318 The Picture Oracle tor? Victor Moore, Lasky; Victor Benoit, Fox; Victor Heerman, L-KO ; Victor Rottman, junior, Horsley-Mutual ; that's all, I guess. Madeleine. — Awfully sorry, but have no records on "The Typhon" (Ince). Your other questions are not according to Hoyle. Esther G. D. — Edward Earle was starred in "Ranson's Folly" (Edison). He is still with Edison, and may be addressed at their studio in New York. Your other questions are against the rules. J. H. P. — Olga Petrova was born in Poland. Better write to some music-publishing company for the translation of the Toreador song from "Carmen." I sadly neglected the languages when at college. Too bad, otherwise I could have helped you. Forgive me — and come again. India, P. A. — Your letter interested me exceedingly. All the questions you ask will soon be answered in a long, special article. It would take up too many pages of this department. Look for the story, it's a good one. Yes, the chances are better in California than in Canada, but if you go out there and don't get a job — don't blame me! Harry-Bud. — Never heard of John Dore and Alan Law. Sounds like a poem. "The Dumb Girl of Portici" is showing in all the big cities at regular theater prices. Yes, Helen Holmes is one of the most daringactresses in pictures. Read the story in this issue of "Girls Who Play with Death." It tells of all the others, too. "Tess of the Storm Country" was produced in California by Edwin S. Porter, formerly director general of the Famous Players. It was Mary Pickford's best subject. "Man and His Soul" (Metro) is Beverly Bayne's and Francis X. Bushman's latest. Earle Williams Fan. — See answer to Helen B. above. Earle's favorite sport is going to picture shows — he says so himself, and he ought to know. He's got a piano and a victrola, so that will tell you what his favorite instrument is. M. G. Johnston, Pennsylvania. — Address Lillian Lorraine, in care of Pathe Freres, New York City. Other addresses given elsewhere in this department. Mary Elizabeth Parker, and a score of others. — Your letters were immediately sent to Miss Bara. She will, no doubt, answer you at her earliest convenience. Detroit Girl. — Antonio Moreno's latest picture was "Kennedy Square" (Vitagraph) ; Marguerite Clark last appeared opposite Marshall Neilan, in "Mice and Men" (Famous Players). The latest Harold Lockwood picture was "Life's Blind Alley" (American). Ella Hall was last seen in "The Winning of Miss Construe" (Universal) opposite Bob Leonard. Creighton Hale is now appearing in Pathe's serial, "The Iron Claw," in which Pearl White is starred. Your other questions are answered elsewhere in this department. Miss Gertrude Houston. — See answer to Polly in this department. C. Sylis. — Dorothy Gish was born in Dayton. Ohio, but received her education at the Allegheny Collegiate Institute, in Wheeling, West Virginia, and from tutors. Carolyn 15. — If you ask so many questions when you are only fifteen, what will you do when you are fifty? Mary and Lottie Pickford were born in Toronto, Canada. Grace Cunard was born in Paris. She was on the stage in this country for a good many years, and has been in pictures for five years. She has been sick, but is again back at the studio. Yes, Grace Cunard is her real name. Francis Ford plays leads and directs. Crane Wilbur was born in Athens, New York. He is twenty-seven. Yes, Mary Miles Minter appears to be getting TLiite a rival of Mary Pickford's. Anita Stewart was born in Brooklyn twenty years ago. Earle Williams was born in Sacramento, California, thirty-six years ago. All your other questions have been answered elsewhere in this department, or are against the rules. Come again, I like to hear from Canada. Pearl; T. E. G. ; Morrie ; Annie; L. T.

C. — Very sorry, my good people, but you all have asked questions contrary to one rule or another set forth in the heading of this department. If you will read over the regulations and then write, complying with them, I'll be only too glad to answer anything you may ask. One bigmistake many of you make is neglecting to give your name and address. Neither will be used, I assure you, so please help me and yourself by giving them. To All My Friends. — If you don't see your answers as soon as you think they should be published, please consider the amount of mail that this department must handle. Yours will be answered in the order in which it was received.
