PAGE FOUR. Theatricals : A Page for My Diary— (Dictated by Mary Pickford). WEDNESDAY Sept. 6, 1922. Arose at seven, bathed, dressed and ate breakfast alone, for Dougins had gone to the studio early. Glanced through the newspaper, walked out on the porch, breathing deeply, then played for a moment on the front lawn with Zorro. He tore my sleeve and I gave him a good talking to. The morning ‘was beautiful. . rain had washed all the dust out of the air and I could sce Catalina Island, nearly fifty miles away, with the ocean sparkling around it... In the other direction, far beyond Los Angeles, loomed the magnificent snow-capped peak of Mt. San Bernar. dino. California is never more beau fiful than after the rain. Before leaving for the office, I told Albert to be sure to call up the furniture com- pany and tell them I would take the rugs. Arrived at the office elght-thirty. Enjoyed fully every moment of the fivemile ride. After a short confer ence with Mr. Kerrigan, during which he showed me the last reports from the United Artists on ‘Tess of the Storm Country,” I went to my bun- galow dressing-room. The rain had Drought the flowers out in a new riot of beauty, and everything looked so crisp and clean. I could not help but make a mental note of the contrast between this and the frozen-up East At the bungalow, several members of the executive staff were waiting in the reception room. Mrs. Crinley wanted advice on costumes she was designing for “Tess of the Storm Country,” Mr. Goosson had several sketches of sets to show me; Mr. Lar- kin was there with a newspaper cor. respondent from London who wanted and interview Mme. de Bodamere quickly ar- ranged my costume and insisted that I hurry as they were waiting for me on the stage. Mrs, Cameron handed me six telegrams, all dealing with im- portant busin#ss matters and demand ing immediate answers; also twenty- six letters, some of which discussed personal matters, others purely busi- ness. All demanded immediate re- plies. . Bodamere reminded me again that they were waiting for me on the stage. I glanced at my watch and noticed that it was nine o'clock. “Goodness,” I thought, “time has wings this morning.” “Perhaps we had better answer the telegrams first.” Mrs. Cameron sug- gested, note-book in hand | “Just then the telephone rang. It was the architect for Mother's house. As I took up the receiver, Bodamere swered a knock at the door “It's Oppie," she told me, “with the stills.” ‘But I must get my make-up on— they're waiting for me on the stage. We have three hundred extras today. Most of them are ten dollar people.” “Mrs. Crinley says she simply must see you about the costumes,” Boda mare put in timidly “And these telegrams,” Mrs. Cam- €ron reminded me “We'll do them as T mak I, noting that {t was now minutes past nine.

We rehearsed and shot two scenes. Between acenes, Mr. Larkin introduced the London correspandent and we talked several minutes. Then I rehearsed another scene, autor graphed four pictures for the public- ity department, ten for Miss Bell's department, read and signed six let- ters for Mrs.. Cameron and okayed the telegrams. ‘While taliting to Mr. Goosson about the new sets, the directop called again and I had to leave while we wero constructing a staircase After the acene Mr. Goosson and I managed to complete the staircase, and then I next. ive of the chfldren appearing icture were becoming fretful twenty minutes after twelve mtepped to Do into the car to go The| nch | in the] ed that we pauso for lunch, os 6} Jas studio.

Douglas helped me out of the car in front of his Japanese lunch room. “Are you tired, dear?” he asked. “Not yet,” I replied, “but I’ve got a busy afternoon ahead of me.” He introduced me to Mr. Thorwell and | Mr. Jones, from the Orient, who had information concerning the theft of jour films in Japan. | We discussed among other things, |Dougias’ next picture, “Douglas Fair- banks in Robin Hood,” and the sigan. |tic sets he intends to build I re |turned to the dressing room at one lock. | MM Cameron informed me that rvations had been made for our trip to few York for the following Thursday, I dictated a letter to Mr | O'Brien, our attorney. Mr. Larkin had returned from lunch with the London writer by this ume, and we posed together for sev- cral photographs, after which I went over the production stills with Opple Bodamere sald they were waiting for me on the stage, and ala> that Mr. Mott wanted to talk to me on the phone. Mrs, Cameron brought mo script for Jack’s picture which tad just arrived from New York by spe. cial registered mati, and I gave it to Kodamere to take up to the house, ‘o I could read it after dinner. “I think you should He down and vest for a little while, you have been going so fast this morning,” said Bodamera. “But it's nearly two o'clock," I an swered, “and we have gotten only two scenes today No, Bodamere, tomor maybe, but today we hive ail those extra people.” The arrival of the assistan: direc tor at that mement with the un nouncemant that my next scene was with a baby qsnelled all thought of rest. “We're afraid the baby will get the row Vaudeville _:: News of Local Offerings :: Notes of Filmdom ONE DAY IN THE LIFE OF MARY PICKFORD cross if we don't get the scene before time for his nap.’ I quickly adjusted my Was on the stage at tw: Those scenes with the youngster were indeed a trial. The little telow Was bound and determined to cry. The glare of the lghts frightened him, I think. And in the scene he was supposed to laugh. After ‘an hour and a halt of patient work, I finally discovered that by placing him across my lap on his little tummy and then lifting him up quickly T could get him to laugh. I felt quite elated—a regular Christopher Colum- bus and Edison combined. Shortly before four o'clock, Boda- mere brought me a cup of chocolate, and I paused a few minutes to drink it She said to me in French that the mother of the baby ¥ erying | and was very distressed because t | Little fellow had caused me so much trouble.

Mother came over shortly after four o'clock. Together we watched the taking of several scenes in which I did not appear. Mrs. Cameron brought me some photographic por- traits, the work of a local artist, who wanted to make an appointment for sittings. She said Mr. Larkin had recommended him, also that we wero in need of new pictures for personal as well as publicity purposes. I dic- tated five letters, received a group of yisiting exhibitors, who bore let- ters of introduction from Mr. Abr- ams, and then went to the projection room to see the daily run. When I came out it was after six o'clock, 80 I went to the dressing room to take off my makeup and try on the garments that had been sent out from downtown. Mrs. Dumas was waiting in the res ception room to give me my French lesson. ’ve been here ever since two o'clock,” she told me, and I marveled that she was not impatient. Poor Mrs. Dumas, I thought.
