NOVEMBER 1924 Pictures and P/cfrjreQoer married, some little time ago to James Cruze, her producer. (2) Write her c/o Lasky Studios, 1520, Vine Street. Hollywood, California. (3) I think she would answer your letter if you write nicely. RODIN (Melbourne). — (1) No, there's only one of me, Robin, I admit I'm a wonderful man. (2) I've forwarded your letter to Mae. Reader (Brighton). — Letter forwarded to Pauline Frederick. E. T (Bedford). — That was a slip of the pen I apologise to Tom Mix for making a blonde of him. G. L. G. (Gillingham). — (1) Send in those questions av;ain. (2) I'll do my best to get you an art plate of Richard Dix. Love ok Old Favolkite (Rochester). — (1) Olga Petrova has been playing on the New York stage for some time, and has left the screen, probably for good. (2) George Beban's latest picture is The Sign of the Rose, the film version of his famous one-act stage play of the same name. O. N. (Southport). — Your carol isn't quite good enough to print. But keep on trying. E. A. (Honor Oak Park).— Glad the article on J. Warren Kerrigan met with your approval. Yes, I'll certainly let you have news of him in PICTUREGOER, but at present he's not doing much film work. Daisy (Stratford).— (1) Cecil Humphreys is touring in a stage production at present. (2) He's married to Gladys Mason and has a little son. No, I'm pot an old lady, Daisy. No old lady could do my job for the length of time I've been at it. and still be alive to tell the tale. It needs a man of iron like myself to survive the storm of questions that dailv descends on PICTUREGOER offices. ' * Helen MacGrei.or (Midlothian). — Your nicely-worded and tactful little appeal as usual has gone to my hard heart, and the milk of human kindness once more flows freely on your behalf, ma wee Scotch vamp. (1) Norman Kerry is American and was born in New York. But his mother, who has recently died, came from Budapest. (2) I haven't heard anything of those three stars for some time. Mary Glynne, I believe, is playing on the legitimate stage in America. (3) Not even a snap of me, though it's yourself that asks, Helen. I shouldn't like to disillusion you. Xazimova-Lover (Cambridge). — Xazimova's coming back to the screen at last, in a film called Madonnas of the Street. directed by Edmund Carewe. Renee (Yorkshire). — I've forwarded your letter to Dick Barthelmess. (1) I'm afraid it won't be easy to get a personal reply from Dick. Film stars have so much fan mail that it would be impossible to answer it all themselves, so they have to employ secretaries. (2) You'll find Rudolph Valentino's address in another answer on these pages, if you want to try your luck asain R. E. R. (Westcliffe-on-Sea).— (1) Irene Castle is in London at the time of writing, but I expect she will have returned to America by the time this appears in print. She has recently married and is retiring from both screen and stage. (2) Her next and last release will be Slim Shoulders. Cinema Lover (Southampton). — Glad to hear PICTUREGOER is such a family favourite. (1) You'll find Rudolph's address above.

(3) Pola Negri's real name is Appolonia Chalopez — but in the interests of suffering fandom she changed it to something more pronouncable. (4) Can't say whether Smilin' Through will be re-issued. Probably. Le Bretonic. — One minute I'm an angel, the next I'm a brick, according to you fans. The latter's my choice — a halo doesn't suit my own special brand of beauty.

(Berks). — I've forwarded your letter to Anna Q. Thanks for the promise to send those questions another day. Procrastination may be the thief of time — but it's the very good friend of " George." Robert (Crewe). — Sorry I couldn't see you, Robert, but press day is press day — and a printer howling for his copy is like unto a bear deprived of its cubs. Even I daren't face it. Connie (Forest Hill). — Letter forwarded to Matheson Lang. (1) You might try Ideal Films, Ltd. 86-88, Wardour Street, W.I., for a photo of Clive Brook. G. L. (Swansea). — Thanks for thanks.

Read what Chrissie White has to say about it in the July PICTUREGOER. (3) No art plate of me, Pegeen. I'm proof against flattery, threats or cajolinsjs. Smooth Arms of Snowy Whiteness Hair growth disfigures the »rnu and shades the skin a tone darker. Women should never use razors as they only make the hair grow faster and thicker. This Is why men's beards get stifl, coarse and bristling and why they must shave daily. Ordinary chemical preparations smell abominably and often irritate and injure the skin. Vert, the new perfumed velvety cream has superseded these objectionable methods of removing unwanted hair. It has been endorsed and recommended by the medical profession. Just spread Vcet on as it comes from the tube, wait a few minutes, rinse it off and the hair is gone as if by magic. Satisfactory results guaranteed in every case or money refunded.
