"Red=hot Tires" — Warner. Intended for high-speed comedy, but the featured players, Monte Blue and Patsy Ruth Miller, aren't up to it. Full of automobiles and accidents. "Son of His Father, A" — Paramount. Harold Bell Wright story of sister who visits brother on Western ranch and finds him tied up with band of smugglers. Bessie Love and Warner Baxter. "Thank You" — Fox. Propaganda against the usual treatment of ministers in small towns, with Alec Francis playing a saintly old minister who has rather a bad time of it, and with George O'Brien and Jacqueline Logan furnishing the love element. "Tower of Lies, The"— Metro-Goldwyn. Old story of mortgage on the farm. Mediocre picture with Lon fllin Listen in on WHT every Tuesday niffht P a n \ from 7 to 7:3° every Friday night from D nilv 10 to 10:30. central standard time. Loftis Bros. & Co.'s hour of music. Chaney good as old Swedish father who loses mind and imagines himself an emperor and his lost daughter, Norma Shearer, an empress. "Tracked in the Snow Country" — Warner. Some excellent acting by Rin-tin-tin, the dog star, and some not so good by David Butler and Mitchell Lewis. "What Fools Men"— First National. Rather a silly film in which Shirley Mason is a spoiled daughter and Lewis Stone an unreasonable father who doesn't know how to handle her. Barbara Bedford also featured. "White Desert" — M e t r o-Goldwyn. Claire Windsor roughing it in the snow country, with Pat O'Malley as the big-hearted Irish hero. "Wild, Wild Susan"— Paramount. Bebe Daniels as a little hoyden chased about by Rod La Rocque. Dull going for a long picture. Information, Please Continued from page 102 An Old Olive Thomas Fan. — I've no idea where photos of Olive Thomas can be obtained now. Photos are sent out for publicity purposes, and obviously there would be no one interested in getting; publicity for a star after her death. I doubt if Jack Pickford has any extra ones of her;' he probably has only a few that he wishes to keep. Gordon P. Corliss. — You write such an entertaining letter, it's a great pleasure to hear from you. It's really too bad that The Oracle has to hide behind so much mystery, but that seems to be an answerman tradition. Carol Dempster was born in California, January 16, 1902. She was formerly a dancer on the stage, having studied under Ruth St. Denis and toured with the Denishawn troupe. She^ has auburn hair and brown eyes. She Has never been married. Her new picture is "That Rovle Girl." Lloyd Hughes was born in Bisbee, Arizona, October 21, 1897, and educated in Los Angeles. He is six feet tall and is a blond, with gray eyes. He and Gloria Hope were married" on June 30, 1921. Yes, your friend Nat Pendleton played in Irene Bordoni's show, "Naughty Cinderella," this past season, and has been giving an excellent performance, as a prize fighter. Did you see 'the play when you were in New York? Malcolm MacGregor has been working almost continuously in pictures. Of course, "The Vanishing American," in which he had a large role, was months in the making — that_ may account for your having seen him in so few films of late. Also, like most players who free-lance, he plays in many films, made by the smaller companies, which are not shown in first-run houses, but only in the little neighborhood theaters — the type of theater which plays serials. As this goes to press, Malcolm is finishing work in "Flaming Waters," an F. B. O. production. Incidentally, Malcolm is an alumnus of Yale. I don't know whether Lloyd Hughes is a college man or not. I haven't heard what Johnny Walker has been doing since he left F. B. O. How was your college production of "The Poor Nut?" I thought the show in New York was very amusing, and quite appropriate for a college dramatic club to produce. The Green Imp. — I don't see how— you can still be green after all the questions I have answered for you in the past. "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" was made so long ago that I have no means of getting the cast; I do not even know who produced it. "Way Down East" was made about five years ago. Yes, it is unquestionably a better picture than "The Rejected Woman." Why that comparison? "Way Down East" was a D. W. Griffith superspecial, "The Rejected Woman" just an ordinary program picture like thousands of others. Virginia Lee Corbin freelances, and it is quite difficult to keep track of her. As this goes to press, she is working at Famous Players' Western studio in "Hands Up," a Raymond Griffith picture. Whether she will still be at that studio when this magazine goes on the newsstands is a question I am unable to answer. Madge Bellamy is under contract to Fox. Madge Evans plays only in an occasional picture. I don't "know where she lives. Dickie of Providence. — Shall we call it providential that you should write to me? Ronald Colman is English ; he doesn't give his birth date, and I do not know his exact age. He is about thirty-four, however. He was divorced about a year ago from Thelma Colman. John Gilbert was born in Logan, Utah, in 1895 ; Richard Barthelmess in the same year, in New York City. That is Dick's real name, and so far as I know, John Gilbert uses his own name also. Agnes Ayres was born in Chicago, but doesn't say when. All these players, with the exception of Colman, are of course Americans, as you can tell by their birth' places. Curious Fanny. — There's just one way to find out things, isn't there? That's to ask. The heroine in "The Marriage Circle" was Florence Vidor. Winifred Bryson is Mrs. Warner Baxter. Elaine _Hammerstein played in "Ladies of Leisure." Yes, Ricardo Cortez would be considered one of the newer stars. Edith Storey has long since retired from the screen, but I don't know what she has been doing since. T. M. Wise. — You evidently don't feel that you are wise enough or you wouldn't be asking questions. No, Mary Astor is not married ; she is under contract to First National and works sometimes in the East at the Biograph studios, sometimes at the United studios in Hollywood. As this goes to press, she is in New York. I don't think she has any sisters.
