If there's a Gary Cooper club, that's just dandy — but I was never notified, and unfortunately you don't tell me who is in charge. The leading man in "What Price Beauty?" was Pierre Gendron. Eugene O'Brien is in vaudeville. M. T. S. — Much as I like to he obliging, it is asking too much to expect an answer in "the next issue." In fact, it's asking a miracle. A magazine requires about three months for printing and distribution. Ken Maynard was born in Mission, Texas, July 21, 1895. He went to a military school in Virginia, and then became a trick rider in circuses and Wild West shows. He was a featured rider in Barnum & Bailey and Ringling Brothers circuses in Los Angeles, before starting his film career in December, 1922. He married Mary Deper, August 18, 1925. N. R. Whipple. — Fannie Brice has been making a film at United Artist studio. I think Davey Lee could be reached through Keith-Orpheum, Los Angeles. "Snookums" is with Universal ; his name is Sunny McKeen. Farina is really a colored boy, named Allan Hoskins, and he works at the Hal Roach studio in Culver City, California. Magnolia's mother in "Show Boat" was played by Emily Fitzroy. Mildred LanDeo. — Yes, I might as well have all those questions in one gulp and get them over with ! Charles Rogers has an elder sister who is married. I think his parents live in Olathe, Kansas. Nancy Carroll is twenty-three and separated from Jack Kirkland, her husband. Ronald Colman is thirty-eight, married, but does not live with his wife. Alice White is twentytwo and unmarried. Answers to your other questions are included elsewhere in this department. Marathon.— If I answer your questions, you'll know I'm good? I don't want people to know I'm good ; they'll expect too much of me. Renee Adoree — Renee de la Fento — was born in Lille, France, September 1, about 1901. Five feet one, weight 107.

Jean Ackerman is a show girl, not in movies as far as I knowr. And who is Gurla Andre? Are you cataloguing the A's? Ramon's Fan.— Yes, I have met Ramon ; he doesn't seem conceited at a'l. Perhaps a little naive. Yes, he's among the ten most popular stars. I didn't happen to notice the box-office returns of "The Pagan" or "The Flying Fleet." Curiosity Ruth and Curiosity Ethel. —And that doesn't tell the half of it? Am I supposed to turn over the whole page to your questions? You'll find all those dozens of life stories you ask for given here from time to time. Greta Nissen is a Norwegian actress. A girl named Eva Olivotti sang Laura La Plante's songs in "Show Boat." Rin-Tin-Tin made pictures for years ; some of his films were "Below the Line," "Clash of the Wolves," "The Night Cry," "Dog of the Regiment," "Jaws of Steel," "Rinty of the Desert." Malcolm McGregor was born on October 13th ; William Collier, Jr., on February 12th. James Ford and Doug, Jr., are both First National players. Anita Page's real name is Anita Pomarcs. Others you ask about use their own names. Another Garbo Fan. — No wonder Garbo is such a cool person, with all those fans ! Billie Dove's real name is Lillian Bohny. She was born in New York. Write to Greta Garbo at M.-G.-M. studio for her picture. "Little Women" was produced on the screen about ten years ago. Perhaps Betty Compson wears her hair fuzzed because she likes it that way. C. S. and A. S. — Well, C. S., you win. There is a film called "Mademoiselle from Armentieres," an English picture released here last year. Estelle Brody and John Stuart played the leads. I don't know of any film called "Murdered Millions," but there may be some old-timer like that. Gary Cooper was born May 7, 1901. William Powell is divorced from Eileen Wilson. He doesn't give his home address. Margie. — Not the Margie? Not the one the song was written about a few years ago? There was an article about Richard Barthelmess in Picture Play for September, 1928. He has several fan clubs : would you like the address of the one in Brooklyn? That's Ethel Milner, 1303 Dean Street, Brooklyn, New York. Josiana Bernay. — Such a nice letter, even if it was written in pencil ! You'll be glad to know that your favorite, Ralph Forbes, has been signed by First National, and is playing opposite Corinne Griffith in "Lilies of the Field." I don't know why you complain that you haven't seen him much since "Beau Geste" — didn't you look? He played in "Mr. Wu," "The Enemy," "Trail of '98," "The Latest from Paris," "The Actress," "Under the Black Eagle," "The Whip," "Reckless Youth," "Masks of the Devil," and "Green Goddess." Isn't that enough? Both Ricardo Cortcz and Rod La Rocque reached the movies via the stage. Yes, Alma Rubens is Ricardo's first wife. It's true she is very ill, and is not yet well enough to appear in pictures. A David Rollins Fan.— And he has man}' more ! He was born in Kansas City, Missouri, September 2, 1909. He began in pictures as an extra in 1926. David's new films are "Meal Ticket" and "Listen to the Band.' Did you see the story about him in Picture Play for Noveriber? Eleanor Martin. — For once I refuse to stand corrected ! You chide me for saying some months ago that Buddy Rog
