'HEN does Jack Pickford sleep?" Ask the doorman and he'll shrug his shoulders, his manager is equally ignorant of his drowsy hours, and young Jack himself admits — but we're ahead of our story.

The information clerk wearily directs you to Mr. Pickford' s suite in the big Brunton dressing-room building. Of course, you dont find Mr. Pickford there, and the doorman doesn't expect you to — he's merely making room for the next inquirer. A polite individual near the door labeled "Pickford" advises you to try the dark stage, as Jack just went there. Arriving there, you are promptly shipped to the glass stages, and when you've made the rounds, climbed over piles of building material — for the Brunton studios are still in the building process — and hunted for Mr. Pickford in bosky dells and Japanese tea-gardens, you pant fully beg everybody about the place to please hold the star of "A Mile-a-Minute Kendall" until you get there on the second round.

"Good-morning," cheerfully nodded the Pickford heir. "Sorry you couldn't find me, but I always have so many places to go. Do you know, mother was terribly shocked on our trip out West. Jim Kirkwood and I played bridge all night and slept in the day, missed the beautiful scenery and did everything that m other thinks ought not to be done at night. But there's something so fascinating about defying all conventions and turning one's duties as well as pleasures about.
