nOCG and I began our meal alone
in the sunny breakfast room, blu;
before we had two helpings of cakes
Frank Case joined US, and when we
were ready to eat a third breakfast
Mary looked in on US.
1t was, a jolly breakfast party-that
is. il any morning meal can be described
as jolly. We talked Of everything from
seedless oranges to the horrors Of Holly
wood, and after discussing what would
be the most amusing way to spend the
day. we decided to omit luncheon and
motor over to the studio.
"Charlie'll be over tonight and we'll
have some laughs" Doug announced. as
he called for the car. DO you want to
go over to the studio with me?" he asked
Mary. who merely answered that she
would be ready in a minute. And so
we all bundled of for the Fairbanks
Pickford studio in Hollywood to see If
everything was as We had left it the
night before.
When it is explained that Mary IL
building a bungalow on the Tot" and
Doug is having a Turkish bath con-
structed on his athletic feld-in add
ton to their respective ''sets"-their
anxiety to visit their studio on Sunday
may be understood. And II was surpris-
ing how much activity we encountered
there. When a studio is in the throes OF
picture making Sunday is almost like
any other day. in fact, it was almost Z
O'Clock before we were back at Beverly
Hills for dinner. Charlie Chaplin had
Joined US with us to spend a quiet even
ing at the studio and he returned with
Mary and Doug.
Our dinner Sunday evening was
little livelier than the night before for
Charlie loves to talk and he monopolized
most Of the conversation. Doug and
Mary didn't agree with him on anything
but that only made 1t more interesting.
Charlie, you're nut" Mary re-
peated after each oratorical outburst on
the part of the famous comedian. AT
which Charlie would make a funny face
that would set US all in roars Of laugh
ter.
BEFORE the inevitable picture
D show Charlie suggested that We
have 1lve-minute speeches on subjects
selected at random from a hattie Ia
yorite indoor sport of this famous MIN
trio. We all wrote subjects on slips OF
paper which We dropped In one Oh
Doug's derbies and which we drew out
later, after they had been Thoroughly
mixed up. AS luck ~would have IL
Charlie drew the slip on which had
written the word warts ana ne

important subject.

Mary explained to me, for l was again
on her right THE other evening ne
made a speech on socialism to our n'e
dogs and he kept right on talking lot
three hours. although three OF 'he
animals walked out on him.

parture he admitted that he had slepl
through most Of the program.
But It must be remembered tha'
Mary and Doug are still young peopie'
Mary is twenty-eight and Dough Is
only. ten years her senior. BESIDES
this is the only night life there is IN

young people are very much In love
one movie show is as good as another.
