T HERE echoes through my
memories of California the
early morning song OF the
lark. who calls to his mate as ne
flies over the housetops to the green
hills and wheatfields beyond. Nor
was it always a dawn song, because
this gray and yellow-breasted song
ster. growing almost as bold as the
knocking birds, would fly down to
the studio gardens and MARBLE SEN
timental accompaniment to all OF our
scenes.
One little lark incident lingering
in my mind is OF the morning we
were taking a scene in The Found
ling" where I, as Molly-O. paused
in my work of cleaning the stove to
dream of the lonely little children L
had left at the orphanage.
Not a sound could be heard except
The rustic of the wind in the tall
eucalyptus-even the endless hammer
beats of the city seemed far away
because our studio was among the
hills and trees of Hollywood sub
urb of Los Angeles.
I'm this scene real tears must flow
the big, splashing tears that spell
the tragedy of our childhood,
prompted the director, as he stood
beside the camera, waiting for that
psych illogical moment when / so en-
tered into the character of the little
orphan girl that I could forget it
was an art aud not a real heartsehe
that enguIfed Molly-O.
You who have always thought the
screen tears were triekied in by q
convenient eye-dropper must be con-
WINGED that such is not the case. For
we who play part must live a part,
and when there comes an unhappy
hour in the life OF the little character
we portray we weep as well as we
laugh with her; in fact, we are no
longer ourselves. but the real, truly
people Of the story.
= But ii is not always as easy to cry
as it is to laugh, and on this early
summer morning. when the skies
were unelouded and the subtle per-
fume of. the flowers was whipped by
the breeze across the studio yard.
there were no tears within my heart
and / felt as il | could better sing
than weep. I would rather it had
been a rough-and-tumble scene where
Billy Whiskers, the goat, and | could
have a tussle, or | could chase the
pound wagon that had captured my
orncry little yellow dog But it was
destined by schedule that was to
weep, so I resigned myself to the
inevitable.
Hidden in back of the set was a
musician who drew bow across his
violin, and could hear throbbing
strains of low, sweet music, which
sounded like q little voice singing to
me from out the darkness. And then
the lark came to perch in tree just
above the studio, and carol forth a
joyous morning song which died like
the notes of the violin in piaintive.
wistful little trill.
Over and over he sang his little
song, until the walls of the scenery
faded away and, like the Arabia n

whisked from the sight and the
sound of camera to the very gates
OF the orphanage.
Hello, Molly-Ow I could hear the
little voices calling me. "A lark is
singing in the tree. Do you suppose
they will ever open these dreadful
gates so that we can scamper
through the fields and see the
meadow larks ourselves?"
Little prisoners, cried out to,
them, stretching forth my arms
as II could fold each one Of
them to my heart. Some day the
gates will swing open wide and you
shall all come out and turn your lit
tie faces to the sun 80 the shadows
will fall behind you" And because
they laughed with me, these little.
wistful children, I cried as il my
heart would break. Nor did | even
think at the time that the tears
coursing down my cheeks were be-
ing registered by the camera.
And so, you unbelicvers, you who
