Have you ever tried to analyse the reasons why you are sometimes attracted towards a particular person ? Personality, we are told, has a great deal to do with it ; but the average man or woman, who has no inclination to try and probe the psychical mysteries which he hidden in this term, prefers to explain the causes in the simple language o! everyday use. Thus, when we ewne in personal contact with those who attract us to them, we attribute it, among other tilings, to : Dress, personal looks, physique, mental power, conduct, quality of nature, sympathy in ideals and desires. But in the case of those whom we have not seen, except photographically on the screen, it would be interesting to know why they become of siich paramount interest to us. Every popular artiste in Filmland has his or her enormous circle oi unseen admirers, comprising people of all ages and nationalities, whose only bond is that of the common admiration for a particular player. Let it be announced that such and such a " star " has fallen ill, and immediately a strong current of sympathy is aroused in thousands of hearts th? world over. Is there a picture showing in which some favourite is appearing ? Then there are hundreds of people who will go any reasonable distance to see the him. Undoubtedly, the " drawing-power " of the film artiste is wonderful. Yet, what is the reason ? Those of you who have your own favourites will doubtle.ss be ready to champion them. At the same time, I am curious to know why they are your favourites; though, in accepting my invitation, I should prefer you to name only one, and to state your reasons as briefly as you can. THE EDITOR. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. ' Will readers kindly remember that, owing to the fact that this paper goes to press a considerable time before publication, letters cannot be answered in the next issue? A stamped and addressed envelope must accompany any letter requiring an immediate answer by post. Address: The Editor, "The Picture Show, "The Fleetway House, Farringdon Street, E.C. 4. " Puzzled " (Camden Town). — The Ticture Show knew quite well that Kililie Polo was in London, but the paraaraph you refer to in the issue for July lOtli was written before luldie had started for this country. Kcmember that this paper goes to prcs.j several weeks before the date of publication. iJid you see our interview with him in our issue, July 20th '! " (iL.VDYS " (Brighton). — You have heard that Fatty Arbiicklc is dead. Who told you that, Gladys ■> You can dry yourtears, for Fatty is still alive and as larf,'e and as humorous as ever. Warner Oland aiid Ilciiry fisell are playing in Pearl White's serial, " The Lightning Raider," which you will be able to see shortly. " Brads " (Kennington). — -Thanks for your information which also reache.l me shortly after from another source. All the authorities I have seen spell Charles Clary without an " e " in the surname. Is it possible bis signature has misled you '! Glad you have received an autographed portrait from Smiling Bill Parsons. S. D. (Luton). — Ann Pennington is not at present on the films. Wlien last I heard, Montague Love, who is about forty-two, was on the stage. Bebe Daniels' is her right naiue, and she was born on January 14 1901, in Dallas, Texas.

" The Nature of the Beast " was specially written for the film, and the stof> you refer to may have been based on it. L. W. "(Liverpool). — William S. Hart has not . married anybody as yet. The rule at foot of next page will tell you how to write to him. " J.,ONESOME Yankee " (Redruth). — Glad you like this " cute httle paper," and that it stands so high in your estimation.

(Say, Horace, what's " hunch " mean, anyway ?) Excuse' me whispering to my assistant, won't you ? The " EngUsli.guy " who told you Fatty Arbuckle is dead, is WTong. Perhaps your English girl friends mean no harm when they tease y6u. Anyway, I hope you won't be lonesome long. M: R. (Grimsby). — Baby Marie Osborne and Mary Pickford are no relation to each other at all. What, a rumour ! ■' FLORRIE AND LOUIE" (Hampstcad). — I should advise you not to have anything to do with the concern. M. H. (P^eigate). — Y'cs, I think you are lucky. Perhaps, Mary Pickford will also send you her photograph in time. ■ • " Ivy and Marjorie " (Teddington). — Keither is married. Antonio Moreno is thirty-one. Fancy asking for addresses, after saying you read this paper " every week." .Se<? nUe next page. P. D. (Kedhiri).— Pearl White wears a wig, but her own hair is auburn.

(Thames-Ditton).— Please see latter part of reply to "Max" of Bordeaux. •• Si orcii Lassie" (Kilmarnock).-— Yes, so far Pearl White has appeared in serials. Mary Fuller is not at present acting for the films. Other details are lacking. I do not know what would be the best way to train a child for the films as the openings for juvenile artistes in this country are not many. N. L. T. (Liverpool).— " Broncho Billy" (G. M. Anderson) is very much alive although rumour killed him as it did Pearl White. One of his latest picture.4 is ■• Shooting Mad." Mury Pickford is not leaving the filmi at all, but will still continue making pictures ' in a new concern called the United Artistes' Association, which includes D. W. Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, and herself. OUve Thomas is the wife of Jack Pickford. No, I am not goinjj grey through all the questions I have to answer on this page.

(Leed-i). — What an imposing list of favourites. .Tune Caprice is twenty. You shall have some photos of her expressions in THE PICTUKE SHOW. I note she heads your list. "' P'lLW Lover " (East Dulwich). — Y'ou didn't know which was Charlie Chaplin in the photogr^^h ? Perhaps the absence of liis famotis moustache liii-.led you.
