The Picture Oracle Continued from page 88 Sister. — Betty Compson was born in in this country Salt Lake City and was in vaudeville before she went into pictures. She was in comedies on the screen for a while and then made thrilling Westerns, riding horses and shooting and doing all sorts of stunts. Then she made "The Miracle Man" and a name for herself at the same time, and now is a star, with "Prisoners of Love" as her first big picture made in a stellar capacity. Nancy. — It was Harold Goodwin who was the gawky boy who drove the laundry wagon in "Suds." Yes, Mary Pickford is really a wonderful business, woman ; she has to be! Bebe isn't married, and neither is Mary Miles Minter; somebody was just kidding you. Theda Bara is married, though — that's the only one of the reports about her that is true. She isn't _ dead and she hasn't gone to Egypt to live in the shadow of the Sphinx. Her name really is Leatrice Joy — not Beatrice ; I guess she spells it that way because that's what she was named. Alice Brady will be seen on the screen again before long. Those are her own clothes that she wears, and she couldn't possibly give them away at the end of a picture, because she neds to wear them again. Her husband is appearing on the stage now, but not with her. California n.— It was Matt Moore who played with Marion Davies in "The Dark Star" and "Getting Mary Married." Yes, Norman Kerry married — and she was a widow — you were right and you win the bet.^ Of course I'd like some of the fudge — it's always welcome. Yes, I can remember the davs when a screen star wouldn't acknowledge^ that he was married, but fortunately times have changed, and nowthey're oroud of it; being married doesn't affect their popularity at all. From Dixie. — Elsie Ferguson went to Japan for a vacation and hasn't returned yet; she is going to make pictures again when she gets back, so you needn't lament her as one lost forever. "Lady Rose's Daughter" was the last picture she made before she left. Pesgy Pearce was bom at Long Beach, California, in 1896, and has blond hair and blue eyes. You're wrong about Louise Glaum ; she was born Baltimore, to be exact. She has brown hair and hazel .eyes. Maybe some day she'll make the countrymaiden type of picture, but I doubt it; the sort of thing she does now is too popular. Her latest is "The Leopard Woman." Dancer. — Ruth St. Denis' school is near Los Angeles, and you could probably get in even though you aren't a good dancer ; you see, if all the people who came to her were good dancers there wouldn't be any need of her teaching them. Many of her pupils go into vaudeville and many of them go into the movies; Margaret Loomis and Carol Dempster arc two of them who have made good. J. E. R.— -Dorothy de Vore served quite an apprenticeship in Christie comedies, but now has made her way out of them and into straight drama by playing opposite Charles Ray in "Forty-five Minutes From Broadway.',' Lots of girls have broken into stardom in that way, and some have been quite content to work up into being leading ladies. Bebe Daniels, Gloria Swanson, Alice Lake, Betty Compson, and Mary Thurman are a few of them — is that -.ncouragement enough? Maude. — Llelcn Jerome Eddy played in "Aliss Hobbs" with Wanda Hawley and was very funny indeed. Yes, ZaSu Pitts really got married, just after she was given a starring contract by the Smith Syndicate. I don't know when she'll go to work. Ann May lives at the Studio Club, but she has a car; of course, they don't mind her keeping it. Roscoe Arbuckle is married to Minta Durfee, an actress. Tommy Meiehan's wife was an actress, too. Viola Dana is not married. Shirley Mason is — to Bernard Durning. C. C. C. — Florence Vidor is King Vidor's wife, not his sister, and she was born in Texas. So was he. He is now directing a picture for the Cathrine Curtis Corporation, but he has his own studio. Miriam Cooper was in "Intolerance," in the episode called "Tbe Mother and the Law " She has recently appeared in the productions directed by her husband, Raoul Walsh. Start the New Year Right!
