WHEN THEY'RE NOT WORKING

mind where the beach is. If you live close to it, you know, anyway. And if you dont, there is no use stirring up vain longings. Suffice it to say that when Ollie isn't working she's usually swimming— in an exceedingly becoming darkblue, woolen swimming-suit, with a brilliant silk cap that only partially conceals her black hair.
There are lots of amusing things that one may do when one isn't working. But I'm afraid Viola Dana's task, when this picture was snapped, doesn't come under any of those heads. She is very busy answering letters from admirers and autographing photographs that are to be sent in answer to abject requests from aspiring swains. Viola never neglects a letter nor fails to comply with a request for an autographed photograph. But she's quite human, you know, and I'm sure a little bit more sincerity goes into a letter and photograph where the admirer has enclosed a quarter for postage. For photographs and postage stamps do make a hole in one's salary, when one is
a popular young star, even with a popular young star's salary.
When May Allison isn't working she's resting. And she rests by either playing a hot game of tennis, driving her snowwhite machine at a dashing pace along California's justly celebrated roads, or by just sitting and thinking about — oh, about a lot of things. That's what she was doing when "the snapshot man" caught this one. What was she thinking about? Oh, she might have been wondering what she was going to have for dinner, or whether that new frock would photograph well; but I believe that she was thinking of a nice long spin in the white machine, for she is looking anxiously towards the garage where the white car lives.
There ! I have shown you what a few of the players do when they aren't working. And mayhap, some day, I'll show you what some more of them do, when the little, round eye of the Moving Picture camera isn't around and only a "snapshot man" makes life a bugbear.
