"Nature's Way to Happinesi 1 S29 Springfield The flnrraco. Dept. 490 Anita Building We. Newark. N. J. "New Commandment, The"— First National. Jumbled, silly picture, involving a match-making aunt, a rebellious nephew, an aristocratic artist's model, and finally the war. A fine cast, however, with Blanche Sweet and Ben Lyon featured. "Pace That Thrills, The"— First National. False, silly story of life of amoving-picture star, with Ben Lyon miscast in the leading role. "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 Chaney good as old Swedish father who loses mind and imagines himself an emperor and his lost daughter, Norma Shearer, an empress. "Unchastened Woman, The"— Chadwick. Badly directed and badly acted film in which Theda Bara makes unworthy return to screen. "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. "Woman of the World, A"— Paramount. Clowning and drama hopelessly mingled in clumsy film of a bejeweled countess, played by Pola Negri, who comes from Riviera to small United States town and falls in love with strait-laced district attorney. Information Please Continued from page 102 A Buck Jones Fan. — I don't need to ask what your hobby is — I know you approve of athletics ! Buck Jones weighs one hundred and seventy-three pounds ; he doesn't give his age. Yes, he is an excellent boxer. George O'Brien was born in San Francisco in 1900 ; he is five feet eleven inches and weighs one hundred and seventy-six pounds. As to whether he or Buck is the "better-built man," that probably depends on one's standards in physique. Buck is three-fourths of an inch taller, and weighs three pounds less. Fred Thomson is about thirty-five ; he is six feet three inches, but I don't know his weight. Edith Johnson was born in Rochester, New York, in 1895. She is five feet four inches, and weighs one hundred and thirty-five pounds. Lois Wilson is about twenty-five, I should think, but she doesn't give her age. She is five feet five and a half inches, and weighs one hundred and twenty pounds. Her address is below. I don't know where William Duncan can be reached. However, I remember that he was a member of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, so perhaps you could reach him in care of the club. As to who is the best rider on the screen, that is unquestionably merely a matter of opinion. Shortee. — I'm glad you like my pages ; bouquets hit the spot, on a bleak day. Anna May Wong was born and educated in Los Angeles ; she has played in pictures about five years. She isn't married. She is five feet four and a half inches tall, and weighs one hundred and twenty pounds. Of course her hair is black, and her eyes are brown. Yes, it is too bad we don't see her on the screen oftener, but the reason is obvious, as only certain types of films have roles that would suit a little Chinese girl. Her recent pictures are "Fifth Avenue" ?nd a Fox special, "A Trip to Chinatown." A Jones Fan. — I couldn't get your answer in the magazine for the date you asked ; this is the earliest possible moment. Most of the information you wish is given in the reply to a Buck Jones Fan. I have included his address in the list at the end of the department. He is married and has a little daughter, but I don't know his wife's name. I suppose he will send you his photo if you ask him for it. Buck's hobby is police dogs, and I understand that he has a great kennel of them. I will tell the editor you wish a picture of him to be published in Picture-Play. Skeezix. — Well, I certainly won't scold you for calling me "genius," even if it isn't a "pet" name. I'd rather have that than petting any time ! Old films, after they have been shown all around, are stored, I suppose, by the producers, and frequently revived years later. I don't know just what is done with negatives that are completely worn out. The addresses you ask for have been included in the list at the end of this department — except that of William Otis ; I don't know where he can be reached. No, I don't think Marion MacDonald is any relation to Katherine ; I suppose you know that Mary MacLaren is Katherine's sister. Don Alvarez has only recently come before the public, and I don't know a great deal about him. I think he is Spanish, however. No, he did not play in "Argentine Love." The leads in "The Purple Riders" were played by Joe Ryan and Carol Halloway. Well, you have part of my description right, but I won't tell you which part. "Keep 'em guessing" is my motto. Gee. — So you think my address is long? Then you ought to see my whiskers ! All my whiskers, if laid end to end, would reach from — oh, I don't know, I don't feel just like laying whiskers end to end today. Besides, it's such a silly thing to do, don't you think? Jack Pickford is married to Marilyn Miller, a musical-comedy star. Yes, Walter Miller is married ; his wife is a professional dancer, I believe, whose name I can't recall. He doesn't give his age. I should write to Fred Thomson, if I were you, to get a picture of Silver King. The girl in "Parisian Nights" was Elaine Hammerstein. She has been making "The Checkered Flag," a Henry Ginsberg production. I don't know where she can be reached, as many of the small independent companies do not have studios of their own, but merely rent studio space for the making of each picture. Yes, William Boyd was the player you mention in "The Road to Yesterday." I have added the addresses you wish to the list at the end of the department — at least, all of them that I know.
