EL— I'm sorry, Molly, but I can't help you get into pictures. T only wish I could, because then I could also help thousands of my other readers to accomplish the same desire. Ike. — Does it lake that much courage to write me? I always thought I was pretty easy to get acquainted with.

Yes, I have quite a few readers in Japan who write me regularly. The Japanese are great picture fans. Benjamin Hampton and Jesse Hampton are running entirely different companies. Warren Kerrigan was with Jesse but is now with Ben. Polly ann a. — Clifford Bruce played opposite Viola Dana in "Weaver of Dreams." Jack Pick ford was born in 1896.

When he isn't acting he lives in an apartment house in Los Angeles. That is his correct name. Amos. — Things are not always what they seem. It was a piece of trick photography with John Barrymore playing both parts, and not his double as you supposed. You will have to admit now that his double isn't a better actor. You must say that you liked John better in his second part, eh ? June Fairest. — May Allison has golden hair and blue eyes. She is one of the screen's beauties. She is five feet five inches tall. Violet Mersereau is one inch shorter than May, and weighs but one hundred and fifteen pounds. Yes, I get enough inquiries to keep me busy all the time.

He is president of the Vernon Baseball Club, which won the pennant in the Pacific Coast League. Roscoe is naturally smiling all over these days. Jewel Carmen has not appeared on the screen since she left the Fox Film Corporation. She was with Keystone in the early days, and was at that time known as Evelyn Quick. She first played opposite William Farnum at the Fox Studios, and was later starred by that concern. She is said by the camera men to be one of the easiest photographic subjects on the screen, being equally well photographed from any angle of the camera. Teddie. — I should say I'm flattered, although when I went to school, I would much rather have written to some one than study Latin. You write a jolly little letter and one that makes me feel as if we v:ere friends instead of mere correspondents. How did you ever come to get the nickname of "Scrapper?" It doesn't sound like you at all. You mustbe Irish, eh? I think that Harold Lloyd would send you one of his pictures. Write and ask him. Yes, True Boardman is dead. He died a year ago in Los Angeles, California. He was best known for his work in the "Stingaree" series of films produced by Kalem, and then for his work with Mildred Harris in "The Doctor and The Woman." Hope. — Your letter showed up fairly early this month. I never received that poem you mentioned, so how could I answer it ? That's a good one on the editor. It handed me quite a laugh, Hope. I shall now have something to hold over his head. You mean Ruby de Remer, not Sylvia de Remer. You must have her confused with Sylvia Breamer. "Pals First" was a very .interesting story. It made a good play on the stage, too. "Mickey" was an exceptionally good picture, especially if you happen to know that it lay for two years in the vaults in New York waiting for legal entanglements to be straightened out before it could be released. Compare it with other films produced three years ago, and you will think all the better of it.
