ITO the editor:
Armed with letters of introduction
from what l have dubbed the Big
Town, we swept down on Hollywood
one morning and was reed. by most
of the screen celebrities with well con-
cealed enthusiasm. At the Famous
PLAYERS studio we run acroSt old
acouaintances in the person of Alan
Dwan, Charlie Furthman and Mar
shall Neilan. The pictures in the
making were The "Rainmaker,"
Beau Geste," Naughty Cinderella"
and Rex Beach's "Padlocked." This
was my first visit to a big studio dur
ing the filming of heart gripping ro-
nance.
l had read and heard that these
giants of the film world could not
even begin to start to act unlest
orchestra was playing "Humoresque'
or "Barcarolle," but always thought
it was Just gag until seen it with
nv own eyes. asked one budding
star IL the music really did have any
effect on her and she said she couldn't
do anything without it. Afterwards
7 watched her in a scene with full
orchestral accompaniment and it
seemed TO me like she must be almost
stone deaf.
The thing that impressed me the
most in this and the other big stu
dos was that everybody that is get
ting more than a beginners salary
say 100000 per wk., has their
own chair to set in with their name
painted on it and though the chairs
is all exactly alike, no real artists
can feel they's a load off his #. W.
less he is setting in his own chair. As
picture actors does more setting than
anybody except ball players 1t is no
more than natural that they should
want and have chairs, but it come to
me like a bolt from the blue that a
chair with your name on it would be
any more settable than a anonymous
chair.
Ny first act when I get back home
will be TO have my name in full on
the chair ! generally always set in
and if 1 catch one of the kiddies set
ting in that chair I will have one
of the hired help give him a kind of
a hint that he is de trop. I CLEANED
that this is proper procedure from a
episode that took place vile we was

And Geo. Gays why ny heaven It's

EGBERT sCORNs MATERIAL.
On account as soon az We was on
the train Cousin Egbert took the seat
next to me and swung around to talk,
leaving Geo. fine view Of the pattern
on the back Of his 45c seat while
Cousin Egbert told ne all about how
he loved the common-people, how they
was really much better then We was,
and how the Injuries Of life meant
absolutely nothing to him-what he
liked was the downtrodden but hon
est workin ;-msn. He was strong for
him, the stronger the better.
Well, by that time we had come
into the city, and George says what
the heck, there amt a street car in
sight. But Cousin Egbert says, hey,
taxi, and in we got. And I says
VIC might Of gone on the subway, and
Cousin Egbert says al yes, we might,

Well, the restaurant Cousin Egbert
suggested was the famous Fits-Call-
down, and Cousin Egbert said he had
always despised this famous string of
hotels, which they have them all over
Europe and the continent and SO forth,
as well as in the leading cities of
the Z. S. A. Of America. He had al
ways despised this hotel, see, because
Of the things it typified, the wanton,
hideous luxury Of wealth, and the
falseness Of fashionableness, or some-
thing. But he had never been in one
of these hotels before, and now he was
glad to take this opportunity Of con-
firming his suspicious.
DINING A La MODE.
And that wasn't all he took, neither.
he took Canopy Of picked popovers a
la mud. He took soupe de Superflu-
Gus, tout suite. Then he had the
French equivalent for fried fish, fresh
imported, stuffed Chinese duck, with
new green potatoes and ripe walnuts,
salade a la garbage, a Peach Melba
at grand opera prices, a bit or bite,
/ amt sure which. Of cheese, nd
small cup Of demi-tasse coffee. And
since l and George couldn't read the
bill of fare as quick as Egbert could,
on account We didn't have our French
dictionary along, well since that was
the case, we both said we'd take the
same.
MONEY DOESN'T COUNT.
So it was certainly n wonderful
meal. And when it vas all over. Cou-
sin Egbert seemed to Of kinda got
over his prejudice against the Fits-
Calidown Hotels. at least he didn't
display no objection TO the food while
1t lasted. In fact when he pushed
back the few remaining knives and
spoons, be says ha how few of rs
really understand the Art of Eating.
especially we Americans, really it
takes artist to order properly bal

And Geo. says yeh, and properly

properly balanced bank account 70

well. you will admit that was a de-
licious dinner? And Geo. says SUE
It was, it ought 70 be, its going to
cost enough. And Cousin Egbert say,
there you 90 again-money, money.
money, all you butter and egg men
think about is money! Now we artists
don't consider those things. With We
artists now, things are different. The
true artist never considers money

just then Cousin Egbert come back
and told US be wasn't able 70 get thu

things it buys.
Well, it was the Follies that We
went TO see, and naturally they was
full of luxury and what there was
in the way of costumes was extremely
expensive and could Of been measured
By the carat rather then by the yard.
And naturally this give Cousin Eg-
bert dandy chance to tell US a lot
about the falseness and vice of being
rich because it produced this kind of
thing, such as We was seeing at this
very moment, and he also told US how
he really preferred plays by a COM
poser called Ibsen, where they come
out in all their clothes, and the Mind
got appealed to, and how he loved the
mind and simple things such as the
great open spaces.
THE OPEN SPACES.
And George says, well, old timer,
there seems to me to be plenty of great
open spaces, between the costume
parts right here. And Cousin Egbert
says how typical, and I says how vuI-
gar Of you, George. Lets get out Of
here, says Cousin Egbert, the atmo.
sphere chokes me, let US leave the
very minute the last act is over, and
go get snack Of supper at one Of the
good night clubs before I take a train
and my departure.
So we done that little thing, and
paid a five dollar cover charge per
cat at the Club Yourrol, SOS Cousin
Egbert could tell US, in the proper
atmosphere, how sick such pretenses.
such getting away from the natural
things Of life, made him. And then,
while George was paying that check.
Cousin Egbert rushed out and grabbed
his suitcase which he had checked
outside, this being the one check be
attended to, and he rushed out to save
time, on account it was after mid.
night and he was going to Chicago on
the one o'clock to spread his doctrines
md knock off little art.
Naturally we didn't try to detain
him from such a noble errand, and we
vent on over TO the depot, and while
Geo. was buying his reservations for
him, Cousin Egbert was telling mo
good bye, holding both Of my hands,
md looking into my eyes and telling
ne / had a wonderful soul, and that
some day he hoped 10 see me Ioosed

So then we put him on the train,
md by that time his last wish, the
me about me being free from all my
money, had just about come true. And
ls we turned TO the simpler, rcaler
hiugs Of life, in the shape Of the sub.
