your dandy column, go rs a beginner
always does, I'm asking you n lot OF
questions and also have a lot to say.
How old Is Wanda Hawley? Don t
you think the makeup about her house,
the way it was fixed up, was good in
The House That Jazz Built? l know
lot OF people who fix up their houses
not quite but somewhere nearly as bad
as that--kewpic dolls, Hy chascrs, little
devils, big cats, light fixtures shaped
like moons and painted as such, and
they think it's awfully cute and orig
inal.
in Nazimovas Billions I thought
she dressed horribly. or am ! queer in
my taste? You think?
Who was the leading lady In Bar
Nothin'" How tall is she!
Il don't like serials, usually because
most of the time there is pretty bad
acting in them. l got this impression
from Miracles Of the Jungle | think
the lions did their parts best of all.
What happens TO the tiny monkey the
giant caught, or rather saved? Wcren I
they all ZOO anImalsi Red Fox was
pretty villainous, 80 he'll pass, and the
giant was pretty good, too, and n few
other less important; but outside OF
that--why did they kill the pretty
! blonde girl In the picture or how did
she die? I only saw about seven or
eight episodes, so you'll kindly excuse
my blHnkncSs.
II think l read that Conway Tearlc
was forty-two or thereabouts. Why,
only took him to be about thirty.
! four when he's ell dressed up.
II like Eugene O'Brien and Norma
Talmadse q lot. Anita Stewart always
puts me in mind of q girl who Is suffer-
ing sweetly, or is that the part she has
to play always? Thut's a shame. She
ought to be given the part Of Campfire
! Girl Of some sort. 1t would ease my
mind, because / always feel sorry for
her, and put myself In her shoes during
the picture.
II have been following up Ruth Ro-
land In The White Eagle and. al

white rider rides just WONDERFULLY

age in her biographies. I'm sure don {
know why, for she is young enough.
don't mind that ja2zy stuff around a
house. Sometimes ] think jazz is Il
great stimulant and relief from the too
serious view of life. Did you see
Only 49,? The widow, who had
spent her life with crayon pictures Of
ministers and horseha!r furniture, fixed
up her new home to suit herself. 1t
wasn't artistic, but it was cheerful

| like SRzimova's dresses. They are
always just little too much so, IL you
get what l mean. They are ugly, and
hate ugllness. Ruth Renick was the
leading lady in "Bar Nothln'." Pretty,
isn't she? She is five feet two inches
tall. Certainly the animals In the
jungle serial were all zoo beasts, but
that doesn't make 'eIn any safer or
more pleasant playmates-at least ]
shouldn't think 80. Conway Tearle was
born in 1880. 30 you can figure it out
for yourself. don't think Anita
Stewart would be particularly good as
q carefree girl. She's rather serious
minded and not at nll the romping
of humor, but she doesn't suggest the
fighty kind Of tlapper that | imagine
you have in mind.)
