She always seemed just to miss seeing Miss Rubens during her travels. As for Leon Pierre Gendron, he is hardly well known or prominent enough yet to be of story interest to the majority of readers of PicturePlay, and the majority is what we have to aim to please, you know. Perhaps after a while, when he secures more important parts, we shall have a story and picture of him. Alice Terry is five feet three and a half inches and weighs about one hundred and twenty-five pounds ; Leatrice Joy is half feet six and a half inches and weighs about the same; Claire Windsor is five feett six and a half inches and weighs about one hundred and thirty-five pounds ; Betty Blythe ishalf an inch taller than Claire and _ weighs five pounds more ; Anna Q. Nilsson is also five feet seven inches and weighs one hundred and thirtyfive pounds. Mrs. Ruth C. — No, no, no, you should not send me 3'our picture for advice as to your movie chances. In the first place, I never give out advice to screen aspirants, and in the second place no one could tell how you would screen simply by looking at your photo. It is always necessary to call personally at a picture studio, and, if possible, have a test made. Sending photos to directors or other persons in the industry and writing letters would get_you nowhere. But what would be of assistance to you, I am sure, would be a booklet we publish called "Your Chance as a Screen Actor," which we have prepared for those of our readers who are seriously interested in screen acting as a career. After reading that, you would at least have an idea of the requirements, and the obstacles that would have to be overcome. You can get a copy of the booklet by sending twenty-five cents in stamps to the Subscription Department, Street & Smith Corporation, 79 Seventh Avenue, New York City. Girls who wish for screen careers should begin between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two. After that age_ it is difficult getting started, as people _ like their screen heroines young. Since it takes an actress on an average of three years to work up to leading lady or other star parts, you can see the necessity for this. Mildred N— I thought I had said that Shirley Mason and Viola Dana were sisters often enough to have it reach to all corners of the earth, but Well, I say it again. Neither of them uses their family name, which happens to be Flugrath. Tna. — Alice Brady's latest release is "The Leopardess." She is back on the stage again in a play called "Zander the Great." which has made such a hit with New Yorkers that it probably will have a long run. But Alice will not give up the screen. She will do pictures at the same time, making them in and around New York. Alice is one of those persons who feels only comfortablv busv doing things that would send most of us to a rest cure with breakdowns. Just a H. S. Girl. — Call me anything vou like. Agnes. I have been called so many things during my career that I no longer have the courage to express a preference. "Dear Oracle" would do just as well as anything else, but you can leave out the "dear" part, if you think it too familiar for a high-school girl. I can't say right off which actress would write you a personal letter — this corresponding with stars is rather a gamble, you know. Most of the time you pull blanks, but once in a while a fan is lucky enough to get a personal reply from a star, and a specially autographed ohoto. Perhaps you will be lucky. That's all I can say. Yes, you might try Agnes Ayres. She gives a lot of attention to her fan mail, and even has an Agnes Ayres Club in Hollywood. Miss Ayres' address is in this issue. Mary Ann. — Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate them as much as the stars do when they are sincerely given — and I think yours are. William Desmond has had half a dozen accidents in succession during the last few months. He did nothing but break bones, wait for them to mend, thr.i go back ant break them all over again. But now that he has given up serialing for a while and changed to the Universal company to do features, perhaps he has broken the jinx that has pursued him for so long. Gaston Glass was born and educated in Paris, France, and was on the stage and screen in that country for years before he came to America. He accompanied Sarah Bernhardt to this country on one of her tours and liked us so well that he decided to devote his talent to the American public exclusively. Gaston is twenty-seven and unmarried. John Harron has a role in Constance Talmadge's latest "Dulcy." Mrs. D. C. — I'm sorry I can't give you the name of the architect that designed that house in "My Husband's Friends" in which you are so interested. Knowing women (do I hear laughter?) I suppose you won't rest until you track down that particular house, but the only thing I can do is to tell you to write to Carter De Haven, the star of the picture, personally. The house may have been especially constructed for the picture or it may have been a real house loaned by the owner. I didn't see the picture, so I don't know, but I'm sure that Mr. De Haven would be glad to help you out. Being married himself, he no doubt will realize the momentous importance of the question. Catherine. — I should say players do work more than one picture at the same time. This is especially true just now, when all the studios are going full speed, and there seems to be a scarcity of the right kind of experienced talent. It was not uncommon for a player to work in two pictures at once for the same company to which he was under contract. But now some players work simultaneously in two and three pictures, all at different studios, and recentlly Tully Marshall was dividing his time between four productions. Since players, especially the character actors, have to change their make-up for each picture and travel some distance between studios you can imagine how they must work. Also, the mental strain of taking care of several characterizations and keeping them all separate is intense. This condition probably will not last long, but while it continues some of our most prominent players, especially the free-lancers, will not have much time for parties. Beatrice W. R. — No, May Collins has not made any pictures in some time, but she is returning to the screen in a film version of "Caroline," the musical comedy which the Shuberts are producing, and which will star Trini, the Spanish dancer, who has made such a hit with New York theatergoers. Marion A. — In "Tess of the Storm Country," the role of Lloyd Hughes' sister "that died in the end" was played by Gloria Hope, who happens to be Lloyd's wife in real life. The girl who played the vamp in "Mighty Lak' a Rose" was Helene Montrose. Wtk "
