up to the director and


 This last Memorial Day came, and Bill Brenan went to his sandwich shop mostly from force of habit be- cause the studio was closed. He saw sometnlng that he never will forget,
 He saw Mms. Daumery, dress ed in her quaint finery, on her knees beside the bench, painting 1t red. She said, "T cannot make beautiful my boys grave, so in- stead I am fixing up the bench"
 When the painting was finished she bought a hamburger and nib- bled 1t daintily and sat on Bills doorstep waiting for the paint to dry. Then, having no small brush, she dipped a long, tapering, blue- veined, well-manicured forefinger into tiny can of black paint and daubed on the topmost plank, Johns Bench" Then she took the next bus to Hollywood.
 Mime. Carrie Daumery is one of the best-known extras in the screen colony. If she sat opposite you in a bus you'd nudge your companion and say, "1sn't that a character"
 And that's exactly the reason why she's well-known extra. Casting directors remember her as a sort of caricature in Dresden. She is tall and very straight. Other extras call her "The Count ess."
 She wears old-fashioned clothes and a velvet ribbon around her neck. and Queen Mary hats. She wears 8 veil, and her gray hair always is perfectly groomed. And nobody ever has heard her com- plain of weariness.

Mime. Daumery on the payroll when she had not other work. So she or- dered the bench built as memorial to her son. No permission was asked.
 She merely found a man who did that kind of work and took him to the place and said, Build here 8 place for sitting, and make it strong so it will last a long time." And she gave him the words that she want ed painted on the bench.
 It was not very impressive mem orial. Just 6 wooden seat, placed there by the curb in front of Bill Brenan's sandwich shop. But Mime. Daumery felt pretty good about it because she sat there herself and heard the grateful words of other tired extras who would sink down there and say, Well. God bless this John, whoever he is, because I'd have screamed if I'd had to stand in these shoes another minute. I thought they'd never get that last scene. was about ready to hobble

Monument to Actress's Son Becomes Haven for

BY PAUL HARRISON

Hollywood = Across the boulevard from the Warner BSbthers studio in Burbank is a wooden bench where extraS--almoSt invariably they are extras, because they don't have cars of their own-can sit and wait for the Hollywood bus.
 The bench has been there nearly two years, and on 1t have rested thousands of players, young and old, hopeful and discouraged, all of them tired. It is q good, substantial af- fair, its feet set in concrete, its blanks painted red.
 First it was white, and on the back in neat black letters were the words, Johns Bench. Last Mem- orial Day 1t bloomed into scarlet, and on the back appeared the same two words, Johns Bench" in scraw- ling script.
 Of the thousands who sat on 1t, many wondered about it. After the bench changed color all sorts of le- gends grew up about the identity of John" It was only by chance that the true story became known among the extras, and the facts are not half as exciting as the conjectures.
 
 A Mothers Memorial
 John" never sat on the bench. He never worked in Hollywood. He was an ambitious young actor in England until, two years ago, he died.
 The news came to his mother. She is Mime. Carrie Daumery, French woman who lived most of her years in England, but who has been a bit player and extra in Hollywood for some time now.
 Her only son was dead in Eng land. She could not go there. She could not bring his body here. But she wanted to do something. She HAD to do something.
 She thought about 1t as she stood in the evenings, wearily and waited for the bus. She thought 1t would be nice to sit down. She thought about build- ing . bench.
 She had a little money. The cast ing oface at Warmers had orders from the executive office to keep
