where Mary Sunshine works, and this one was full of the jargon of the stu­dios, and I listened in rapt attention, so he kept up a running stream of pat­ter, occasionally stopping to let some regular punch the time clock, or inspect a supe’s pass. He was from 111. he said, and had worked in several studios, but found the work hard and not nearly so regular as he expected, and so he drifted into this work. He was a splendid looking man, but while shrewd, was very ignorant, and of course it takes brains to be an actor as well as looks. He kept wondering why' we didn’t don robes and go into it. “Then you’ll see it all, be in the midst of it for the day, and besides, you’ll get your6. “ What’ll I get?” I wanted to know, and he said impressively, “ Two dollars and ten cents, a lunch check, a break­fast check if you come as early as some did—and a bloomin’, sunburn. “ So I declined politely, tho I told Hazel last night if she’d go out with me some day just for the lark, we could supe our­selves and see how it felt. Now a couple of men with long sticks came out and stationed themselves on each side of the columns, to shoo back any new­comer wno might walk into the range of the camera, and a red faced man with a meganhone, and tered, afid then the“hower trta out, and after they had grouped by the plashing fountain, thru the columns poured the men, great browny fellows, in tiny kilted skirt with colored edges, bracelets, and helmets. Then a bunch in togas, arm in arm, and a few great bearded fellows with shields. They were followed by the nine hundred men, and such a rush, and roar. How­ever, I must say they did better than the women, who would get started al­right, then rush and you should have heard the director bellow. He didn’t use the choice language I had been led to expect, but he did call them block heads, bone-heads, wooden-heads, and some fifty other terms descriptive of their noodles. The poor things got so fussed they were worse than ever, but finally they got the idea—it seems de­cidedly against a directors principle’s to explain just what he means, the first time—and after a couple more prac­tice, they began to grind the carqeras, and get to work. Then they all troop­ed back thru the columns, for the big temples etc , were on the other side, and we entered into conversation again, content to stay in our cool corner with the interesting old gate man. About this time a big electric rolled up, and the driver held the door open for a slim woman, in soft gray, witft a big gray cape, and gray bonnet-effect head piece. She came right on in the gate, but my friend barred it and said, “ Can’t let you in, mam. They’re filming right now, and nobody permitted without a pas. Got a pass?” “No, I have not,” she said calmly, and raised big dark eyes to his face, but before he could say another word, about ten men rush­ed after her, and one said, “This way, Miss Bara,” and they all swept in. Of course when she smiled X recognized her, and had risen and was punching the man’s arm, to tell him, out 1 didn’t blame him, for who would expect a vampire to run around in a dove cos­tume? He stared after her a minute, then he said, “good night! Here’s where I ’m canned!” and said it so loud and so expressively that Miss Bara c^pie back a few steps, and said, “ Not on my account, my good man. You were perfectly right,” and then went on. He sat down and mopped his face, and for once was reduced to mere shak­ing of his head. Her voice matched her clothes, not her reputation, and if it hadn’t been for those smooth dark locks and big eyes, I don’t suppose 1 would have recognized her either, but 1 have seen her in a series of plays at Millers lately She had no make-up on, either, and certainly did not give the impression she was meant to play Cleo. She didn’t waste a glance on me, but she smile! at my son—the vampires are all alike, and he trotted several yards after her before I called him back She vanished into the big studio with the cavaliers, and spent the morning inspecting her scenery. After a while a youngster named Harry came along, and my friend turned us over to him with directions to show us around, so.he took us thru the Cleopatra scenery. It was remarkably complete, and beauti-

. . . fully decorated, especially the interior t mg'little feller. I shouldn’t wonder if land we watched two men making you could git him in permanent, he’s a statues for it, too, they had mannikins good type. ” By this time the supes i ten or more feet high, wrapped with were beginning to pour into the squatel grass, apparently, and were covering behind us, in long robes, many with them with plaster. Kenneth lingered, their hair unboiyid, some sandalled, all ; iihfhe place where Farnum had filmed ; picking their way carefully over the j T a iW Two cities, the Bastile fascina-1 grasß. There was a big fountain in ted htai, and we went thru the room | thç center, and flowers, and the col- j where they dry the films, on huge ! unjns of the new buildings were ail i spools, they have hot air passed over :

but has the most fascinatimr sculpture on exhibition I ever saw, 60 little statues of children, many of them wonderful. Then there was Geraldine Ferrar whom I wrote you of fascinating as can be, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fair­banks, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Dr. Frauk Crane, Nat Goodwin, Ruth St. Denis, Barney Oldüeld, Mme, Montessore, Charlie Van Loan, all of these and others 1 can’t remem­ber who all have homes here. Therefore it was a surprise to me, when everybody got so excited over Theda Bara coming. She has been working in New York for Fox, but they have such a big plant here, and were going to put on the most elaborate feature ever blmed. Cleopatra, so Miss Bara

