CHAPTER XXXvII

CHAplEh NNNNll
-MTE HADN'T been back in New York
w long before knew that was to pay
for the association with Stanley Quen-
tin that ! had so enjoyed. and pay for
II dearly, too.
The night we got back to town was
frightfully stormy. with cold. sleety
wind shrieking through the streets.
Mrs. Lane met us at the Grand Cen
tral Station in Sandys big car, and
we drove home in sullen silence that
didn't promise good for any one.
went to my own room as soon as
We reached the apartment. saying that
I was very tired and didn't care for
anything to eat, but Malcolm Sandy
and Mrs. Lane went to the dining
room.
] had rather hoped that I'd find
note from Derry. but there wasn't
line. There wasn't anything, except
bundle of fan mail. That made me
lonelier. II / could have sat down and
'e'"Nh W lht DNOpl' "NO " Nliibtll
from all over the country Id have felt
better, but, of course. I couldn't. So
| sat there on my bed and read their
letters and tried TO pretend that was
having a nice. friendly visit with those
people who'd cared enough about my
work on the screen to write to me.
I don't believe that the public has
any idea of what fan mail means TO an
actress. OF course, some of the stars
don't read theirs; they have It put in
their contract that somebody is to be
paid for by the company for which they
work to take care of their mail. But
most of us love to get the letters that
are our own only applause; the letters
that tell whether people like us or not
aSd why; the letters that come from
lOuely people who have made us their
friends. Why, there's a girl who works
in a factory in New England whose
first letter / read this very night I'm
telling you about she said that all the
other girls had chums, but that she was
n stranger in the town and hadn't one.
and so she just pretended that | was
her chum. That friendship means as
much to me as it does to her.
And then there's the dear little
woman down South. who wrote and
told me how poor she was and asked if

I'D worn in pictures. ! had to write
back and tell her that the things she
wanted had been absolutely ruined by
grease paint and lights and being
dragged around over the rough boards
in the studio. But ] did manage to
send her something else, and we got
to be such good frrndS-onIy last week
she named her baby girl for me!
But fan mail means more even than
just the friendship Of people like that
You see, we work and work in the
studio or out on location and, of course.
the people with us tell us what they
think of our work. or pretend TO. but
we don't know from that what the peo-
pie we're really working for are going
to think. Why. take one Of the biggest
things Lillian Gish has ever done-the
scene in "Broken Blossoms" where

as It would grip starved little waif
of twelve. that can be imagined, IT
seems to me.
Now Lillian made that scene in a
studio that was quite empty, save for
Mr.. Griffith and the Cameraman. The
closet was just little three -cornered
affair, made of rough boards-there
was hardly enough of it to convey an
idea of reality. Mr.. Griffith filed in
the scene for her-Donald Crisp had
finished his work and gone on a fish =
ing trip. down in Southern California
and he'd say things like. Now he's
hammering on the door and calling to
you-now he's getting an ax-now he
crashing through the door-he's going
to kill yOu-he'll drag you out and kill
you-" that sort of thing.
If she had played that scene on the
stage there would have been a breath E
less silence from the audience. fol-
lowed by storm of applause, In that
there would have been inspiration. But
to play it alone in big. bare. dim
studio-just to go at it cold, as you
might say-well. that's different.
Months later, after the picture had
been released, came the applause. in
the form of letters. They came to Lii
Ian from everywhere. But then her
work was far in the past, and she was
getting ready for another picture.
SO you see, that's what fan mail
