It was William Farnum and not Dustin who took the dual role in Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities." Susan Shy. — Monroe Salisbury is the gentleman's correct name. He was born in New York. Why don't you carry out 3'our threat and write to him? I'm sure he would be. glad to hear from you. Rae. — Welcome to The Oracle! What has kept you from writing before? Of course you may write again. There is always room for one more. Mary Pickford had the "flu" nearly two years ago, and it has not left any bad after effects. That is Mary Miles Minter's very own hair that ■she wears on the screen. Billie Rhodes was born in San Francisco, California. She is still appearing on the screen. "His Pajama Girl" is her latest feature. Dot. — Edna Mayo is not appearing in any pictures at present. I don't know whether she intends to return to the screen again or not. Time alone will answer that. She is not related to Frank Mayo, the Universal player. No, I never get tired answering questions. I don't have time to be tired. Wheeler Oakman had the leading role opposite Mabel Normand in "Mickey." Lew Cody was the wicked villain in that picture. "The Right to Love" is Mae Murray's current release. Niles Welch is married to Dell Boone, who also appears in various screen productions. The best way to get a photo of Niles is to write to him for one. Why get discouraged? You know the old saying^ "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," still holds good. Ray Fan. — Charles Ray's latest picture is "Forty-five Minutes from Broadway." It has already been released, and will "be followed by Sol Smith Russell's "Peaceful Valley." He was born in Jacksonville, Illinois, in 1891. Abert Ray is not playing in features at the present time. He is devoting his time to directing comedies for First National. "The Kick in High Life," is the name of his latest effort in the directorial line. He was born in New Rochelle, New York, on August 28, 1893. I am sure that both Charles and Albert will send you their photographs if you ask them for one. Margaret Smith. — Of course you can write Pearl White personally. Who is going to stop you, especially when Pearl likes to hear from her screen friends? Pearl was born in Springfield, Missouri, in 1889, so naturally she is an American. Charles Spencef Chaplin was born in Paris, France, in 1889. Don't mention it. No trouble at all. See addresses at the end of this department. Montealm. — Why not write to Charlie and request the picture you want? I think he would send it to you. I personally think that "Stella Maris" was one of the finest, if not the finest, pieces of screen acting that Mary Pickford has ever done. "Poltyanna" was a very close second. Evidently that is the type of picture which sells best for the Fox Film Corporation, so that is probably why they continue to stick to that type of story. Your friend is not working' in pictures any more. Abe and Ike. — Henry Walthall has not deserted the screen for good. He is at present appearing on the stage in Los Angeles, California, in Maude Fulton's new play, "The Humming Bird," and will appear in the screen version of it. I haven't heard whether he will come to New York with the company or not. The reviews on the play give it remarkable notices, and predict a big hit for it, also for Walthall.
