mine dropped into my dressing
room for chat. Each one in turn
began giving interesting incidents

telling us some very thrilling adj
ventures She had had with animals.
One in particular was about the
time during the filming OF a scene
in The Adventures of kathlyn'
when an elephant she was riding
became scared and ran away le-
more Ulrich then offered some
amusing happenings about New
York. The inspiration for this IN
stalmcnt came when Myrtle Stcd-
man began telling me OF her child
hood days when she would always
coax her mother for the "lcav
