Motion Picture Editor: / thank you
for your reply of a few days since. 1
agree with the writer who signs "A
Reader" The man, woman. or child who
reads aloud the writing on the picture
screen seems to forget that We can all
read for our own selves; another is the
man who insists upon keeping time on
| the backs OF the chair In front and an
other, not yet mentioned. Is the man who
Is SO selfish he smokes a pipe the entire
time and blows the smoke in the faces
of all in sight. This may be his privilege.
We all have our privileges. but Is 1t the
right thing to do to take them IL 1t
destroys the comfort Of others? For my
part 1 wish better rules were enforced,
and hope for them. VIVIAN.
Vivian: Personally the editor has never
met with a smoke pest in a Washington
picture theater, and am happy to say
so. They must be annoying. Why not
go to theaters where smokers are not
permitted II you do not like the weed.
1t is a larger campaign than We want to
undertake to cure the masculine
smokers. Write to us again.
Motion Picture Editor: Will you
please tell me who was the leading man
in THE Science of Crime CBiograph).

Motion Picture Editor: II Is after
having derived the greatest satisfaction
from your previous answers that / again
pen a note to you in pursuit of more in
formation on the motion picture line. In
the first place l wish to extend my
heartiest appreciation and thanks for the
nice and quick way in which my pre-
vious queries were answered. i cannot
help but boost such a paper that caters
to the people, as does The Washington
Herald. II occurred to me after writing
my other note to your column that one
Scoop on your part could be made IL
instead of publishing scenes Of photo
plays you would give picture Of some
popular actress or screen artist instead.
Many frequent movie goers with whom
/ am acquainted, but who have not con-
versed with you through these columns,
have stated that It would be a much
better idea to do this. / only omit
their names at their request. Such
popular PLAYERS as Gwendolyn Pates.
Vivian Rich. Crane Wilbur, Edwin
August, Margaritta Fisher. and Mary
Fuller then could decorate the rooms of
all faddists of this line OF amusement.
OF course. this is only meant as a sug
gestion and given as encouragement, and
1 assure you that I am not trying to tell
you how to run your own paper. I'm
sure you'n take it that way.
Are there any statistics that tend to
show which series Of films are the most
popular by numbers in distribution? By
that mean which Of the three, Mutual,
Universal or General, seem to be the
most appreciated? Now, after my long
CAB I wish to ask a few questions.
Has Mabel Normand left keystone? II
SO. where could / see her now?
Who took the leading parts in THE
Strangers of Paris" played at the Gar
den Theater the first of this week?
Jane Grey?
Who was the old man In The Legend |
of Snow White?" and which of the |
Tanhauser twins took the part of Snow |
White?
Where can I see Gwendolyn Pates in |
movies? She certainly is a pretty wee |
mite of vivacity.
Will any companies be taking pictures |
in Washington in the immediate future? |
If so could you tell me Of some prospect |
i've sites?
Who took the part of the tramp in |
Lubin's The Trunk Mystery?'
Thanking you in advance, and hoping |
that this letter will be printed IL It is !
not too long drawn out, / remain,
SEPTEMBER MORN.
P. S.-Yes. 1 am early, but every one |
cannot be reared to suit the times Sorry. |
September Morn: It is impossible to
determine which Of the companies is the
most popular. Mabel Norman is still
with the keystone Company. William
Porter and Jean Fernley took the leads
with THE Strangers Of Paris" Jagon's
daughter was not taken by Jane Grey.
but Miss Fernley. The old man in the
Legend of Snow White" was Riley
and Marie Eline played
Snow White. Gwendolyn Pates is play
ing with Pathe. Look for the announce
ments of the theaters in The Washington
Herald. I can get no clue of a picture
TO be taken here in the near future. Edi-
son has just completed one taken around
Clarence Elmer took the
