THE ANSWER CORNER.

REPLIES TO INQUIRIES. FILM KAN (Takapuna).—l cannot give you such a list as you require. MOONLIGHT ( S.vmonds Street).—Paul Lufcus is married: I cannot tell you about his children. Also, I have seen nothing to indicate that he has been seriously ill. You should find him at Universal City, Hollywood, California. I'OPEY (Taihape).—Addresses: I.uise Itainer, Culver City. California; L'rrol Flynn. Kurbank, California : Sinione Simon and Sonia Henje. Movietone City, Hollywood. California ; Paula Stone, c/o Gituiuoiit-British Corporation. Shepherd's Bush. Lime Grove. London. Don't expect to Ret free photos from Eleanore, Sinione. or Paula. In re that other list, the answer is no. QIIZZIB (Milford).—Write to Sinione Simon at Movietone City. Hollywood, California; to Herbert Marshall at" Radio Pictures, 78<l, Cower Street. Hollywood ; and to Robert Donat. care London Films, Deuhani. Bucks., England. All have been known to send photos here free. Send Nelson Eddy a page from your autograph book, but be tactful enough not to tell him that you are collecting film stars' autographs. BILLY (Whakarewarewa).—You must have one of the best collections of autographed photos in the country, with 153 of them, including such old-timers. In quantity, it tops any others I have heard about, and would take a lot of beating in quality, it seems. Try Garl.o again. She was in Sweden over a long period around the time you wrote before, but has now been back in Hollywood some time. And you want other collectors to correspond with? I will pass vour address on to any who ask for it. A.B.C. (Raglan).—John Boles aud Lance Fairfax are two entirely different singers. Boles sang the "Red Shadow" role in the film of "The Desert Song." Lance Fairfax played it on the stage In Australia and New Zealand. Lance has made many gramophone records and a num'ber of pictures, all English, the best of which were "The Blue Danube" and "The Beggar Student." He was born in Dunedin, while Boles conies from Texas. Bili Robinson should send vou a free photo from Movietone City, Hollywood, California. SINGER (Avondale). —Your list of singers is nothing like a complete one; 50 or more could easily be named.

Corporation, same address; Richard Crooks and Lawrence Tibbett, c/o Metropolitan Opera Company, New York City; Kirsten Flagsted and Tito Schipa, c/o Messrs. J. and N. Tait, Ltd., Melbourne. Conchita Supervia is dead. Don't try any more. I have not those details you want concerning George Houston or "The Bohemian Girl " while your description of the "Rigoletto" quartet is too vague. No record is kept of such matters anywhere, other than memories. Jan Kiepura and his wife, Marta Eggerth. are living in their £ 100,000 hotel at Krynica, Poland. Michael Bartlett is visiting England. Kirsten Flagsted and Tito Schipa are to tour New Zealand and this year. No details on the others.
