April IL. 1918-Mother and 1 were
going out to Universal City this
morning when one of the men on
the lots came by in his car and
gave US a lift. I sat in the front
seat and mamma In back. j turned
around to mother and said, .Oh,
hasn't he got lovely curly hair?"
Mother and the man laughed and ]

hair anyway. He's awfully good.

we're both in the same company. l
think ! should like to very much.
They're putting on q picture in
which I'm supposed to be a cannibal
queen. It's all a dream Of a boy
who eats too much pie.
Hero Writes Always"
April 20. 1861 didn't do any
work today. but I had to be "A the
city just the same. So three Of us
decided to go and get a picture of
Herbert Rawlinson. It's only the
second time I've seen him, but he
gave US all q picture anyway. He
was in his dressing room and three

but Away on mine. One OF the
girls said he was awful handsome
behind his back, and / told on her.
After that we went up in the
grandstand with all the tourists and
watched lem shoot some scenes"
I like Universal City. All the
buildings are white cement and
clean. And they have a lovely gar
den scattered around in different
empty spaces TO take out-of-door
scenes. And then, too. there's the
old lot, which is a wild stretch Of
rugged land all overgrown, where
they take pictures Of the Wild West.
We did a fairy tale there, too.
Our company Is doing a bunch of
kid pictures. We have a wide scope
for stories, too. l enjoy being In
the different kinds of things. Pic
ture work is so different from the
stage. OF course, l always liked nv
stage work. but there's no chance
for real education-and j like TO
study. But it's always a show every
night. and at least two matinees.
And II you're in stock there are al

I've never known anything diff.

the stage-six years ago. But a lot
has happened since then. There were
the dancing and vaudeville and the
New York productions-and travel
ing on the road in other shows. But.
anyway, pictures Is what interests
me now.
Are Great Friends.
August 4. 1916-Funny thing. but
Herbert and i are getting to be great
friends. He has lots of magazines,
with all kinds of stories that ] can
read. And they contain lots about
him. which interests me. While I'm
working l spend most the whole dav
in his dressing room reading. He

She's in upstairs and Down" now:
her name is Roberta Arnold. She's
very beautiful-dafk and tall, like /
may be some day. I wouldn't think
he'd like to be separated so much
from her, but people on the stage
have to get used to that. l think
he cares an awful lot for her. I'd
like to meet her, but since she's on
the road l guess l won't. But maybe
some day I'll start wandering again
and then we'll meet. And she and
can talk over her.
September 11,1916-Thinss have
been drifting along the same. My
work will soon be finished at the
city, but I'll still have my friends
that I've made there. OF course,
that includes Herb. He and
drifted in a very pleasant friend
ship among others. Cause l know
all the u. UniversaD stars.
Priscilla Dean. I like. The sets of
stars are always changing, so peo-
pie who are big now won't be big
like the war they're
raving over; It'll be over soon.
December "a, 19l6-Herbert came
up to the house this morning and
brought me a Christmas present,
which ! can't open until tomorrow.
I'm dying to see it-but he made
me promise I wouldn't, 30 j won't.
He didn't stay long, but drove away
In his car. He has a "Hup."
Gave Her Dolls.
December rs, 1916-What Herbs
package contained were dolls with
paper material to make dresses
out of and little white buttons to
paste on. I've seen them in the
store and I'm glad he got them for
me. I always get what / want. any.

to me as somebody-'cause oh,
wanted them. ] made a number OF
pin balls for Christmas and / let
Herbert pick out the one he liked
best to carry in his pocket when
he needed a pin on the set" They
were made out OF bright colored
silk. Though I'm not very domes-
ticated, ! did do these, for special
people. Herb is special-always,
always.
March, 1911 haven't seen much
Of Herb of late.
