Fredric March, was called from the Studio to New York to co-star with her in “Jealousy.” I told him about that day in Kansas and how a piece of the past had come to hover in the present. Then I got a break. I was sent East on a Publicity mission and found myself free to hurriedly visit the “Jealousy” set with a New York publicist. And there was Freddie March and his co-star, the great Jeanne Eagels, to whom he introduced me as “one of your earliest fans.” I was twenty-nine, more than twice the age of that green kid in Emporia. Not really so very old. And thirty-five should not be old, either. The 19-year-old who was eating breakfast that morning at eleven now was 35 and she had made it big. But I could see that she was very ill. I never dreamed she was so sick she would be gone within months, before she ever made her third film for Paramount. I said, “I was your fan in 1913 in Emporia, Kansas, when you played there with the Dubinskys.” “I was in so many small towns I seldom knew one from the other.” “It was an open-air theatre called the Aerdome.” “I remember, of course. How much better than the tents we sometimes played in.” But she did not remember the boy delivering the letter at the breakfast table who had been confused about “wawtah” and “dolling.” She said she was so sorry not to recall. I said it was all right. And it was okay. She did not haye to remember. It was enough that I did and that the politeness and encouragement given by an actress to an unknown young fan could have some meaning.- I remembered her last words that long-ago morning and I thought it was well she did not recall in 1929. She had said she intended to be great, and she had made good. All the way. Success was very much hers forever even if life itself was slipping- away. I left without reminding her she had said, “If you put your mind to it, you’ll write those plays.” Evidently, I had not put my mind strongely enough. Not so strong as had Amelia Jean put hers. I never wrote them, of course. *** 24 FLEET PRICES 761-5101
