308 The Picture Oracle Douglas Fairbanks Fan. — You should address your favorite in care of the Lasky Studios, Vine Street, Hollywood, California, where he is working at the present time. Jewel Carmen is the name of the girl who played opposite him in "American Aristocracy." Bessie Love is the little miss who supported him in "The Good Bad Man." Alma Reubens is with the Triangle Company at Culver City, California. There are not many studios in either New York or California which the public can visit except by special permission. They allow visitors at the Universal Studios in Universal City, California. Douglas Fairbanks was born in Denver, Colorado, in 1883. , E. F. R. — Marguerite Clark was born in Cincinnati on February 22, 1887. Mary Miles Minter was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, on April 1, 1902. May Allison has not appeared in any productions smce she left the Yorke Film Corporation, where she was playing opposite Harold Lockwood. Shirley Mason was born in Brooklyn, New York. Her right name is Leonie Flugrath. Billie Burke will get any mail sent to her in care of the Famous Players Film Company, New York City. Mary Miles Minter receives her daily batch of letters at the American Film Company, Santa Barbara, California. Marguerite Clark also receives her mail at the Famous Players Film Company. Shirley Mason should be written to in care of the Edison Film Company, Orange, New Jersey. D. B. — Have just answered your question about the chances for a young man hard of hearing to enter the motion-picture game. You will find it several questions above this. Lenora McC. — There was a concern called the Ebony Film Company that produced comedies played entirely by colored people several months ago, but I have not heard anything about them since, so don't know whether they are in existence now or not. Several of the companies use colored people in different parts of their plays, so it might be a good idea to apply at the different studios for work. It may happen that they are in need of some one of your type. Fuller Forever Fan. — Mary Fuller is not with the Lasky Company any more. She did one feature with Lou-Tellegen and then left. William Garwood purchased a nice hog ranch for himself, and swore that he was going to devote his entire time to the raising of the pork-bearing animals ; but, nevertheless, he is back on the screen with Universal. His last feature was "The Guilty Man," for Thomas H. Ince. Vivian Rich is now doing a feature in support of Gladys Brockwell at the Fox Studios. Remember when Billy Garwood and Vivian Rich used to play opposite each other at the American Film Company? They were quite a popular couple in those days. Charlotte Burton is still with the American Film Company, appearing regularly in their releases. Milton Sills is always working in something. He is very much in demand these days. I'll speak to the editor about your requests. Thanks very much for the kind words you have to say about Picture-Play. They are much appreciated. Miss Marguerite B. — Your answers about the lips should not have been sent to me. Kitty of the Smoky City. — Your friend is mistaken about both Theda Bara and Charles Chaplin. Charles Chaplin was born in Paris, France, of English parents, and was raised in England. Accumulating Dictionary. — You start off by saying that you want to ask me a million questions, and wind up by asking only one. Do I seem so mysterious as all that? I didn'thave any idea that I was regarded in such a light at all. Mystery belongs only in moving-picture serials. Did you address Mrs. Vernon Castle correctly? You should have sent your letter to her in care of the Pathe Exchange, 25 West Forty-fifth Street, New York City. When do you intend asking the remainder of those one million questions? Let me know, so I can prepare for them in time. Teddy. — Valeska Suratt should be written to in care of the Fox Film Corporation, 130 West Forty-Sixth Street, New York City. Yes, I am sure that she will send you one of her photographs if you write and ask her for it. William S. Hart receives all of his mail at the William S. Hart Film Corporation, Los Angeles, California. The Lubin Studio in Philadelphia has been sold. See and Be Convinced. — What do you mean, a person of the neuter gender could" not have the patience to answer the Oracle questions? I always thought that neuter gender meant something that did not live. Possibly you meant the masculine gender? Louise Glaum should be addressed in care of the Triangle Film Corporation, Culver City, California. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she would answer a letter from you. So you think you will read your answer "Somewhere in France?" Then you must be there at the present time. Ohian Inquis. — Niles Welch is the name of the little fellow that played opposite Marguerite Clark in "The Valentine Girl." He has been in motion pictures for some time. Jack Richardson is with the Triangle Company now. Winifred Greenwood last appeared in "The Lorelei of the Sea," which is to be released soon. The three tots you mentioned are only playing in pictures off and on now.
