C. — Arlinc still plays in pictures. Elsie Ferguson is not what you would call the "pretty girl" type. She represents what the artists might call refined and beautiful womanhood. Marguerite Clark's husband is not in pictures, and never was. He was a lieutenant in the United States army. Matt Moore is not Kathlyn Williams' husband. She is married to Charles Eyton, manager of the Lasky Studios. Mary Pickford has no children. Ruth Roland is working on a new serial for Pathe. Herbert Heyes is playing the male lead opposite her. She is working in California. Blondie From Ne wburyport. — Yours is the first from Newburyport. Nazimova is always a delight to me in her pictures. "The Heart of a Child" is her latest. Richard Barthelmess is with D. W. Griffith. So you have given up Eugene O'Brien as your favorite for Ralph Graves? Rather fickle, aren't you? Ralph is not married. Herbert Rawlinson recently played in "Passers-Fy," a Blackton picture. The Market Booklet gives a complete list of all the motionpictures companies in the United States who are in the market for scenarios. Elsie B. Good. — No, the "Birth of a Nation" did not have the greatest collection of stars ever assembled in one picture. For stars and leading artists, Griffith's "Intolerance" had them all beat. The stars he had in this production were : Mildred Harris, Mae Marsh, Lillian Gish, Miriam Cooper, Alma Rubens, Bessie Love, Pauline Starke, Robert Harron, George Walsh, Constance Talmadge, and Elmo Lincoln. Just think of it ! Eleven present-day stars in one production ! To say nothing of such leading artists as Margery Wilson, Eugene Pallette, Tully Marshall, Elmer Clifton, Alfred Paget, Seena Owen, George Seigman, George Fawcett, Eric von Stroheim, and Winifred Westover. The leading lights of today are the stars of to-morrow, so one would naturally expect that some day we will have another picture with just as many stars in it, and just as many leading people. See addresses at the end of this department. Lottie C. — Douglas MacLean appeared in both "The Hun Within" and "Mirandy Smiles." Ashton Dearholt appeared opposite Ruth Clifford in "The Cabaret Girl," and Albert Ray had the leading male role opposite her in "The Game's Up." A Little Girl. — That is her real name. May answers all the letters that she can. I like May very much on the screen, and off, too. I'm not angry a bit. Each studio in Los Angeles has own casting director, who hires the people for each production. Lillian P. — James Kirkwood played opposite Mary Pickford in "The Eagle's Mate," Eileen Percy opposite Douglas Fairbanks in "Down to Earth." Richard Barthelmess is twenty-four years old. No, he isn't married, or wasn't when this was written. Leon Griffin. — You certainly have some collection of photographs from your favorites. Dustin Farnum was born at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, in 1874. J Warren Kerrigan was born in Louijville, Kentucky, in 1889. Jennie C. — What do you mean — tell you a picture of May Allison's looks? May Allison is five feet five inches tall, weighs one hundred and twenty-five pounds, has light complexion with blue eyes, and golden hair. That's the best picture I can write you of her looks. Geokgiana B. — Look for addresses at the end of The Oracle. Ex-Oracle. — Yes, the stars write to the fans, but they cannot write to them all. They write to just as many as they can. No, that isn't her reel name, but her real name. "What's Your Hurry?" is the title of Wallace Reid's latest picture. Mary Pickford is Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks. The picture of The Oracle was published in a recent issue of Picture-Play with said Oracle's honest-to-goodness name underneath it. You didn't expect to find the picture with "The Picture Oracle" printed underneath, did you? I won't tell you whether it was a woman's picture or a man's. That would give away part of my identity at least. Don't know a Viola Vere. Do you mean Viola Vale? You might be able to get a picture of Harold Lockwood from the Metro Pictures Corporation, New York City. Several concerns have them for sale. Look them up in the magazine. Brown Eyes. — Norma Talmadge is of American descent and Eugene O'Brien is of Irish descent. What does O'Brien sound like? No, I don't know that Clara Kimball Young ever gave one of her dresses to a fan who asked her for one. If she did, it would only take one morning's mail to clean out her wardrobe completely, and Clara has some wardrobe. She is not married to any one. Miss V. Cook. — You will find all the addresses you've asked for at the end of this department, and a lot more besides. Teddy. — If you knew all the stars, I am sure that you would like them just as well as I do. Ashton Dearholt isn't working at present in any picture. He inherited a lot of money, and is taking a vacation. Write to Herbert Howe in care of PicturePlay. How are all the oil fields in Taft. Miss I. L. — Thanks for your letter. Hope you will find the Market Booklet as helpful as I think you will. Juliet Sheldby. — William Russell was featured in the American Film Company's production of "Where the West Begins." Doris Lee and Doris May are one and the same. She began using the latter name when she was first costarred in pictures with Douglas MacLean. She played in support of Charles Ray in "Hay Foot, Straw Foot." May Allison was born in 1898. Jack Pickford is twenty-three, and Charles Ray is twentyeight. A Toronto Reader. — Bert Lytel is married. Mary Miles Minter looks just the same off the screen as she does on. Jack Pickford is married to Olive Thomas. Mildren Harris Chaplin is far from dead. She is busy at work on her pictures for the First National. You didn't ask many questions for all the space it took you to write your letter. What was the trouble, did you run out of them? Elsie. — Write to the stars themselves for their pictures. It is best to inclose a quarter with your request to cover the cost of the photo and mailing. _ Madge Evans isn't working on any picture at present. She was born in New York City in 1909. Of course the stars care to receive letters from the fans. It is the only way they have of telling how their pictures are liked. Of course you may write again. There's always room for one more in The Oracle. C. B. — Vivian Martin was born near Grand Rapids, Michigan. See end of The Oracle for her address.
