Reixe L., Monett, Mo. — Sweet of you to set me right, Miss L. Poor human nature is prone to mistakes. I was quite sure that Mabel Julienne Scott is single. But you say you "beg to differ and that she married Mr. Browning, a nonprofessional, and has been here to visit her husband's mother in this same town." Thank you. Malcolm McGregor, Metro. Ramon Novarro, Metro. Another fair one wanting to know where she may write Ivor Novello? Happy Ivor! Once again my typist rattles off the many times repeated direction "Care David Wark Griffith." Richard the Popular's name is pronounced Bar'-thel-mess. L. S., Rockford, III. — You, too, admire Mae Murray's loveliness? In that you have much company. The Answer Man buys a front seat for a Mae Murray picture. Alas! for the poor bachelors and widowers who admire her she is married with every appearance of permanence She married Robert Leonard, her director and partner. A love match made in the Hollywood studios while they were working on pictures together. When East she lives in a studio apartment near Central Park West. You can get a photograph of her by writing the Metro Studio. Yes, Richard Barthelmess is a benedict. He has been married for more than two years to Mary Hay. Since February he has been a proud and fond papa. He once told me that his ambition is to keep his family together and happy. Must you really know the ages of these picture idols of yours? Very well. I'll give you a start. A little figuring is good for the brain, dear Lenore. Miss Murray was born in 1886. Mr. Barthelmess first opened his eyes upon this world in 1895. M. L. C, Tiddings, Tex. — Yes, Marjorie, I should^ say Valentino the Superb would send you a photograph. Why not ask him yourself, prettily? Send your letter to him at the Hotel des Artistes, 1 West Sixty-seventh Street. The Hotel des Artistes is what its name indicates, the home of many artists. Mme. Yorska had a studio therein. I have called on and smoked with Robert Edeson within its portals. Robert Vignola gave me there a good dinner. Quite natural that Rodolph should gravitate to the artistic hostelry. That popular bridegroom, Harold Lloyd, should be addressed at the Hal Roach Studios, Culver City, Cal. Lila Lee and her photographs may be traced through the Famous PlayersLasky Corporation, 1520 Vine St., Hollywood, Cal. Katherine MacDonald has a studio of her own. To let your wants reach her luminous eye or dainty ear you should write her care the Katherine MacDonald Studio, 904 Girard St., Los Angeles, Cal. The bride and bridegroom, Marilyn Miller and Jack Pickford, should be communicated with by way of the United Artists, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks Studio, Hollywood, Cal. Dicksie, Hollywood, Cal. — You will be a good wife, Dicksie. You say little and make it to the point. You do not ramble. You write me across continent to tell me that Mary Pickford and Agnes Ayres are your favorite actresses. I'm sure they will be glad to know it. Nothing you wanted to know? Just wanted to tell me that. It's interesting. How old are you, Dicksie? School girl age, I'll wager. Claire, an uptown address, in the Biggest Town in America. — Sorry it was a long and tedious process to screw up your nerve to ask for information. Knowest thou not that the Good Book saith "Ask and ye shall receive"? I am not formidable. The birth records say that a small red, yowling infant was born in 1895. The church records reveal that subsequently and without his written or spoken consent he was named Kenneth Harlan. Rodolph Valentino is on tour. His address — temporarily permanent — is Hotel des Artistes, a hostelry on which I before have enlarged. Barbara of the City of Roses — Delighted to add to the fund of information of one who writes over such an engaging name. The handsome African explorer who won your admiration in "The Drums of Fate"in which he played opposite Mary Miles Minter is Maurice ("Lefty") Flynn. You want to write him? O Barbara of the Roses — " Babbie !" Well if you must you must. Why can't all that part of the human family that wears trousers be motion picture actors? We might not all be proof against the admiration of such lovely girls as I am sure Barbara of the Roses is. "Lefty's" wife is not an actress because he hasn't any. The letter, if it starts, must go to the Lasky Studios. You "are enjoying reading Rodolph's Life History" and are "glad that he and Winifred are happily married." You "wish them all the happiness in the world." Very generous of you, Babbie, but I hope enough will be left lavishly to supply you. E. L. K., Darien, Conn. — Um, New England reserve! Certainly we will publish only the initials if you prefer. Wonder if you are an architect. Why? Because you desire the "ground plan" — that's what architects call it if one is considering a building — of Pauline Garon and Malcolm McGregor. Miss Garon is five feet one inch tall and weighs 100 pounds. She is about nineteen years old. Her hair is blonde. Her eyes are hazel. "A French blonde," in common parlance. Her address is care Arthur H. Jacob Productions, United Studios, Hollywood, Cal. Malcolm McGregor is six feet tall and weighs 1 70 pounds. Carries them well, you've noticed. They are not wont to run to one or two conspicuous spots as in the case of paunchy men we sometimes see wistfully admiring his figure from the audience. He has dark brown hair and eyes. He was graduated from Yale. He is married to a nonprofessional. His address is Metro. There, E. L. K.,I threw in the hair and eyes and marriages and the stuff about Yale for good measure or as they say down New Orleans way, lagniappc. Aren't I nice even though, not. as one of my sweet correspondents says, a "little man"?, M. P., Atlanta, Ga. — Another seeking information about the fascinating Norma Talmadge. She was born in 1895. Her height is five feet two inches. Her weight is no pounds. A "friend of the family" tells me that it is of Spanish origin. Her leading man in "Within the Law" is Jack Mulhall. G. I., Derby, Conn. — You write humorously of the uneven distribution of life's gifts. A "twin" you know is "as pretty as a picture" and the other is cross-eyed, bow-legged and knock-kneed. "Can I imagine her before a camera?" I can. She might make her fortune as a comic. For the rest of your missive, Ramon Novarro, happily for the peace of mind of many maids, is unmarried. Chat with him by way of pink paper, a fountain pen and the Metro studios. A. W. A., Westport, Conn. — What a charming name for a home. Recalls the trees in the environs of Paris where one dines upstairs, as it were, on tables spread among the branches. The pronunciation of Bert Lytell's name puzzles you? Pleased to end the confusion. No ambiguity in the first name. Short. Blunt. Honest. Lytell is pronounced with the accent on the last syllable. The "y" in the first syllable is short. Juin, St. Louis, Mo. — All you want to know all I know save about the pictures in which he appears. You say you have seen and admired them. Good. How is this for the other essentials? Novarro was born in Durango, Mexico, February 6, 1899. He is five feet ten inches tall. That is socks, not boot, height, I believe. He weighs 160 pounds. He is a dancer. Unmarried. His newest picture is "Scaramouche," made from the novel by Sabatini. Every advertisement In PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE Is guaranteed.
