Ferne Kaltreider. — I'm afraid you want this department to be just as thrilling to read as a telephone directory — give you all the addresses of players that I can, you ask! Since there are more than two thousand of them in the movies, you can see what a job that would be! However, most of the more important ones who have permanent addresses are listed in the column at the foot of this department. Clara Bow had her first chance in pictures by way of a beauty contest four or five years ago. She first attracted real notice in "Down to the Sea in Ships;" she is now under contract to Famous Players. She was born in Brooklyn, I believe, and is about twenty. She is not married. Pola Negri is about thirty. Edna Flugfath is the third sister in the Viola Dana, Shirley Mason family. And, bv the way, their real name is Plug-rath, not Mason. The "most common" wav, as you put it. of getting into the movies is to struggle along for years as an extra, hoping to get a chance to show what you can do, and half starving most of the time. Winning a beauty contest is" the most convenient short cut, if that is possible. Lois Moran had appeared in the Paris ballet and in several films abroad before returning to this country upon the completion of her education in Europe. A friend, realizing her screen possibilities, took her to see Samuel Goldwyn, who signed her to a short contract. Lois, of course, is a most distinctive type of beauty — that always helps, after one has succeeded in being noticed. Lois is now with Famous Players.

Sylvia of the Woods. — Just a wild woman, I suppose. I was about to suggest that you burn some of the wood to keep warm, but I see that you live in California, where the chambers of commerce won't let it get cold. Nazimova makes only an occasional picture, and, also occasionally, she appears on the stage. Her latest film appeared two years ago, and was called "My Son." Dorothy Dalton's film contract with Famous Players expired several years ago and was not renewed. She was married about that time to Arthur Hammerstein and, except for a venture on the stage in a play that was not successful, has been in retirement ever since. Agnes Ayres is seen on the screen only occasionally ; her latest appearance was in Rudolph Valentino's last film, "The Son of the Sheik." About a year ago she played in "The Awful Truth" and "Morals for Men." Ann Forrest has not made any pictures, to my knowledge, since "If Winter Comes." Dick Reuther. — Now don't apologize for asking questions. I must have something to write about in these columns — though if fans don't stop forming correspondence clubs, after a while I'll just have to hand this department over to them. Franklin Farnum has not appeared on the screen in several years, so far as I know, and I've no idea where you could reach him. Robert Ellis still plays in pictures now and then, and sometimes he directs them. Most of his recent films have been made by smaller companies and are not shown in the big picture houses. In the past year he has played in "Speed," "Perils of the Sea," "Defend Yourself," and "The Northern Code." I believe Mr. Ellis can always be reached at the Motion Picture Directors' Association, Los Angeles. Addresses of Players. Buster Collier, Alyce Mills, Raymond Hatton, Theodore Roberts, Laska Winter.
