Advertising Section. 101 Crab Apples. — Genevieve is no relation of Dorothy's. Eddy Polo is his correct name. They are not married. "The Vanishing Dagger" is the latest Polo serial for Universal, Plarold Lloyd is not married, so you see Bebe Daniels can't possibly be his wife. Mary Pickford has been on the stage ever since she could toddle. Your letter wasn't any too long. In fact, I thought it rather short. Elsie M. B. — Both Harry Hilliard and Herbert Rawlinson are working in pictures. Herbert is making a series of short detective stories for the screen, playing the role of Craig Kennedy. Harry Hilliard is not playing with any special company. He works for them all. He has just completed a picture at Universal, with Claire Anderson in the leading feminine role. J. S.— You didn't ask too many questions. Too few, I should say. Ann Little isn't married. The serial "Lightning Bryce" and "The Roaring Road" and "Excuse My Dust," the last two with Wallace Reid, are her latest pictures. She was born in Sisson, California, in 1894. She is five feet six tall, weighs one hundred and twenty-three pounds, and has dark hair and brown eyes. That ought to give you a fair description of her. She was married to Alan Forrest. I. A. D. — Thanks for all the compliments about PicturePlay. The editor puffed all up with pride when I showed him your letter. You will find the addresses you want at the end of The Oracle. Helena Helen. — The curls that Mary wore were made with a curling iron, but the hair grew right into her head. In other words, they were natural. Charles Chaplin was born in Paris in 1889. "Judy of Rogue's Harbor" is Mary Miles Minter's latest picture. She is all that you say she is and more. Inquisitive. — Mary Pickford has to have a secretary to take care of her mail for her. Mary does the dictating and signing, and the secretary attends to the rest. Kathleen O'Connor plays the role of Nell Morgan in "The Midnight Man" with James J. Corbett. Your other questions have been answered. Dark Bob. — I shall be looking forward to that promised fudge. I liked Constance Talmadge very much in "Two Weeks." She is certainly coming along with great strides. Dick Barthelmess, too. You forgot to ask any questions. Couldn't you think of any this time? E. H. — Try any bookstore for those. You must wish something terrible to happen to me, to ask me to name the three greatest actresses. If I should, the other several hundred would be quite peeved, and then I would be in bad. I'll pass that up, as I like this little old world too well to leave it in such a hurry. Anyway, if I did name them, it would be only my opinion, and there would be many other critics who would disagree with me, and now you can see that it would land me in a general fight with critics, actresses, and fans, too. My fingers are crossed ! Mrs. E. E. W. — Albert Roscoe is the young man who played opposite Shirley Mason in "Her Elephant Man." Cutey. — Harrison hasn't any, so I can't tell you who she is.

William Desmond is married to Mary Mclvor. Wanda Hawley is married. Henry is also. Walter McGrail Fan. — "The Black Secret" was the last picture Wallace appeared in. Kenneth Harlan is single.

I have quite a few British correspondents every month, and their letters are always most welcome. Dell Boone is Mrs. Niles Welch in private life. His latest picture is "The Luck of Geraldine Laird," in which he plays opposite Bessie Barriscale. That's hard to say. Blonde and Brunette. — That is Richard Barthelmess' correct name.
