Dear Mama Dear
I'm glad | don't have to wear curls
like little lord fauntleroy used to. We
read the story so mama took me out to
Mary pickford's studio to see her being
little lord fanutleroy.
You know she has d bungalow on the
lot at the front of the brunton studios
so she can rest between times so Mr..
larkin hes her p. A.-took us there.
It's such pretty little place, in q
flower garden and while we were wait
ing for them to come off the set, Mrs.
rooms, even little kitchenette.
She comes down to work at O'Clock
every morning so the bungalow is
where she stays most and it is so nice
with its read furniture and ruff1ed cur

When Mary Pickford came in, l
thought she was little boy. She is
so small and had on black velvet suit
and blue silk sash, lace collar and her
hair was in curls.
told her wanted to know how it
felt to be little boy of long ago and
she said boys were much the same then
and now. But she'd rather wear
MILDLY suite and bobbed hair than curls,
and she said she s'posed I'd be mobbed
if l went down broadway dressed that
way and | said Kenneth's hair was
curley and he kept Sticking it back and
cutting it and she said who's Kenneth
and so told her all about all of us and
she wanted to know if the baby looked
like mama and everything and mama
had that new picture Of all of US and
we all looked at it.
So we all sat on the floor ard talked
about children and she said she wanted
a boy and girl and twins and she told
US about her little niece and everything. ,
So when her p. A. came in and asked
how's the interview going, we all laugh
ed and laughed and Miss Pickford said

she told me about playing little lord !

things but it takes so long but I'll re-
