Tn spite of frequent references to "honie," the young actor is not at al home5ick.
 Every one here has been so charm ing to ds," he explained, you can only be homesick if you are unhappy. Do you know the very day we came we saw the sign Wiltshire on a boulevard and we felt wed coms home You see, we are moonrakers' from Wiltshire-the only difference is a t. I wanted to tell the story of moonrakers over the wire less last night, but hadn't time. If you think you can stand it, I'll tell it now
 Tt seems that there was a well open to the world. A mar. came along and saw in it something large and yellow. so he got rake ant Legan to rake the waters for cheese. Other men came by and asked what he was doing and he showed them the yellow in the well and they got rakes, ,oo. It was. of course. just the reflection of the moon, but that is how we got our name"

 The fret screen child I ever inter- viewed was a small boy who was playing Little Willie in Fast Lynne" His father accompanied him and while the parent was present, the youngster rattled of a glib. plainly memorized stc ctement. The moment the father left US to get soms photographs, little Richard tiptoed over and shut the deor firmly
 TNHEN he turned to me.
 Il Are you any good at marbles?" hs asked.
 said I was willing to try
 Well. you'll have to do" lie decided. @Hurry up now, he'll be back!" We played marbles with determined haste until the parent returned.
 Such tactics would be unnecessary for Freddie. No one insists on his doing things he doesn't wish to do. He has never been spanked in his life.
 "Cizsie doesn't punish me-" he volun- teered. an arm about her neck
 You've never deserved it. she re- turned.
 T may deserve 1t rather often, but never get it." he differed. But of course we are such good friends that she naturally would hesitate. She's my guardian and I'm hers. It's my chief business to take care of her"
 That is true," smiled Miss Bartholo- new, Ines always watching me to see if my appetite is good, if I'm warm enough, or if I'm getting tired While we were in New York where Freddie made per- sonal appearances, we hsd to sit up quite late because he appeared at every show. We were never in before II o'clock at night and sometimes it was later. Naturally. I had to catch up on my correspondence after we got home.
 "One night I was writing letter at midnight. when I heard the batter. batter of bare feet. There came Freddie. his eyes full of sleep.
 What on earth are you doing? he asked.
 I'm writing to Granny told him. You know she'll worry if she doesn't hear from us
 She'll worry much more If you are ill., he reminded me, severely Give me tAiAt iCttCI d I1t lUOk lt anu wrote across the end: Good d-night and much love. Cissie is very tired and t is midnight, so am sending her to bed thought that was rather sweet"
 I released him then. and he sprang up with alacrity. observed that he must be bored to tears with inter- viewers by this time.
 "Oh. no." he replied. politely, T find them quite interesting. They all ask such different questions. It's a great game to think up the answers!"
 Now let me tell you that Freddie has just as remarkable mentality as he has personality. Recently while in Holly wood, Freddie was given an "intelli- gence test by Dr. Elizabeth S. Wood, examining psychologist for the Holly wood Board of Education. Freddie passed with flying colors. He was given a rating of border genius" In explana- tion, his mark was 136 points. while 40 to l60 points is the 'qcnius division"
