Information, Please The Picture Oracle Answers to Questions of our readers. When the Players Come to New York they like to get as many glimpses as they can of Broadway's night life. Not all of its can 'follow them to the different night clubs and similar places of amusement, and for that reason, we are going to offer the next best thing — an article by Helen Klumph about the places of amusement where, just now, the players in New York are likely to be seen. Some very unusual personality stories are being prepared for our next issue. William H. McKegg has written his "Uncensored Observations" of Pola Negri, which will throAV a good deal of light on the complex nature of that most enigmatic star. Malcolm H. Oettinger has written a story about Aileen Pringle, which is one of the most sparkling pieces of writing we have ever had from him. Helen Klumph has had a most interesting talk with Pauline Frederick, whose sensational season on the stage in Australia and New Zealand has become a matter of theatrical history, and who promises to be more successful than ever on her return to the screen. These are only a few of the features which we will offer next month. There will be a great many others, and we hope that every motion-picture fan will be sure to procure a copy.
