Dear Movie Editor: Won't you tell
me if il is possible for you to get the
names of the leads in photoplays over
a year old?
In my Movie" book l have written
the name of every play / have seen
Except rowdy comedies. and ! have
spared no effort in getting the names of
the leads l could not recognize. There
are a few old ones still blank l have
over COO
And has House Peters been featured
in Sawyer release since lie left Fa-
mouse Players. LOBELL.
III compromise with you. You tell
me what the plays are you want to
get the leads of and I'll tell you whether
can get them for you. Explanations:
There are some companies whose per
manent records l have access TO. But l
certainly hope that you haven't mor-
than One-fourth of the 600 still I'M
labeled. I haven't heard of a new
House Peters release.
Motion Picture Editor: In your issue
of May s. / see where some one asked
YOU who played the part of Fred
erick opposite Mary Pickford, and You
answered House Peters. II you think l
am not taking too much upon myself i
would like to correct you and say it
was Harold Lockwood. / am positive of
that because Harold Lockwood played
opposite Little Mary in Hearts Adrift."
and he is the same one who PLAYED oppo-
site her in Tess of Storm Country"
Thanking you very much, I beg to remain
A FAN
| surrender, You're the tenth one to
call my attention to the lamentable error
for which / apologize to all of you. But
! didn't suspect. first. that ii was an
error. and second. that ten of you would
know IT If it was. L. G.
Editor Motion Picture Department:
Thank you for your information concern
ing Majestic pictures. Also for your Of
fer of further information as to where
they can be seen nearer my home. l am
a little uncertain as to just how wise a
movie man you are supposed to be. so if
the inquiry / make is outside the scope
of your department, please pardon my
hothering you, but | am extremely anx-
ious to see Maude Fealy. preferably in
''Frou Frou'' CThanhouser), and / wonder
If you could tell me If she is TO be seen
in any pictures showing here at present
or in the near future. Congratulations
upon your excellent department Very
truly yours. L. f. F.
Your uncertainty is indicative of a
cruel misgiving as to the extent of my
lnls narSn stroke is
somewhat mitigated by the congratulA-
tory close of your letter. Anyway, From
Frou' is not playing in Washington at
present, though it will probably be back
here soon. Just at present it is some !
where in the vicinity of Culpeper, Va.
Any exhibitor can show "Frou Frou."
and / suggest that you tell the manager
of your favorite photoplayhouse that YOU
want to see it. Maude Fealy plays in
regular Thanhouser releases, but mostly |
in feature films. such as Moths" Now
dare you to say you're uncertain"
