Picture-Play Magazine (Sep 1917 - Feb 1918)

The Picture Oracle 145 certainly see many variations in style, as far as paper is concerned. D. W. Griffith's feature, "Intolerance," was finished more than a year ago. It ought to make its appearance in New Zealand very shortly now. Don't forget to write again when you find the time. Kangaroo Klub Kokomo. — May Allison has not announced that she has joined any other film concern since she left the Metro Pictures Corporation. I haven't heard a word about what she intends to do. I guess it won't be long, however, before we hear something about her new arrangements. Harold Lockwood is now getting a new leading lady for each one of his pictures. Tom Forman has volunteered, and is now stationed down at San Pedro, California, with the Coast Artillery. Yes, I am sure that Norma Talmadge would gladly send you one of her photographs. Address her in care of the Selznick Enterprises, 729 Seventh Avenue, New York City. She has a different leading man in each one of her features. They all seem to be doing it now. Certainly we like to hear that our readers are pleased with our magazine. Thanks very much. Call again. Miss Y. G.— Write to the editor of PicturePlay Magazine regarding the poem you mention. He will be able to tell you all about it. M. L. H. — Page Peters was a cousin of House Peters, and not a brother. He was drowned several months ago in California. You can address House Peters in care of Willis & Inglis, Wright & Callender Building, Los Angeles, California. House Peters has left the Morosco Company, but has not announced his future plans up to the present time, although there are many rumors as to which company he will sign with. Hazel. — I hope you will turn out to be even better than Olive, Jr., because that young lady seems to have deserted us. There have been several productions of "Madame X." Which one do you mean? You can address your friend Wayne Arey in care of the Thanhouser Film Corporation, New Rochelle, New York. Mrs. C. le B. — Our mutual friend, Ormi Hawley, seems to have vanished from the screen. She joined the Fox Company, but left shortly afterward, and I have no idea of her whereabouts at the present time. I have been waiting to hear from her as to her hiding place, and what her future plans are, but nary a word has reached me so far. I'm still hoping that Ormi will not desert the screen. Yukon Husky. — You can reach William S. Hart by letter at the William S. Hart Film CorTO poration, Los Angeles, California. William Farnum now receives all of his mail at the Fox Film Corporation, 130 West Forty-sixth Street, New York City. Bessie Barriscale is with the Paralta Plays, Incorporated, starring in features for her own company. You can address her in care of Paralta, Los Angeles, California. Virginia Pearson's address is the same as William Farnum's. William S. Hart's horse, "Fritz," will not be seen with him in any more of his features. Bill has decided that the horse has earned himself a retirement by his gallant work in his films, and will let him enjoy life as he will hereafter. Hart has finished his tour of the country, and is working hard on his releases for the Artcraft program. Enid Markey is the girl you mean. She is now with the Fox Film Company, being starred in features under the direction of Dick Stanton. Yes, there is a prominent actress by that name. The Robert W. Chambers story, "The Rise of Susan Lenox," was filmed by the World Film Corporation, with Clara Kimball Young in the title role ; so you will have a chance to see the story you have been hoping would be screened some day. Some of Gouverneur Morris' stories would certainly suit Charles Ray to the proverbial "t." I enjoyed your letter immensely, and was not tired answering your questions at all. Dutch— Jack Mulhall will get a letter addressed to him in care of the Universal Film Company, Universal City, California. Niles Welch can be reached at the Famous Players Film Company, New York City. Webster Campbell is with the Vitagraph Company now, playing with Alice Joyce. Yes, he is a very good-looking chap, and a fine little actor, too. Write to him in care of the Vitagraph Company of America, East Fifteenth Street and Locust Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. Valeska Suratt gets all of her mail at the Fox Film Corporation, 130 West Forty-sixth Street, New York City. George Fisher is the young man that played opposite Mary Miles Minter in "The Gentle Intruder." It was produced by the American Film Company, and released on the Mutual program. Gwendolyn. — Some of your questions date pretty far back, so I guess you don't see many of the late releases in your home town, eh? James Cruze played the leading role opposite Florence LaBabie in "The Million Dollar Mystery" for the Thanhouser Film Corporation. It looks as if Jane has retired from the movies. John Bunny died several 3'ears ago, but the Vitagraph are now reissuing some of his old comedies again. No, William S. Hart did not play in "Hell Morgan's Girl." It was William Stowell who played opposite Dorothy Phillips in this. You are probably thinking of "Hell's Hinges," in which William S. Hart starred some time ago. Gladys
