Motion Picture Editor: Being a constant
reader of your page. and therefore a de-
cided admirer, believe that can ask
question or two and expect them to be
answered-if you do not think me too
presumptuous.
Can you please tell me with what
company Helen Marten is playing. She
is a decided favorite of mine, but l have
not seen her for some time and want TO
know the company to look for. She has
done some splendid work in Indian roles.
have several pictures OF her. Also
please tell me II Ada Clifford and Anita
Stewart are still with the Vitagraph
Company. Can you find out for me who
played opposite Mona Darkfeather in
The Hopi Raiders?'
If you do me the favor to answer these
will appreciate II and give you the
reward of asking you some more in the
near future. JAMES.
James: Helen Marten Is with the Eclsir
Company. This issue of the Motion Pic
ture Magazine has a picture of her in
Indian costume. Ada Clifford and Anita
Stewart are both with the Vitagraph
Company. Charles Bartlett played oppo-
site Mona Darkfeather.
Motion Picture Editor: VIII you per-
nit me TO ask one wee tiny question or
two? ! did not see these pictures in
Washington, so you may have a time to
find them, or II you cannot it will be
all right and no hard feelings, etc. Who
played the lead q think the character
was Florence) in Indian Fate" and
who played the leading lady in THE
Peaceful Victory?'' A. l. B.
A l. B.: Ethel Kelton was Florence
in Indian Fate" and Florence La Baide
had the lead in The Peaceful Victory -
Motion Picture Editor: You seem able
to answer questions and tell most people
what they wish to know about actors and
actresses that are playing with the
movies, so l wonder il you can tell any
thing about the actors that are not yet
playing-that is give advice or state what
are the qualifications of a moving picture
actress as to age and talent, etc. and
how TO go about getting in a company
and what salaries they pay. have taken
lot OF parts in theatricals and every
one tells me that I am good looking
and l know that l have some style. too,
and that seems necessary because the
actresses have to wear good clothes TO
act the society parts. i can learn things
quick and can dance and swim and I
really do believe that I would make a
fine actress for the screen, and honestly
1 am not conceited as l am only stating
facts that people tell me every day.
Now will you please write and tell me
II you think that I am suited to this
profession, and how 1 should go about
getting on. I am very ambitious.
wOULD-BE-ACTR
Would -Be-Actress: If all you say about
yourself is true, and not knowing you
cannot doubt it, 1t appears that you would
make a moving picture actress, but you
will have to call at one of the studios
and let the director decide the matter.
There is no age limit to the profession.
Talent is necessary of course. do not
know what salaries are paid for different
parts. II depends on the company and
the worth of the actor. Call on the d.
rectors and state your ambitions to them.

MEAT EATING SHOWS
GRADUAL DECLINE
Nearly 0ne-Fourth Less De-
crease in Per Capita Con-
sumption in Last Ten Years.

That the American people have been
forced by high prices to reduce the
quantity of meat they eat is shown in
a report today of an extended investiSa-
tion by the Department Of Agriculture.
The per capita consumption OF meat is
shown to have decreased per cent
from 1900 to 1909 anC 24.9 per cent from
1900 to 1914. Production showed an even
greater per capita decrease.
The per capita production Of dressed
meats declined from 2l1.2 pounds in
1900 to 1862 in 1903 and 1906 for 1914. The
per capita exports Of meat declined
from q pounds in 1900 to 81 pounds in
the seal year 1918.
The per capita consumption Of meat,
DIRE, ,,sed weight expressed in pounds, de-
clined from I7s.2 pounds in 1900 to liz
pounds in 1909 and then To 1919 pounds
for 1914
Reporting on the provisions of the
new tariff act requiring inspection Of
imported meats before they are permit
tea TO be brought in, the department
shows that of approximately $4,000, 900
pounds of meat imported in the three
months from October to December, 1919,
there were 1888 pounds OF meat con-
demned.
No important increase in the price OF
potatoes is expected owing to the large
supply Of the crops in the hands of the
farmers.
4 paragraph OF the report is devoted
to the gain in the number OF horses. In
spite OF strong competition from auto
mobiles and farm tractors the depart
ment experts find horses on the in
crease. The number. January /, had
grown TO more than 100000, a gain
OF 1.9 per cent. over 1913.

LAMP SIX MILES AWAY
IS IGN|TED BY RADIO
Signor MarConi Announces His
Latest Achievement With
Wireless.

LONDON, Feb. Io.-It is announced
that Signor Marconi has succeeded in
lighting an electric lamp by electricity
through the agency of wireless at a dis
tance Of six miles. A bulb was at
tached to a receiver connected with an
aerial receiving wire. The transmitter
was linked up with a l00-horsepower
apparatus and as soon as the power
was applied the lamp lighted and re-
mained lighted as long as the power
was kept on.
The experiment brings a. step nearer
realization Nikola Tesla's prediction Of
be Illuminated by electricity caught
from the air by masts on the roofs. and
Signor Marconi hopes that it will be the
fOrerunner not only of lighting but of
heating houses by etheric waves. At
present however. Signor Marconi is
giving his main attention to aerophOny.
He said today:
Il am now aiming particularly TO OBJ
