In the event of my death the money goes to Peg and in the event of her death, too, it goes to Natalie's boys. Afraid to Have a Baby I WISH I had had a baby. I wish I had had one when I was married the first time. I adore children and I wish to God I had had one when I was very young and not afraid of pain. I am afraid of pain now. My dentist doubles his price to me because I am so ghastly to work on. Physical suffering is an ogre I do shudder to face. " I like to read. I like to be alone. 1 like a few parties because I love many people. The endless words that have been written about my living from day to day are false. Rot. Untrue. Few of us in public life create ourselves. We create a first impression and that remains. . "I'm tired of being a comedienne, skimming the surfaces of things.

"Please Heaven!" murmured your correspondent dcvoutlv. "The movies need (;eorge Bernard Shaw, the great cinematographic public needs C.eorgc Bernard Shaw.

"Jannings must not remain in the way, continued your correspondent fervently. "Jannings must accede to a Greater Force, Jannings must pale before a Brighter Light. Jannings must be spoken to by Mr. Fox!" "Did I understand you to say that Jannings must be spoken to by Mr. Fox?" asked Mr. Shaw,^ paling slightly. "Thats out— quite out." . "One thing more. Will you, along with your acting in the movies, write them? " "Will I write them? Well, well." The sage mused.
