As you know, / gradually drift.
ed into the film-producing bust
me off my feet. found that
had talents undreamed Of. and
that I might make q name for
myself and fortune insthat line Of
endeavor my whole heart and
soul became wrapped in produc-
ing, and they still are. ! started
on a small scale and went at IL
easily at first. feeling my way.
and IL ! would not you would
have been found at a studio far
from home day and night most of
the time. i made my home my
studio. / made my home my
study. I had your permission and
your cooperation.
CALLS WIFE GENEROUS.
You helped me wonderfully. You
were very generous and gracious.
/ have said this to everybody and
everybody knew Il without my
telling them. I have often COM
plimented you on this phase Of
your generous nature, and you
have listened to me praise you
for 1t. Now. you take another at
titude. You say that It Is OBJ
noxious to you. You complain
that you have no home. that il is
constantly overrun with film peo-
pie mussing UP things and bOr-
rowing and running your clothes.
You complain that you have the
right TO suit yourself and that
am always engaged with films
and film people.
1t is all true SUPPOSE that
you lived in q hotel. Suppose
that we were in Pine Forest Inn
and l was making pictures there.
Would IL not be about the same?
You would have certainly have
seen less Of me under these con-
ditions. Were / away from you
taking and making pictures, you
would always be worrying about
where was and what was i
doing. You would be lonesome.
Is it not so? Now you are tired
Of ii all.
/ am sorry, but Il is too late.
Il
least. not for the present. I have
spent about 5000 in fitting up
our place as a studio and 1
have made up rooms. scenery
rooms, scenery and lights. and
everything. am fixing a studio
where the chicken houses were,
or arranging for il, and all this
will save thousands OF dollars this
spring and summer.
CORLISS Is INDISPENSABLE.
Furthermore. / shall have to
have help and Corliss is indis-
pensable to me. ! must always
have her around hereafter. We
understand each other perfectly
now, and she Is perfectly salts
fled to see me through. Her in
terests and mine are mutual and
she has promised to stick and I
know that she will.
With her as my star and my
helper am bound to succeed
Without her as my star I would
not want to go on. Ny one
great ambition now is TO make
the world recognize her as a
great star and me as her creator
and director.
Now there il no cause for YOU
TO dislike this or her. You are
entirely wrong in what you in
sinuated- She loves you. She
wrote to you a few days after
she received yours. and IL was
laid here for William to mail.
II was partly my fault that il
was not mailed. The date on the
letter and the postmark date
will confirm what I say. She is
just as loyal to you as she can
be. and fully appreciates all YOU
have done for her. / feel that
you do not know her vet. I
know that you and she will get
along better hereafter.
do not see how I can make
any changes to make things more
agreeable to you. II is impossible
TO divide the current so that the
film people on the one side and
you can have your privacy during
filming. because the dining room
is located centrally and I cannot
Keep people out OF the library and
music room. That would leave
you only your bedroom and bath
and no way to get back and
forth.

could not finish on account of
the many people around. We

Jules. Wilma. Muriel. Mr.. Hodgin-
kinson and lie Due.
We will write later and finish
my summing up.
