It seems to satisfy them when they have demonstrated their child's ability and 1 have been duly appreciative, although explaining, at the same time, that there is nothing I can do to get them work in pictures. i There are amusing momenta tn > this office, too. Just the other day i a woman rushed up to the window ’ and demanded in a breathless ■ voice: “When does it leave?" i I looked blank. Thought Studio Airport ' "Don't be stupid," she scolded. “Send out for my baggage and ' i have my car parked. I can't have ! but a few minutes to catch my ’ plane." 1 I told her she was not at the air ■ terminal (we are close to it) and she didn't seem to believe me.

When I first came here, most of the stars and feature players went through the front door, Corinne Griffith, Dorothy Mackal 1. Colleem Moore. Alice White. Milton Sills. I Maria Corda and many others came by almost every day. Now it Is the newer players, who don't krow that they «•« onto the lot. who come through here.
