Why don't you take the train, come on to New York and get away from it all. No one will know where you are. I'll turn my house over to you and Daisy and you can get your health and peace of mind back. Why don't you?" Thoughtful Harry. It was a splendid suggestion. No one would dream I had gone all the way to New York in the event that I could leave Dallas under cover. It would be a chance for a complete rest. In a second my mind was made up. "Thanks, loads, Harry," I said. "I'll do it." WE stole away from Dallas with what we thought was the greatest secrecy and soon were en route to New York congratulating ourselves that no one, outside of ourselves, knew our secret. We were mistaken. Through those mysterious underground channels known to newspapers and newspapermen, the news had leaked. The press in New York was eagerly awaiting my arrival. Despite the fact that Harry had been so considerate and thoughtful I was forced, at this time, to play a rather shabby trick on him. It is rather amusing and he laughs about it now, but at the time it seemed rather serious, particularly from my standpoint. As the train stopped at Harmon, New York, imagine my complete surprise when a publicity man from the Paramount home office stepped aboard and entered my drawing-room. I had known him on the Coast. He wasted no time. "Clara," he said. "Unless you do as I say you are certain to run into all the newspaper reporters in New York. They have the tip that you're on this train and they will be at Grand Central to meet you. Do you want to see them?" What a mess! Here I had traveled two thousand miles to get away from the newspapers and now they were awaiting my arrival. "Golly, no!" I said. "I'm ill; I can't SG6 tllGIYl " "Then you'll get off at 125th Street before the train goes on through to Grand Central Terminal." "I can't do that," I said. "I promised Harry to meet him there." Finally Daisy and the publicity man persuaded me that to get off at 125th Street was the only thing to do. We scrambled out and took a cab to Harry's home on Long Island. Poor chap; he was waiting at the train, all right, but so were scores of newspaper reporters with their cameramen. Harry turned over his home to Daisy and me and within a week, with rest and quiet, I began to improve. Harry and I talked things over. I was fond of him, but something in the back of my mind prompted me not to marry at this time. I wanted to think it over from a distance. I wonder now if the thought of Rex out there on the Coast had anything to do with my decision. Harry and I parted the best of friends — which we are to this day — and I returned to the Pacific Coast to begin a new picture.
