Picture-Play Magazine (Mar-Aug 1921)

Advertising Section 109 Evelyn B. — Write to the editor about the interviews you would like to see in Picture-Play. He attends to them. Raisin Jack. — I've been pretty busy, as always, so naturally you didn't see me at the party. If you had, you wouldn't have known who I was, so what's the difference? If I hadn't been in the best of humor when I received your letter, I certainly would have been by the tim <: 1 finished reading it. You certainly radiate cheerfulness. Eugene O'Brien is starring for Selznick. Perhaps he has been too busy to write. Better luck next time. His latest picture is called "Worlds Apart." Olive Thomas' death was due to accidental poisoning. O. M. B. — Actresses do not discard their clothes after each picture. They keep them to wear again or have them changed about. They really never get through with them, as there will always be some kind of a part they will be useful for. Theda Bara is rumored engaged to a Fox director. She is not in pictures at the present time. Anita Stewart is Mrs. Rudolph Cameron. She was born in Brooklyn, New York, in i8g6. She is working for Louis B. Mayer, and her films are released by the First National. Gloria Swanson is Mrs. Herbert Somborn. Her baby is named after her. Dimples. — You say Henry Walthall is a cousin of yours? You ought to know more about him than I do if such is the case. He is not in pictures at the present time, but touring the country in the play "Would You?" which was formerly called "Taken In." He started off on his tour with Ibsen's "Ghosts," but switched after a few months. His wife, Mary Charleson, is playing the feminine leads with him. William Desmond is married and has a daughter.

She appears in "The Oath," a First National picture, and "Temple Dusk," a Metro production. Colleen Moore Inquirer. — Colleen Moore is not related to the Moore brothers, Tom, Owen, Matt, and Joe. That is her professional name. Her correct name is Kathleen Morrison. You will have to write to her personal^ for one of her photographs. I can't send you one. Sennett Fan.— "A Small Town Idol" is the latest feature to be turned out by the Mack Sennett studio, and, incidentally, is his first release for the Associated Exhibitors. Ben Turpin has a prominent part in this and contributes his share to the fun. "Love, Honor, and Behave" was his last picture for the First National. Lewis Te. C— You will find the addresses you desire at the end of this department._ Anne Luther is not working on any picture at the present time. Blue Eyes. — Yes, I'm always glad to have new comers. Anita Stewart has no children. Her husband was a leading man, but he is now her business manager. Yes, I like her, too. "Sowing the Wind" is the title of her latest picture to be released. Miss Marie C. — You failed to inclose a stamp with your request for a personal reply, so 1 am answering your letter in this department. Eugene O'Brien was born in Denver, Colorado, in 1884. Clara Kimball Young was born in Chicago, Illinois. You must write to them personally regarding that, as that is out of my line. You will find their addresses at the end of this department. Tom Sawyer. — "The Lost City" was an animal serial produced by the Warner Brothers at the Selig Zoo in Los Angeles, California. Juanita Hansen was the star. She is still in pictures, and is making serials for Pathe. Her latest picture is called "The Yellow Arm." Marguerite Courtot and Warner Oland are also in the cast. George Cheseboro has been supporting Texas Guinan in her films. Frank Clark is an old-timer at the film game and has appeared with many of the leading companies, and with the old Selig company in the old days. Yes, the actors really get as close to the lions as you see them in the pictures. They just have to take those chances, that's all. The Bebe Daniels Worshiper. — Often, before a picture is really started, they change the cast, and that is probably what happened in your case. They may have a picture all cast, and even started, when one of their players will be taken ill, and some one have to be substituted in the part and all scenes retaken in which the unfortunate player appeared. Whoever told you that that was Theda Bara's son liked to listen to his or her own music. Theda has no children, so you can use your own judgment when you meet that party again. All addresses at the end of The Oracle. E. K. — If you did take a trip down to my office to find out what I looked like, you would only be wasting your time, as no one in the whole place knows who I am with the exception of the editor, and he's afraid to tell.
