Motion Picture Editor: In reading your
interesting column in yesterdays pa
per, l notice where some one asked
where Gw.ndolyn Pates was. The
last motion picture magazine said that
she had left Pathe Freres and Joined
Selig, where her husband is a director.
have just mailed a two-reel play to the
Universal Company, but expect II to he
returned promptly as 1t was by the
Freres and Selig. However, l shall keep
1t on the go until it has been to- every
company i know of. Can you tell me
how many Lubin plays Rosemary Thelby
appears in a month? l am crazy about
her and never miss her pictures II
can possibly see them ! heard that Pearl
White and Chester Barnett were mar
ried. Is it true? Do you know whether
she has recovered from her accident
She Is also very clever. OF the male ac-
tors / prefer Crane Wilbur and Warren
J. Kerrigan. Can you tell me where
Octavia Handworth is at present? She
was formerly with Pathe. but left
hope that l haven't asked too many
questions. Please answer and let me
know II can write again. TEDDY.
Teddy: The Lubin players do not
make q, set number of films each week
and the average of plays month that
Rosemary Thelby plays In would be i'm
possible to get. There Is no record in
the Washington exchanges of mar
rage between Pearl White and Chester
Barnett I understand that she is re-
covered entirely. Octavia Handworth Is

Motion Picture Editor: Does II often
occur to people what a debt of gratitude
we owe to our entertainers? OF course.
we pay an admission fee, but there are
some debts that cannot be paid in mon
ey. And so. l often wonder IL the public.
as a whole. properly appreciates those
who entertain II: and there is no class
of people who so much appreciates your
appreciation.
So why humble ourselves before the
grocer, or the butcher. and affect a
blase attitude toward those who give us
pleasure. not only the entertainers them
selves. but those who exploit them espe-
ciaIly as they are usually so nice to US
For instance. | stopped one very hot day
to make an inquiry of the Plaza man.
ager q know II was the manager. be-
cause I have seen his pictureD: he was
terribly busy arranging his display. and
in his mad career had fastened his un-
ruly locks back with a rubber band. but
he took time TO answer my question. and
to smile IN the most engaging manner.
OF course. no man perfectly adores being
interrupted when he is busy. but. when
he bears up unde.. it and pretends to
enjoy 1t, as does the Plaza man, il shows
an amiabie disposition.
And. no reserving all the praise for the
male contingent, let me mention the nice
young lady in the box office at Gram
dall's: I don't suppose the one / talked
with is there all the time, but the one
in mind has dark hair and eyes. l STOP
ped to make an inquiry. and she not
only told me what l wanted to know,
but more than / asked. and was SO
friendly about 1t that felt welcome It
was such a contrast to those people who
stare at you with a fishy eye and make
you feel as if you had malaria.

Motion Picture Editor: Could you tell
me who played the girl in Lost. Union
Suit" and also who played the leading
man in the Dance of Death?" Thank
ink you very much. CLARICE NJ L.
the girl in Lost, a Union Suit and the
Moore
PIEFACED COMEDY.
The Keystone police are tumbling out fast.
While laughing millions watch them go past,
Chaplin and Sennet are in a mad race.
For beautiful Mabel, with pie her face.
Her sparkling black eyes beritch all the boys,
Her willowy form imbues them with Joys,
She swims and flirts with wonderful grace
Mschievous Mabel, with pie on her face.
The fun-loving people enjoy those tricks,
The biting 1 legs and throwing Of bricks,
The spreading of PIE upon a sweet face,
And gluteus maximus in the wrong place.

The Motion Picture Department has
much to thank you for, although your
previous communications have been in
such a serious vein that we did not
suspect you of teasing the poetic muse.
We will ask Mr.. Cunningham, of the
Mutual Film Exchange. IL he does not
agree with us that the verses are clever.
