"SECRETS of BEAUTY," my new booklet, mailed free on request. L PIERRE VAlllGNY, Room 98, No. 34 West 58th St., New York A Pelott. — William S. Hart attends to most of his mail himself. What he can't write himself he dictates to his sister. You can never tell until you try. Dolly L. — Do you mean "Smiling" Billy Mason? I do not keep track of the legitimate people. It takes all my time keeping tab on the screen folk. Jack Pickford was in the navy. Maybe he will scon. Mary Pickford is married to Owen Moore. Eileen R. — Mary Anderson is Mrs. Plinney Goodfriend, Louise Huff is Mrs. Edgar Jones, Elsie Ferguson is Mrs. Thomas Clarke, and Enid Bennett is Mrs. Fred Xiblo. Alice Brady, Vivian Martin, May Allison, Sylvia Brcamer, Jack Holt, Pearl White, and Harold Lloyd are their right names. Madge Kennedy is the wife of Harold Bolster. Lila Lee and Jane Lee are not related. "Come Out of the Kitchen" is a recent Marguerite Clark release, and "Girls" is another. Wanda Hawley was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1897. She has blonde hair and blue eyes. Bryant Washburn's wife is not appearing in pictures. Roslindale Dick. — Pearl White was born in 1889. Madge Evans arrived in 1909 and Leatrice Joy in 1897. What difference does it make what one thinks of prohibition when it's here? You have to take what comes, you know. Theda Bara and Olga Petrova don't paint themselves when they work before the camera. Red cheeks would photograph black on the screen. You see you must therefore use more than they do after all. What do you mean "Marry a girl if her heart was cold as ice?" Write all your scenario questions to William Lord Wright in care of PicturePlay, as he has charge of the magazine's scenario department. "In Secret" is the title of Pearl White's latest serial. Jean P. — Niles Welch has not changed his name. Henry Give was Lieutenant John Long in Evelyn Nesbit's picture, "I Want to Forget." Stuart Holmes is still playing heavies. I can't help you get on the stage any more than I can help you get on the screen, and that's no help at all. No, I'm not an angry person. I'm really good natured. (Miss) Zelpha F. — Write to Sessue Hayakawa himself for that picture. He was born in Tokio, Japan, in 1889. He was educated in Japan and also in the University of Chicago. He was on the stage for six years in Japan before coming to this country. His screen career commenced with Thomas H. Ince. He then joined Lasky where he made his big success, "The Cheat," opposite Fannie Ward. He is now with Haworth, making features for Exhibitor's Mutual. He rides, swims, fences, wrestles, and does about everything else. He is five feet seven and a half inches tall and weighs one hundred and fifty-seven pounds. His hair and eyes are black. Olive O. S. — Mabel Normand was the star in "Dodging a Million," a Goldwyn release. Charles Penay. — What do you mean, your initials arc Charles Penay? Bill Hart could hardly be the brother of William S. Hart, as they are one and the same person. Bill Farnum is William Farnum. Bill is merely a nickname. You might write them and see. Carmel Meyers was born in San Francisco, California, on April 9, 1901. J. D. — It is impossible to get a copy of the scenario of either "Queen of the Sea" or "The Triumph of Venus." Lena B. — Pearl White resides in New York. See answer to Miss H. L. Croquette Jean. — Marguerite Clark is four feet ten inches tall. Don't know whether she bought the tenth inch or grew it. That would certainly be Some Thrift Stamp. You might have it framed with a list of its travels. Mary Pickford's eyes are hazel. Bessie Barriscale has brown eyes. Lillian Gish is a bit taller, but you shouldn't have any trouble telling her from Dorothy. They aren't appearing in pictures together any more. Dorothy is making pictures for Paramount, while Lillian is still being featured in D. W. Griffith's releases, and will soon be seen in plays for the Big Four combine. I can't keep track of all, the letters I receive. The Two Of Us. — Madge Evans was born in New York City in 1909. I once lived in the same apartment house that she did, and was there when she was born. What do you think of that? John Bowers was born in Indiana. He has dark hair and eyes. Yes, that's his name. Carlyle Blackwell was born in Syracuse, New York, in 1888. Frank Mayo was born in New York in 1886. He is five feet eleven and a half inches tall and weighs one hundred and sixty-five pounds. Of course the little colored boy is an actor. Yes, Mary Pickford had a very bad case of the "flu," but she pulled through all right. Baby Marie Osborne is the only member of her family who acts. Her father is her business manager. You didn't break any rules. R. L. I. — Yes, Wallace Reid played in "The Clansman" or "The Birth of a Nation." He had the role of the blacksmith that had that battle royal with nobody to help him. Florence. — No, Pearl White is not dead. Where did you get that idea? See answer to Minnie W. Ruth Roland his been making serials for Pathe, "The Tiger's Trail" being her latest, but now has her own company. Pavlowa only made one picture for Universal. She is still dancing. Dick Melrose. — Mary McAllister was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1910. Betty M. — Yale Boss plays in features whenever there is a part suited for him. Jackie Saunders has announced that she will shortly return to the screen after an absence of over a year. Lew Cody is not married. He used to be Dorothy Dalton's husband. The male vampire of the screen was born in the quaint town of Watterville, Maine, in 1885.
