Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section Questions and Answers J2I (Continued from page 106 ) Manhattan. — What's this? Is someone attempting — only attempting, mind you — to have a little fun with me? If so, I warn you I am not to be spoofed. I think you know that Rodolph Valentino was not in "Foolish Wives" and that Eric von Stroheim was, but I'm telling you anyway. Peg. — There is only one production of "The Sky Pilot" that I have heard of. Colleen Moore and Kathleen Kirkham appeared in it. It was the Cathryn Curtis production of Ralph Connor's story and it was directed by King Vidor. H. E. — "The Sheik" was filmed in Hollywood or environs. The interiors were all made at the Lasky studios, and the exteriors on the sandy wastes of Cal. Yes — we seem to be running to deserts and sheiks and captured English maidens lately, don't we? C. A. M., South Bend, Ind. — Bert Lytell has been on the stage or screen two-thirds of his existence. His last play was "Mary's Ankle," with Irene Fenwick. His latest picture is "To Have and To Hold," with Betty Compson. Address him Lasky Studios, Hollywood.

Miss Jackie. — Wally Reid in "The Dictator," with Lila Lee, and "Nice People," William de Mille's new special. Paramount is concentrating its star dust.

Inky, Charleston, West, Va. — Carlyle Blackwell ! What has become of Carlyle ? He was in the varieties the last I heard. His last picture was "The Restless Sex," with Marion Davies. Blanche Sweet hasn't appeared in anything but private life for a long time now. I miss Miss Sweet; she has great dramatic talents. Never will forget her as "Judith of Bethulia," will you? Dodo. — By Benson? But no — of Brooklyn. Your gold ink is interesting, but hard on the eyes. Some secret formula must have made it. I never saw any gold ink before. Or maybe — as I remove my glasses I observe that the ink I thought was gold is only a vague yellow. And so it goes. Valentino is under contract to Paramount. His first stellar vehicle is "Blood and Sand," in which I imagine he will be very picturesque. Isabelle Lafonts, New Orleans. — Connie Talmadge is getting her divorce from John Pialoglou — I daresay she has it now. Constance is a blonde; she is five feet six inches tall and twenty-two years old. She was bom in Brooklyn. Gloria Swanson is a Chicago product. But perhaps that isn't a very polite way to tell you that the lovely Gloria was born in the Windy City. Ah, well — I mean well. Janice Jourdan, Shawane, Wis. — That can't be your real name. It's too delicious. Why, the man who invented Eskimo Pie is many times a millionaire. I wish I'd thought of it first. All I do is eat it. And I can't afford to very often. Middle Western Fan. — Mabel Normand used to be known in London as Muriel Fortesque, but that was in the Biograph days when the real names of players were never given out.

H., Birmingham, Ala. — I have never heard of a brother of Harold Lockwood in the films. You say a Robert L. Lockwood is supposed to be a brother or cousin of the late star.

Nancy Lee. — Elaine Hammerstein is the granddaughter of the late Oscar Hammerstein, the impresario. She's a New York girl, born in 1897. Elaine has a fair complexion, brown hair and gray eyes and weighs just 120 pounds. She is living in California now, since Selznick no longer makes pictures in the East, having moved its entire production force to the west coast. Elaine in "Why Announce Your Marriage?" and "Reckless Youth." T. L., San Francisco. — So you object to my calling my stenographer henna-haired. You insist upon titian, and don't see why she doesn't too. I am very easy to get along with. My stenographer is absolute autocrat — of course all autocrats are absolute; I know that — of my office. But upon one thing I am adamant. I keep right on calling her henna-haired. Rodolph again! He was divorced from Jean Acker, an actress. Dreamy Eyes. — You have nothing on me. But I wear smoked glasses so they can't tell whether I'm dreamy-eyed or not. I mostly am. I do get so tired of telling 'em Valentino is married. Jack Sherrill was Steve O'Mara in "Then I'll Come Back To You." That's an old picture. Barbara La Marr, Metro Studios, Hollywood, Cal. California-Bound. — There are many who will envy you. Give my regards to Broadway, Los Angeles, and to all the little starlets. Viola Dana in "Seeing's Believing," with Allan Forrest as her leading man. Viola has returned from her personal appearance tour and is once more making pictures for Metro. Write to Marion Davies at the Cosmopolitan studios, N. Y. C. Marion's later pictures have been "Beauty's Worth" and "The Young Diana." She is now playing Princess Mary Tudor in "When Knighthood was in Flower." A charming part and Marion looks very lovely in the picturesque costumes. "At Last— a Real and Real Money!" "And if only I'd started earlier, I could h;»e had them five years ago.
