New York Yvonne and Jacqueline Beaucaire. — Your questions were sent in too late for the March issue. They 'have reached me only in time, in fact, to be answered in the June number. I'm not sure that I like being called an "old aig." An egg, yes, a good egg. or even a fresh egg — but not an old egg ! Ben Lyon was christened Benjamin Lyon. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia, about twenty-six years ago. He is five feet eleven inches. The extras playing in a picture are never announced in the cast, and so it is very difficult to find out who they are. See Gloria Fan. So you have twenty-three cats ? No, I wouldn't even want half of them — there's not enough catnip in New York to feed them all. R. H. — I always appreciate any one's sending me information which I am unable to obtain, and I thank you very much for your trouble. Some one i_lse wrote me just before you did, telling me the name of the Pavlowa picture Le Soleil inquired about, and I passed on the information in a recent issue. In case Le Soleil did not see that issue of Picture-Play, the Pavlowa film in question was "The Dumb Girl of Portici." Peggy Madden. — I am delighted that you find my answers more satisfactory than those in some of the other screen magazines — I certainly try hard, and none of us can do more, can we? Dorothy Mackaill is not engaged, and I think has no intention of becoming so at present. (I know her fairly well.) I do not happen to know whether she has any brothers or sisters, as the subject never happened to come up. Miss Mackaill is, as you say, a "refined type of girl." She is quite vivacious and lots of fun, but not loud. She is, I think, much more striking to look at in real life than on the screen. I would be delighted to see a copy of your story. Dorothy's new picture is "The Dancer of Paris" (story by Michael Arlen), and then she plays opposite Richard Barthelmess in "Ranson's Folly." Yes, she lives in Mount Vernon, New York, but I am not permitted, as a rule, to publish players' home addresses. You can reach her, of course, in care of First National. Harriet Dale Richardson. — It takes about three months for an answer to appear in Picture-Play. "The Black Pirate" had its New York premiere on March 8th. Pedro de Cordoba plays in movies only occasionally ; I do not know his address. Lloyd Hughes' address is added to the list at the end of this department. He is married to Gloria Hope. Bert. — Why, Bert, I do believe you're maligning Conrad Nagel. I'm quite sure he doesn't wear a toupee, and that he isn't bald. He just has blond hair, which perhaps doesn't always show up well on the screen. A Fan. — I can never guess who you are from that, can I ? The heroine in "The Thoroughbred" was Virginia Brown Faire. She has also played in "Omar the Tentmaker," "Monte Cristo," "Fightin' Mad," "Vengeance of the Deep," "Storm Swept," and "Cricket on the Hearth." She hasn't appeared much lately. Write her at the address given in the list at the end of this department.
