Picture-Play Magazine (Sep 1916 - Feb 1917)

306 The Picture Oracle send you a photograph if you ask her for one. Better inclose a quarter to cover cost of mailing, et cetera. Crane Wilbur is appearing in Horsley productions on the Mutual program. Creighton Hale is now with the Frank Powell Productions, Incorporated, having deserted Pathe. S A. B.— You horrid old thing! How could you say that? The only reason Earle Williams wasn't seen in such a long time was because he took it into his head to vacation for a while. I'll do my best for Wheeler Oakman. He's one of my favorites, so together we ought to be able to do something. Now will you be good ? Master Fenton Jeffers. — You wouldn't think that your friend Buffalo Bill was deaf and dumb if you could hear him once let out one of his famous war whoops. "Under Cover" was Hazel Dawn's latest play, with Owen Moore playing opposite. Harold Lockwood and Mae Allison have been with the Metro Company for quite a while now. Sis Hopkins.— Quit your kiddin' ! Yes, I think "Dusty" and Harold Lockwood would answer you. Yes, you have good taste in selecting Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford. Address Harold Lockwood at the Yorke Film Corporation, Los Angeles, California. What do you mean when you say Theda Bara makes a good "villain?" You might as ' well say Sheldon Lewis makes a fine villainess. Yes, Hazel Dawn is as pretty off as on. You tell your friend aunt that she ought to see an oculist as soon as possible if she thinks Olga Petrova ugly. True, Olga has red hair, but, oh, such a red! Your poetry was werra werra good. Andrew J.— You can get a picture of the Fairbanks twins by writing to the Thanhouser Film Company, New Rochelle, New York, and inclosing twenty-five cents to pay for the photo and mailing. Toronto-Jumbo-Tsuri Aoiki.— Where do you get that Tsuri stuff? No, you are entirely wrong. I did not go to sleep while reading your letter. To tell the truth, I didn't even yawn. Just wait until you see some of the very fine pictures in our gallery. They get better with each issue. Blanche Sweet is very popular in the United States. Think you had better write to her stating that you sent the two bits. Address her at Lasky Photo Play Company, No. 5284 Selma Avenue, Los Angeles, California. Mary Pickford was born in 1893. All right, I shall be expecting you to live up to your promise, and write me at least once a month. Theda Bara Fan.— Where is Teddy? Which one do you mean? T. R. or Teddy Sampson? Guess I will have to answer both for you to make sure that I hit it right. T. R. is out stumping for Hughes these days, and Teddy Sampson is on the coast. Seena Owen is still under the care of the Fine Arts Film Company at Los Angeles. No, Theda used her own hair in "Under Two Flags." Not hers by right of purchase, but by right of being born with it. Mary Fuller will still be seen in five-reel features released by the Universal Film Company. Yes, it is true that Kathlyn Williams has deserted Selig for Pallas. G A. — I like every one of your favorites very much indeed. You certainly have good taste. Yes, I am lucky enough to be acquainted with Billie Burke. She is every bit as nice in everyday life as she is on the stage. Fay Tincher is an artist in the true sense of the word. Just wait until you see Bessie Barriscale in a real good picture ! Saphead. — Sessue Hayakawa is the Japanese star with the Lasky Company. You can get a picture of him by addressing him in care of the company at Los Angeles, California, and inclosing twenty-five cents to cover cost of mailing, et cetera. The same for one of Wallace Reid. What do you mean the cows are giving ice cream these cold days? What has happened to all your cows that used to give buttermilk, and the one that used to give butter if you chased her around the yard long enough? The best age at which a young man should enter pictures is from ninety-nine up. Then he won't have long to suffer, and neither will the public. H. A. S.— Evidently you are going to use up quite a quantity of stationery if the number of addresses you want has anything to do with it. Jackie Saunders and Ruth Roland can be reached by letter at the Balboa Film Company, Long Beach, California; Violet Mersereau at the Universal Film Company, New York City; Bessie Love, Fay Tincher, and Douglas Fairbanks at the Fine Arts Film Company, Los Angeles, California; Charles Chaplin at the Lone Star Film Corporation, Los Angeles, California; Roscoe Arbuckle at the Keystone^ Film Company, Los Angeles, California; Mabel Normand at the Mabel Normand Feature Film Company, Los Angeles, California; Fairbanks Twins at Thanhouser Company, New Rochelle, New York; and Vivian Martin at the Morosco Photo Play Company, Los Angeles, California. The majority of your mail, it seems, will go to Los Angeles.
