Question
Dear Mr. Kason,
I submitted a question to you a few hours ago which read:
"Would you have any idea Who this Actress is?"
Unfortunately, it has been brought to my attention, that this was a Practical Joke.
The Culprit confessed that the photo was a Composite made using an Apple iPhone application called OLD BOOTH (as in Old Photo Booth) and that one of the images he used was none other than my own wife!!! Please forgive this unfortunate and regrettable situation. I apologize for wasting your time with this. Thank You for your understanding.
Serge Houde
P.S.: I've included the photo which I believe my "Friend" used for your perusal.

Answer
Hi Serge,

Yes,.......of Course the photo is of the illustrious, silent film actress,Vilma Banky !!!  Scratch that !  I meant to say,...the seductive Theda Bara !
Wait aminute,...I Meant to say , the sweet Mary Pickford !

( Actually, when I received the 1st question earlier,...there was NO picture attached  (nor in this one either).  So, alas,...I shall never know what your wife looks like. )

Sincerely.

Jim K.
