Yes, Jack Mulhail is married, and his wife played in " Cheating Herself." " Rosa " (Anerley). — So you lost your heart to the handsome young man opposite Mae Marsh in " The Cinderella Man."

Mae Gaston, your favourite, was born in Spe States at a place called Harper's Ferry, a little more than twenty-seven years ago. She claims to liave acted in over a hundred lilms, whii h shows what a busy little person she is. M. H. M. (Woking), "GRACE" (Wood Green), ¥. M. S. (Muswell Hill), "Ethel" (Newport), and '• Carol's Fan " (Sheffield). — There is nothing to be nervous about, I assure you. Let me have your full names when writing, as requested in the paragraph at the head of these replies. / • \nnie" (Durtediu). — Yes Juanita Hansen is still acting, and she ought to be seen in your part r>{ the world. " The Brass Bullet " and " The Beachcomber " are two of her latest. ' WINLV'REO " (Whetstone). — You will soon bo ab'.e to open an art gallery of tilra favourites with your collection of autographed portraits.

Charles Graham was the one who took the part of Paul Balcom in " The Master Mystery." Gerald Ames says his moustache is one he has "growed" himself. A. C. (London, S.W.). — I am afraid your description of the film you saw is rather vague, A. C, and I am sorry I cannot tell you what it. was caHed. Here are some of Irene Castle's pictures, and perhaps the title you are wanting may be amongst them : " The Whirl of Life," " Sylvia of the Secret Service," " Patria," and " The Girl from Bohemia." The cast of "• The End of the Road " does not give the names you want. " Flapper " (Pembroke Dock). — I won't tell you off, " Flapper," because you have not offended inc.

E. (Walthamstow). — Yes, Doris Lee and Doris May are one and the same. Her director thought the latter name was a better one for her. Wanda Hawley was formerly Wanda Petit. Her real name, of course, is Selma Pittack. So this will help to clear up the mystery about the photos you received from both these artistes. I will try to get the other information you want. C. G. (Southampton). — Well, you have suffered a loss, but you must not let any other friend accidentally tear up the latest art plate of Mary Pickford. Mrs. Sidney Drew has not deserted the screen, and I Donald McBridc will be seen with her in coming pictures. " Lone Star " (Belfast).— No, Jerry ha* not given up screen acting, or else our smiles would diminish. His other name is George, Ovcy. " KITTY " (Hcckmondwike). It so happens, Kittv, that vou have struck unlucky. But it isn't really my fa'ult for both your favourites refuse to say on what dates they were born. So you can come again with something else, and I will sec what 1 can do. , , M. W. (East London).— Well, if you have been peppering me for some time, 1 have withstood it bravely and I cayenne do it again. So you all have been groaning and crying and grinding your teeth because there has not been more about Mary Pickford and Mildred Harris. This is really a bad state for South Africa to get into, but I hope the splendid art photogravure of the former recently given away will have comforted you all somewhat.

Glad to hear vour sister in California thinks this is " the sweUest paper going." When you fill up your fountain pen to write to me again you can ask me a question. R. N. (Preston). — Well, you had to make a beginning some time, so here you are. Juanita Hansen was Pollv, the Poppv Girl in " The Poppy Girl's Husband " with W. S. Hart. " THE Scamp " (South Shields). — I cannot imagine you as a pathetic figure, despite the sob in the first part of your letter. More full of miscluef, probably. But I will extend von my sympathy and tell you what I know. Tom Foreman joined the American Army during the war, but is in civvies now. He was boru in 1803, and is married. Yes, he is still acting. Ann Little is a Callfornian girl born twentysix years ago since when she has grown to ."> ft. G in. in height. Her eyes and hair are brown and dark respectively.
