Claire Windsor and Bert Lytell were divorced in August, 1927. > Maria Salvador.— Indeed, I do want you to write again ; as you say, I don't often get letters from Spain, and your letter is delightful. I should like very much to hear about Spanish films and actors ; we seldom hear of them in America. Gosta Ekman, I am told, lives at 19 Hjorthagsvogen, Stockholm. Don't ask me how to pronounce that one. Camilla Horn is now in America, under contract to United Artists, 7200 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles. Her Berlin address is Spiehernstrasse 17, but she probably won't return there for some time. Ufa Studios are at Neubabelsberg, a small village just outside Berlin. E. E. I. — If only every one's questions were as easy to answer as yours, running this department would be a nice, soft job. But don't worry; it isn't! I often have to take my spade in hand and dig and dig for information. Ben Lyon is a brunet, with that lucky combination of very dark hair and dark-blue eyes. I don't know of any stars with birthdays on September 21st. Gilda Gray's comes on October 24th. Lya de Putti's name is pronounced Lee-a de Put — like put, in put and take — ty.

He appears mostly* in comedies ; in the several features he has played in, his has been the face on the cuttingroom floor. He worked in "Sweet Rosie O'Grady" and in "Heroes of the Night," but the sequences in which he played were cut out. Write him at 1354 North Curson Avenue, Hollywood. East. — Now what am I to do about Buster Collier? You say your letter to him was returned from the Tiffany-Stahl studios, yet that company announced that they had signed him to a five-picture contract.

Ken has played in several dozen pictures. Western stars almost always own their own horses — in fact, a whole stableful usually. The leading lady in "Senor Dare-devil" was Dorothy Devore. In "The Valley of Hell" Edna Murphy was the heroine. Conway Tearle and Alice Terry played the leads in "The Great Divide." I don't know about "The Courage of Captain Plum;" if you'll tell me who produced it, I can find out who the players were. A Miss — See Hey, Hey, Clara. And watch for next month's Oracle and I'll give you the names of other Wampas stars. I've no more space in this issue. How I Spent My First Pay Check Raymond Keane. Could hardly wait to buy a nifty sport roadster — and to park it proudly in front of the Best Girl's house. Rita Carita. An auto salesman took my check away from me in exchange for a cute little coupe — or whatever part of one you own after the first payment down. While in New York, my idea of spending money had been to buy clothes in Fifth Avenue shops, but after coming to California for picture work, I realized that a person without a car was handicapped about as much as a sign-language expert would be if he had both arms amputated. Hence, the car. Marceline Day. My first check went into an orgy of shopping. I bought a complete new wardrobe — adorable dresses, and hats and shoes, and lovely accessories. I reveled in buying them, and used to take them off their hangers and from their boxes to admire them over and over again. My only regret was that I could wear only one dress at a time. On days at home, I used to change my frock several times, in order to parade each and every one of my precious possessions. ^We couldrit save a cent "I hadn't received a raise in years and my small salary scarcely lasted from week to week. Margaret scrimped and saved and did all her own washing and housework, but the bills kept piling up and I could see she was always afraid I would lose my position. But still I kept drifting along in the sanie old rut. "Then one day I met Tom Wilson, who used to ■work right beside me. He told me he was making $5000 a year and had a nice home in the suburbs, a new car and everything. I asked him how he happened to get ahead so fast. 'Oh, I got tired working for a small salary,' he said, 'so I started studying at home through the International Correspondence Schools. I've been moving up ever since.' "That woke me up. I told Margaret that if the I. C. S. could help a man like Tom Wilson it could help me. So I cut out that I. C. S. coupon and mailed it to Scranton. "It certainly was a lucky day for me. In four months I received a raise in salary and before the end of the year I was next in line for manager of my department. We've got a car of our own now and a bank account that's growing every day." How do you stand when your employer checks up his men for promotion? Does he think of you?
