# Page Description This is a text and photo page from an early 20th-century pulp magazine's "Questions and Answers" section (page 72). The upper half contains reader correspondence addressing various film industry figures and questions about movies and actors. The lower half features two black-and-white photographs showing what appears to be Bill Hart's collection of firearms and Western memorabilia, including guns allegedly belonging to Kit Carson and the James brothers, plus a saddle described as "the finest example of Spanish workmanship ever constructed." The caption emphasizes these as historically significant Western artifacts.

Pavt B., Oxtartosta.—So you spoke to Bill Hart! May I shake your hand?

Richard Barthelmess has been in “Broken Blossoms” and “Way Down East" for D. W. Griffith; and since his stardom by Inspiration Pictures (First National) he has made “Tol’able David,” “The Seventh Day" (the fictionization of this appears in this issue of PHoropiay), and is now work- ing on “Sonny,” from George V, Hobart's play. I consider “Tol’able David" one of the greatest pictures ever made; and think young Mr. Barthelmess has won a long- deserved success. Everybody who knows this boy likes him. W. A. E., Freemont, Nien. — You are the pianist in a picture house and the cue-sheet said to play a waltz in the ball room scene of “The House that Jazz Built,” and you played a waltz and the manager told you to play a one-step! The cue-sheet was un- doubtedly correct. That’s what a cue-sheet is for. (For the benefit of those who came in late: a cue-sheet is supplied with every picture to indicate what music to play dur- ing the screening.) Mavis—Kay Laurell is starring in a vaudeville sketch called “The ‘Naughty Wife.” Her last film was “Lonely Heart," the story of an Indian girl, Kay is very blonde and very beautiful, I don’t know what her plans for pictures are, if any.
