To the end of his life, he'll aways be "the lonely dog" to Farley. There was only one dog to say good-by to when he left for camp last February That was Boots, who has wirehair whiskers but is otherwise mixed in lineage but certainly not affections. The year they moved to Los Angeles, he found Boots's fuzzy head poking out of his Christmas stocking, to help make up for the dogs he'd left behind. He's never forgotten them, though. Couldn't if he wanted to, which he doesn't. Because in his prayers, it was always God bless Mother and Dad and then the whole tribe of dogs. They're still in his prayers. Seems kind of unfriendly somehow to shove 'em out — They moved to Los Angeles because Dad lost his business in the depression. On account of being a veteran of the last war, he managed to get a Civil Service job. The only thing they really craved was a house, because when you've always lived in a house and yard, apartments kind of get you down. So they got this place in North Hollywood and, to help out, Mother took a job in the Five-and-Ten. Farley helped out, too — mowed lawns, worked in markets, made his own bedj and dried the dishes. On his way from school, he'd stop at the Five-and Dime, and Mother'd tell him what to bring home from the market for dinner. She's nice enough to say he helped with the cooking, too, but all he remembers is turning the gas off and on while she rustled the food. Some of the meals they gave Dad were pretty rugged, but they did the best they could, and there was always a laugh in it somewhere — Even up in San Jose he was crazy about the movies. After seeing a show, he'd line up all the kids, sit 'em on the curb and act the whole thing out, rippling heroine and all. Sometimes they'd sit through it. Other" times they'd say, "Nuts, we'd rather see the picture," and walk out on him. But he didn't discourage easy. A couple of agents lived in North Hollywood, and he'd pester them about how to break into the movies — "Get yourself into some play," they'd advise, like they'd said to every other stage-struck youngster. "Get some place where people can see you — " Except for the war, he might have waited till after graduation. But he was bent on getting a couple of licks in before he was called. So he looked around and heard they were putting on "The Wookey" at the Mary Stuart Playhouse. He walked in, a little green around the gills, and asked to see the director — "I'd like a part, Mr. Vivian." "What have you done?" "Well — not very much." I SAW IT HAPPEN Two years ago, I attended a Bond Rally in Westerly, R. I., where vivacious Greer Garson was selling bonds — and selling them fast. When she came onstage, she said, "I am so happy to be here. I don't know when I've ever seen so many beautiful babies as I have today. Won't you please tell me where they all came from?" Whereupon my twelve year old daughter called in a loud, clear voice across the park, "Mother, don't you really think she knows?" Mrs. Doris C. Briggs, Pittsfield, Mass.
