Opens Arms to Visitors
By Ring Lardner

Chaplin's studio, but the promising
young comic made up for it by treat.
ing us like our visit had rendered 1t
a perfect day. We set in nameless
chairs and watched him make several
scenes in his new picture, ''The
Circus" which comes out next fall
and will be WOW from what we seen
of it. Vile the different lights and
etc was being got in readiness. Charlie
entertained us with limitations Of vari-
GUS nuts and finely overwhelmed US
with invitation TO dine at his house
on the following Saturday night.
So we dined their en- famillie with
Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie and the mother
in-law and Harry Croker, a genial
friend of Charles who doubles as his
secretary and also gives him advice
which he don't take. Charlie has got
his own screen and projecting machine
and after dinner be said he had 3
new pictures which we could take our
choice. The was "Tumbleweeds" and
The Devils Circus" and something
else and we chose The DEVILS Cir.
GUS"
DANGER LOOMS.
Another feature of the Chaplin
home is n big pipe organ which
Charlie played on it for us. His taste
runs to soft, foreign sounding tunes
and improvisations and he plays
everything in the key of +. All and
all this was as nice an evening a. we
spent in the West and from now on !
will be a Chaplin booster. You Seunem-
Der how l used to pan him.
We dropped in for few minutes at
q midnight party given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Conway Tearle, she being the
former Adele Rowland and one of my
favorite musical comedy gals. We met
Buster Keaton and Trixie Friganza
and renewed a old acquaintance with
Nora Bayes and seen 4 or 5 Of the
Talmadge girls and etc, but this time
We was SO immune to brushing
shoulders with different notorieties
that ] swear I can't remember frac-
ton of those we was introduced to.
And our last day in Hollywood we
was taken in toe by Teddy Hayes
who used to train Jack Dempsey.
Teddy can get in more places than
Houdini can get out Of and is welcome
everywhere he goes. His chief enjoy
ment in life seems to come from doing
things for people aud the only time
he gets mean is when you try to pay
a check. Well, anyway be introduced
us to Valentino and Wilma Banky and
Sgd Chaplin and "Chuck" Reisner,
who is directing sgd in 'The Better
Ole and finely, in the Famous
Players studio, he asked me If ]
wanted to meet Pola Negri and said
yes and Miss Negri was resting be-
tween scenes of Naughty Cinderella"
which they are going to call Good
and Naughty" for no reason, and she
was reading magazine and ] will
hardly forget the self-control she eI-
hibited when the introduction was
made.

] am OF course unprepared to say
how sound this German medico's
views on the subject Of talk as an
aid to the recovery Of health, may
be, but there can be no doubt that
talk in a doctors ante-room might
lead to the recovery OF spirits. Why
do we always sit there speeches.? The
answer is merely because it IS the
custom.

EGBERT DRAWS FIRE.

And while that was a good line IN

tired hearing the moonlight sonata,
so i had got in the way Of coming
back with, for heaven sake, George
Jules, can that chatter, money isn't
everything, or some such conven-
tional vifely remark. And as PEI
usual, this would give Geo. a fresh
start. 30 I was very glad When

interruption.
Now Cousin Egbert was quite a
artist. Hes been drawing all his
life, drawing the criticism Of the
whole family, and drawing It sue

known for drawing eorks, drawing
up chairs, drawing blanks and onct
in a long while, drawing a picture,
or something which passes for one
that Is, mean 70 say II you pass
quickly enough. But he Is a artist, all
right. You can tell It Just as soop
as you meet him. All you got to do
is look at his hair.
, And II that and his clothes don't tell
you at once that he is a artist, why
be personally himself will tip you off

off a mention Of when I was paint

MUTUAL SYMPATHY.

II mere surroundings may awaken
mutual sympathy, where should a
feeling OF brotherly COMMUNICATION
flourish more naturally than in the
waiting room Of a modern doctor?
How can you know that the gentle
man who has just taken the last IN.
occupied chair and is staring vacantly
at the wall over your head, is not
waiting a verdict that will mean re-
taining or parting with some portion
Of his interior anatomy?
How can you know that the middle
aged woman in the rocking chair is
not at this moment wondering whether
indigestion can assume the likeness
to a disordered heart? A little con-
versation on some agreeable topic,
might convince her that Il can, but
no one starts the conversation.
Is it not your duty 10 speak
friendly word Of encouragement to the
patient who, in order Of priority,
win be the next victim summoned
TO the dreadful inner chumbcr? II
happens TO be young lady in costly
furs. She sits with one small foot
tapping the carpet. She might resent
sympathy; she might regard it as an
impertincncc, were you to say, Mine
is a disordered liver; ! trust yours
is nothing worsef'
NOT DONE IN L. $.
Perhaps in The German physician
antc-room such remarks are encour-
aged, but in New York or Boston
it simply isn't done. With your
heart drawn toward every person
in that room as q fellow being in
distress, you must pretend that the
assemblage is Of n most casual char.
acter; as tho the apartment were
merely the waiting room Of a railway
station, from which one OF you would
depart presently upon some mission
Of pleasure or profit.

Wishing to keep his expenses
at "a minimum, he told the mem

many of their friends as they
desired, to see how movies were
made. He had chartered an Erie

extra passengers meant no adj

So keen was the interest in
motion pictures, however, more
than $50 visiting guests arrived
at the depot. When, later. these
