The club has an interesting campaign worked out for the coining year ; any one interested may learn all about it from the secretary, Miss Mabel Hill, 1250 South Normal Avenue, Chico, California. J. M. R. — So you'd like a whole issue devoted to Colleen Moore? That \ ould be nice for her and her admirers, but some of the other stars might object. And how about the readers of Picture-Play who don't care for Colleen? Every one has different tastes, you know. I don't know whether First National (383 Madison Avenue, New York City) would send you a picture of Barbara La Marr or not; you might ask them', however. I'm sorry, I don't know who William Eugene is. The other addresses you ask for are listed below, except Baby Peggy's. I don't know where she can be reached, as she isn't playing in pictures just now. The Four Booters. — What are they, a couple of bootleggers seeing double ? Reginald Denny is married to Irene Haisman. Neither Larry Kent nor Edna Murphy is married. Jack Mulhall is in his thirties, and Conway Tearle is forty-four. A Pentiction, B. C, Fan. — So they need fans even in British Columbia? George Arliss played the titl. role in "Disraeli;" Louise Huff was the heroine. Harry Myers played the lead in "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court." Rosemary Theby also appeared in that picture. M. M. M. Fax.— Why doesn't Mary Miles Minter reduce so she can return to the screen, you. ask. Perhaps she has tried, but it is quite difficult to "come back" successfully after one has once left the movies. Mary Miles Minter's weight in her starry days was one hundred and twelve. I don't suppose she gives out the figures now and, though I have seen her within the past year, I should hesitate to guess — right out in public like this — what she weighs now. James Hamilton, Lexington, Kentucky.— Just a fewr questions to let me know you are still alive ! Very much alive, I should say. I see you like adventure pictures. Herbert Rawlinson was married several years ago to Lorraine Abigail Long ; previous to that, he was married to Roberta Arnold, who is well known on the New York stage. Alice Lake is divorced from Robert Williams. I don't know whether Dick Hatton and "Big Boy" Williams are married or not. The reason you so seldom see pictures of these players published is that there is so Lttle demand for them in magazines. Trilbie. — Aren't you lucky, to have been in Coral Gables last winter? All the shivering Ne\ Yorkers were envious of you ! Fred Niblo directed "Blood and Sand." Howard Livingston did not have a sufficiently important part in that picture to be listed in the cast. Nita Naldi has never been married, so far as I know. Myrtle Stedman is Mrs. Stedman — I don't know what her husband's first name was, nor how long ago the marriage occurred. I suppose you know she has a grown son, Lincoln. J. S. and C. S.— How about P. S.? I don't think Richard Dix played in "Racing Hearts." Agnes Ayres starred in that picture, but I am unable to find out who was her leading man. Pauline Frederick has been working at the F. B. O studios, in "Her Honor the Governor." Laura La Plante is engaged to William Seiter, the director. Most of the stars — particularly the most popular ones, who get hundreds of letters a week — charge a quarter for their photographs. This only covers the cost of sending them — stamps, photomailers, secretary's salary, and so on. No, Betty Compson and her husband are not in Africa, as this goes to press. He, James Cruze, is now engaged in making "Old Ironsides." Frank Young. — Yes, I think "Zander the Great" was filmed near Singletree, Arizona. The leading man was Harrison Ford. A Ronald Colman Club has recently been organized and welcomes any new members. Those interested please write to Robert Buzzard, president, 1410 Main Street, Joplin, Missouri. An Evelyn Brent Fan Club has been formed. For further particulars, address Miss Esther Kling, 366 East 146th Street, New York City. Barby Lou. — You don't need to offer any excuse for propounding your queries on your typewriter. Your letter was very neat and sweet. May I call you Lou? Don't worry — I'd never say I thought Gloria Swanson a knock-out if I didn't really think so. As it happens, I do think so, so that makes everything hunky-dory, as they say in France. Gloria has a secretary who attends to her fan mail. She's awfully busy, you know — yes, both Gloria and the secretary. You may be interested to know — having just recovered from the flu yourself — that our marquise had a bad case of it, but insisted upon finishing her latest film for Famous, "Fine Manners," just the same. Eugene O'Brien is her leading man in that, with Walter Goss, from the Paramount School, playing her brother. Gloria has more friends among the other stars than I could begin to tell you about, but two of them are Lois Wilson and Marion Davies, which shows good taste all round. Gloria lives in her New York apartment when she's working, and spends the rest of her time on her estate on the Hudson. She and "Hank," they tell me, are more in love with each other than ever, which means considerable. A Nebraska Miss. — Why don't you get in touch with Rod La Rocque and ask him just where, in the cornhusking State, he happened to go to school? He was born in Chicago and made his first picture for the old Essanay Company there. Hurrah— he isn't married ! Addresses of Players.
