Marie of St. Paul. — How you do like to make me work, asking me the addresses of free-lance players who don't stay put at any one studio ! Constance Bennett retired from the screen upon her m.arriage two years ago to Philip Plant. I've no idea what her address is. For Anita Stewart, just Hollywood, California, is all I can suggest. That address should reach almost any well-known player. Try Johnnie Walker at the Columbia Studio, 1438 Cower Street, Hollywood. If Lon Chancy and Jack Holt did not send their pictures when you wrote, that apparently means that they do not answer their fan mail. Harrison Ford was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and is in his late thirties. He was once on the stage, and in his early screen career was leading man for the Talmadges. He is married to Beatrice Prentice. Eugene O'Brien never answers his fan mail, so his fans have told me.
Miss 1927. — Just a modern girl ! Owen Aloore, after his divorce from Mary Pickford, married Kathryn Pcrrw Clara Bow uses her real name, I think, and I believe IMarceline Day does, also. Alarceline is not married. Her next picture is "Romance," in which Ramon Novarro is starred. Colleen Moore's new one is "Nau,ght_\ But Nice."
Beryl. — You'll be glad to know that your favorite, Cullen Landis, appears in Tom Meighan's new picture, "We're All Gamblers."
LiGHTXiXG. — -You won't have to strike in the same place — I'll answer your questions the first time. The principals in "Forbidden Cargo" were Evelyn Brent, Robert Ellis, and Boris Karlofi^. In "Broken Laws," the players were Mrs. Wallace Reid, Percy Alarmont, Ramsaye ^^'allace. Jacqueline Saunders, \'irginia Lee Corbin, Arthur Rankin, and the two children, Pat Moore, and Jane Wray.
Daddy's Girl. — To think of anybody keeping a file of information about screen players when he doesn't have to ! You do like to work, don't you? Victor \"arconi was born in Hungary, March 31, 1896. Claire Windsor was born in Cawker Citv, Kansas, in 1897 ; Conrad Nasel, Keokuk, Iowa, March 16, 1897; Douglas Fairbanks in Denver, May 22, 1883 ; George O'Brien in San Francisco, in 1900. Evelyn Brent is married to B. P. Fineman, but at this writing, has just begun suit for divorce. Sorry, I don't know the name of Lillian Rich's husband, nor of Malcolm McGregor's wife. Malcolm has a six}'ear-old daughter named Joan. The part of Willozvdean in "Summer Bachelors" was pla3-ed by Leila Hyams.
.Audrey. — In answer to your very interesting letter, I'll gladden your heart by telling you that William Haines is not married. Joan Crawford is a brunette, five feet four in height. Her first screen role was in "I'll Tell the World" — she was then known as Lucille Le Seuer. Since
then she has played in "Sally, Irene and Mary," "Old Clothes," "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, "Paris," "The Taxi Dancer," "The Understanding Heart," "The Unknown," "Spring Fever," and ''Twelve Allies Out," John Gilbert's new picture. I don't know how many Charleston steps she knows — the Charleston is somewhat pa.ssc here in America. Helene Costello is rising steadih' to screen prominence ; her forte is light comed)-, which doesn't give her the opportunity for big specials such as Dolores has had. Helene has played quite a few leads — in "Ranger of the Big Pines," "Wet Paint," opposite Raymond Griffith, "The Broncho Twister," opposite Tom Mix, and in "While London Sleeps," a RinTin-Tin film. Do write again.
A F.\N" OF .\ll the Stars. — It must keep you busy, doing all that fanning! Donald Keith was born in Boston twent.vfivc years ago ; he is five feet ten inches tall. James Hall was born October 22, 1900, in Dallas, Texas. He is five feet eleven, and weighs one hundred and fiftysix pounds. George Lewis was born in Mexico City about twenty-four years ago. I don't doubt that you will get your wish of seeing Raymond Keane grow more and more popular. He worked for months in Emor) Johnson's new aviation film. Joan Crawford was horn in San Antonio, Texas, and is in her early twenties. She is five feet four, and weighs one hundred and ten.
S. A. J. — It is customary to inclose a quarter with a request for a star's photograph. Write Claire Windsor at the Aletro-Goldwyn Studio — address at the end of this department. She has left M.-G.M. but they will no doubt forward the letter to her. Claire was born in 1897 ; she is five feet six and one half in height.
Valaria. — The troubles a poor answer man does have, trying to keep track of the addresses of free-lance players! At last accounts Betty Compson was working at the Metro-Goldvvyn Studio in John Gilbert's "Twelve Miles Out," but by the time this gets into print she'll probably be somewhere else, so what is the poor Oracle to do? A letter addressed to Hollywood, California, would probably reach her, however. Betty is five feet two, and is in her late twenties. Just address your "What the Fans Think" letter to Picture Play — address on Contents page.
Marglterite Mitchell. — Much as I like to see newcomers succeed in the movies, the}' do make things hard for an answer man. For instance — Ruth Handforth. You know more aibout her than I do, because I had never even heard of her. Oscar Shaw is a musical-comedy player, and appears on the screen only occasionally. He is a tail brunet. You can reach him in care of Charles Dillingham, Gaiety Theater, New York City. Jacqueline Logan has signed with Cecil De Mille. I suppose you read of Einar Hanson's death several months ago. Anna Q. Nilsson doesn't give a home ad
