. 36th Si. 630 So. Wabash Ave. 505 State Si. Star Dust. Your letter was great. Accept, please, my sincere thanks. You say you waited for my picture to appear with as much interest as you used to await the outcome of a serial; that for years I must have felt like "The Hooded Terror," or "The Bearded Stranger." No — like "The Laughing Mask." Your letter is so good I am passing it on to the Editor. G. K., Chicago, III. — Address the photographer, Donald Biddle Keyes, at the Lasky studios in Hollywood. I believe Mr. Keyes is the staff photographer for the more important Paramount productions. Anyway, he's an artist. Michael. — I knew you'd be askin' for the Murphys. Miss Edna is the young lady who played Ruth Harrington in the serial, "Fantomas." She was born in Brooklyn in 1900. Several Brooklyn children grew up to be famous on the screen, including the Talmadges and Anita Stewart. Edna Murphy and John Walker are not married — at least, to each other. H. C, Hartford, Conn. — Height hasn't a great deal to do with screen success. But it would be difficult for a girl in the neighborhood of six feet to play any but comedy roles. Most of the celebrities of today are quite short. Lillian Gish is five feet four; Dorothy, five feet two, and Elaine Hammerstein, five feet five. Bobby Brown. — You bobbed your hair and your boss calls you Bobby. You're fortunate he didn't fire you. I approve of bobbed hair, say I, in the Van Wyck manner, so long as it is becoming. Mae Murray in "Fascination." Richard Barthelmess in "Tol'able David," "The Seventh Day," and "Sonny," for his own company, Inspiration Pictures released through First National. Dick is still married, and happily, to little Mary Hay. Brown Eyes, Norwalk, Ohio. — Of course that's a picture of me at the top of the department. Do you think I'd let them put anybody's else picture there? I admit I have trifled with you about my actual age. I am not quite seventy-four. But if you had had to sit to an artist as long as I did to get that drawing made, you'd resent hotly anyone's insinuations that it's somebody else. And it's a good likeness, too, what's more. Yes — Valentino once played with Mae Murray, in "The Delicious Little Devil" and "The Big Little Person." Pauline. — Agnes Ayres played with Valentino in just one picture, "The Sheik." Agnes was born in Chicago about twentyfive years ago. She was married to Capt. Frank Schuker, but recently secured a divorce. She's a pretty girl off the screen, as well as on. She lives v/ith her mother and brother and brother's wife and brother's baby in Hollywood. S. K., Allentown, Pa. — So all the folks at home call you Harold Lloyd. Can you act up the way Harold does in his pictures? I doubt if Harold uses a double. A double couldn't do the things Harold does to make millions laugh. From all of which it may be deduced that I am in favor of the Lloyd comedies. I'd walk miles to see one. But of course I don't have to, because they show them very near where I work. Sometimes I am allowed an hour or so off to see Harold. Usually I am so weak from laughing that I am in no condition to go back to work ; so you can understand why I like Lloyd so well. I advise you to write to the Hal Roach Studios at Culver City, Cal., to find out if they need a double. I've heard that Mildred Davis may be Mrs. Harold Lloyd some day. She's a nice girl. Imogene. — If I ever cherished a secret desire to become an actor in the films, that desire was dispelled when I saw myself coming in a window one day. The only way I could succeed in the pictures is to do rough comedy work, such as being the target for bricks and blows. And I get the bricks and blows here, so why should I move? You correspondents act more like co-respondents sometimes, it seems to me. There's no pleasing you. I've had an awful time with you girls since Valentino announced his engagement. You all seem to blame it on me. Robert C. B., Truro, Nova Scotia. — Thanks. Your letter made me a little less unhappy than usual. And for that I am grateful. Gloria Swanson was divorced from her first husband, Wallace Beery, in 1018. She later married Herbert K. Somborn, and they are now divorced. Little Gloria Swanson Somborn will be two years old October 7, 1922. Theda Bara is married to Charles Brabin, who directed many of her Fox films and will direct her again when she returns to the screen. Larry Semon was born in West Point, Miss. Wallace MacDonald is a native of Nova Scotia — Mulgrave, to be exact. Ann Thomas, Detroit. — Carmen Phillips is not a star. She usually plays adventuress or vamp parts. She may be reached at 6555 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, Cal. Yes — the telephone numbers of the City of Studios — and Angels — run into six figures. Just like the film star's salaries. Dona, San Antonio. — The part played by Nita Naldi in "Blood and Sand" is Dona Sol, the Spanish society matron, commonly called a vamp. Rodolph — need I add Valentino — had his latest birthday party May 6. Albert Roscoe was John the Baptist in Theda Bara's version of "Salome." Nazimova has made a film of the famous biblical lady, further popularized by Oscar Wilde. I don't know the members of her cast. Natacha Rombova designed the sets. Norma Mays, Pine Bluff, Ark. — Neither of Richard Headrich's parents is a professional. You can write to little Richard at 134S East 39th Street, L. A., Cal. He's one of the least offensive of the dear little kiddies of the screen. His dog's name is Spot. Now don't ask me the names of other stellar canines, felines, and equines. I happen to know the name of Dick's dawg, but I don't keep records of all the pets. One of Them. — For the benefit of my readers, I hasten to pass on the information that Thomas Chatterton may be addressed at the Alcazar Theater, San Francisco, Cal., where he is now playing, having deserted the studios. That is also the address of Gladys George, the nice young lady whom you used to see opposite Thomas Meighan for Paramount. Thanks, One of 'em. Meg of Cincinnati. — Alice of Old Vincennes. Rose, of Old St. Louis. Me, of Manhattan, and a well-filled desk, and a refractory typewriter ribbon, and a few choice extracts from one of the world's finest vocabularies. However — May McAvoy is not married. She, Wally Reid, and Agnes Ayres comprise the cast of William deMille's "Clarence." Agnes' eyes are grey and her hair is brown. A charming combination.
