c ONE one said to me the other
y day, Il suppose you had all the
advantages OF the finest drama
tic training before you went on the
stage, Miss Pickford,"
ayes, indeed" l replied, smile

answer to carry a tone of reflective
seriousness. 81 understudied some OF
the greatest actresses in the world

The woman gasped, my goodness
gracious! Were you taken abroad
for such an education?"
I Shook my head and laughed.
Never beyond the parlors of my old
home in Canada. There were my
stage and my early training. Ny audi
enees were the pictures on the walls,
while the table, and chairs were the
actors and actresses. In the glass
cabinet always pretended the visit

watching, applauding or reprimand-
ing me severely when l wasn't dra-
matte enough.
Each day / invited to sit in the
cabinet one of the many famous
stagefolk l had heard my mother talk
about. Sometimes it was Sarah Bern
hardt, sometimes Patti, but / gener-
ally played no favorites and sent forth
a worldwide invitation.

THE villain was always the huge
red rocking chair and had been vii

who had the most surprising adven-
lures, was a dainty upholstered little
chair with spindling gilt legs.

actors in turn and when my heroine