- arrived week. . Of course «h« is the champion vampire of the film world and probably nearly as highly paid as the others put to­gether. But it seemed like a ter­rible lot of excitement over her. All the papers published long il-, lustrative accounts of her arrival so Kenneth and I thought we would go over to the Fox Studio and see if Theda was as charming as they all saidi

We took a car over, and soon found the place, off Sunset boulevard, two big squares on opposite sides of the street surrounded by a wall at least ten feet high. Motors were sailing by, and people! I never saw such a bunch. Kenneth and I sidled up to a big gate, where people w’ere thronging in, each showing the tyrant at the entrance a magic card, lie was counting them in a grumbling tone, and when he said “Eight hundred seven—” we were caugnt up by the throng and swept up. “ Wnere’8 your card?” he growled, and I said “ I haven’t one. “ He swooped me in, but to one side, and fenced me into a narrow corner with the turnstyle with his brawny arm. “ You supes would lose your heads if they werent fastened on, ‘ ‘he said .more in sorrow than in anger,” wait here till I git this herd thru and I’ll look you up. “ Well,I didn't want to be looked up, but I did want to know what was up so I stayed, and when there, was a lull, he turned to me and said, “Don’t you remember your number, or the kid's?” “ We didn’t have any, “i said, “ what are they for” ? He eyed roe suspiciously, but I looked as harmless as possible and he seemed glad to have sympathe­tic ears to unburden his tried soul to.

“ Its that Theda Bara, he said, every­thing in Los Angeles wants to be in her picture. Why half the girls we’ve had are high school girls, and they all think the honor of being in this here, Theda’s picture is glory in itself. Some of em don't even want pay, all they want is a chance to shine in this here big thing. They nearly swamped us since we started this picture. And the doss sent out notices to the employment agency that we’d need two hundred fifty women and about nine hundred men today, they’re doing these big secenes first— and just look! We got em in awarms, why, tome of those poor simps were Tined up when I came here, and that was before seven. “He looked at me keer.fy, then said, “You wan ta try it? “Heavens, no, “ I said hastily, “ I never hàd any experience.” Thai, don’t matter, “fcç said,” iiot one hundred has had any.'\ All you got to do is to go over there to the wardrobe mistress, git one of thosevrobes,- and a little grease paint if you want it, tho how you or anybody else will be seen in that

sunsine comedy stage, and worked trick bed for Kenneth’s edification— when you sat or lay on it, it ■ shot thru the wall-and they made the rounds of the stages with their wierd settings in chatting friendliness 1 had entered into conversation with Hazel Some­thing the comedy actress who took me tnru the stuffy little dressing rooms and talked shop very interestingly, and introduced me to seveia! other lesser stars, who were very chatty and pleas­ant, as soon as I produced Mr. Lasalle’s card. They all agreed that movie life was hard and while fun, still there was so much work and so much strain in it, one couldn’t last long at it. Regulars get pretty good pay, but they said bit­terly that were called on more and got less tnanks than anybody in the world, for Red Cross and other charitable con­tributions to take part in dances, page­ants, etc., and the lesser ones rarely got thanks.

About this time it was lunch time, and Kenneth’s friend Ilank Mann ask­ed my permission to take him to the cafeteria, so they went ahead, and

around the ages of ten, were out at Bolboa filming fairy tale. Mr. Lasalle told me they used only the older chil­dren, that if I wanted to try Kenneth, he knew he would film well, and he seemed to possess imagination, which was a valuable attribute, and I might bring him around with his card and try him out. But the most of the movie children I have seen are so self consc­ious and smarty I shouldn’t chose it for my boy. After we finished our lunch, we went back for another look at the mob, then beat it hoirie, tired out with our strenuous exercise at the Fox studio. Miss Bara has taken a house in Hollywood, and is refusing all invi­tations, I understand, preferring to study her new role. I have seen her shopping a few times, and she is always alone, and always as demurely dressed ac a little Quaker. She wore long string of black beads, and a very strong exotic perfume, and of course one couldn’t be a real vampire without those tightly coiled locks. I never saw one with curls or a pomron, did you?
