Agnes Ayres' eyes are blue-gray. Gloria Swanson's most recent productions are "Her Husband's Trademark," "Her Gilded Cage," "The Impossible Airs. Bellew," and "His American Wife." Irene S. — I'm getting to be quite a referee. Almost every day I get at least one hectic appeal to settle a life-and-death argument about the movies. No, Helen Ferguson is not related to Mabel Julienne Scott. The nearest they got to it was facing each other in the gallery of Picture-Play for February. And Alary Pickford has not bobbed her hair. She arranged her curls in that bobbed-hair effect long before short tresses became popular. Cullen Landis' hair is naturally curly ; I'm sure he'd be heartbroken if he thought that you ever suspected him of deliberately curling it. Cullen is not of the clan of male permanent-wavers. Jennie E. — So Lon Chaney is your favorite actor? It's rather unusual to get enthusiastic letters about the character actors — most of the fans, especially the girls, get all thrilled only about the young and handsome matinee idols. Well, Mr. Chaney was born in Colorado Springs in 1883. He went on the stage as a dancing comedian, and also directed and produced for a while. In 1912 he made his debut in pictures — as a slapstick comedian. Now, of course, everybody recognizes him as among the greatest character actors, especially in weird and gruesome roles. "A Blind Bargain" is the latest picture in which he appears. He gives a pleasant little performance of an ape man that will make you shiver for a whole week after seeing it. We expect to have a story on Mr. Chaney soon, so watch for it. T. B. — That report that Barbara Bedford and Irvin Willat were married was a mistake. Air. Willat directed Barbara in several pictures, and they are very good friends, but as for being married — well, Barbara is married to Albert Roscoe, the actor, and the wedding took place on April 26, 1922, if you are strong for details. Lucy. — Thanks for the Christmas card, Lucy. It was awfully kind of you to remember me. Alary Pickford was married to Owen Aloore before she became Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks. Bebe Daniels is not married to Jack Dempsey, nor to any one else at present. The rumors about Bebe's engagements have been rather dormant lately, and she doesn't have to spend most of her time denying matrimonial intentions. I am sending the casts you want by mail, as they are too long to print here. Dimples. — I 'bet you are small, and have brown curly hair and red cheeks. How do I know? Well, I can't imagine a girl named "Dimples" looking any other way. Amiright? Forrest Stanley was the handsome Charles Brandon in "When Knighthood Was in Flower," with Alarion Davies. Jacqueline Logan has auburn hair and dark-blue eyes. She has been in pictures ahout two years, and has never played anything but important parts and leading roles. How did she do it? She came from the Follies. BirLir Ann. — Just to fool you, I am not going to throw your letter in the waste basket — I wouldn't anvhow. Pauline Garon is not married. William Duncan and Edith Johnson have left Vitagraph and are going to make some serials for the Universal Company. The addresses you want are in this issue, in the usual place — which is at the end of The Oracle. Eileex. — I don't know why you haven't seen Alonte Blue lately. He has been working right along. But don't miss these when thev come out: "Brass" and "Alain Street." be cause Alonte plays in both of them. Air. Blue — we're getting formal now — was -born in Indianapolis, Indiana, on January 11, 1890. He was on the stage in vaudeville for two years, then went to work with D. W. Griffith as an extra, and has been making pictures ever since. Kansas Suxflower. — Both "Riders of the Purple Sage'' and "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" have been filmed, the former by Fox in 1918 and the latter by Goldwyn in 1920. Shannon Da}' has been in pictures about two years, and was in the Ziegfeld Follies before that. Shannon is a free-lance, and she has not made man} pictures recently, so that is why you do not see her more often. No, Bebe Daniels does not play in Western pictures often — Bebe is one of the screen's most decorative creations, so the producers probably figure it would be a shame to waste her in rough Western clothes. "North of the Rio Grande" was about the only Western Bebe made that I can remember. Since she left Aletro, Alice Lake has only appeared in a few pictures. You will be able to see her soon in "The Spider and the Rose," in which she plays opposite Gaston Glass. Cherry. — I'm sure that Richard Dix would blush if he could read all your ardent ravings. But I suppose you wouldn't care — you mean them, don't you? It is true that Richard is under contract to Goldwyn. and it is also true that he sometimes makes pictures for other companies. Whenever a producer has a certain actor in mind for a role, and that actor is tied up with another company, it is sometimes possible to secure him from the company for just one picture, provided the actor is not doing anything at the time for his own company. This is the case with several of the Goldwyn players, notably Richard Dix and Claire Windsor. The Goldwyn studio is the best address for Air. Dix, 'because he stays at the other studios usually only for the shooting of one picture. I am sure that he would send you a photograph, especially if he knew how much it would mean to you. F. S. R— Glad you find The Oracle interesting. That is praise enough for me. So people keep pestering you a'bout going into the movies? Well, every one should know by this time that just being prettv is not sufficient cause for running off to Hollywood. There are_ so many qualities that are far more important, that most people never think of. Five feet seven is rather tall for a girl with movie ambitions, though several stars are that height, notably Katherine AlacDonald, Barbara La Alarr, Nita Naldi, and Bettv Blythe. Five feet three seemed to be the ideal height for a screen actress with a weight of about one hundred and fifteen to one hundred and twenty pounds, but now, with so many statuesque girls making good, and stories calling for other types than the sweet little ingenue, the tide seems to be changing and the tall .girls are having their chance. So if your height is the only thing that is keeping you back, forget it." I think, though, that it would be a good idea for you to read our booklet, "Your Chance as a Screen Actor," before making any plans. When you have finished that, you will know pretty well whether or not it would be worth while to try. The booklet costs twenty-five cents, and you can get a copy by sending to the Subscription Department, Street & Smith Corporation, 79 Seventh Avenue, New York City.
