We saw each other only at meal times and again between the hours of six (we dined very early) and eight-thirty when a bell rang that sent us hurrying to our cottages. In those two precious hours we, huddled together around the fire, learned to know each other well. Gilbert was the strangest one in the group. Moody, temperamental, nervous, intense. He used to stride out of the room at any mention of " the bugs. " He used to hide when the doctor gave his weekly talk to the ambulatory patients. A ND there was a reason for this. Gilbert -''didn't have the infection. He had been run over by an automobile when he was eleven years old and it had left him with a bad heart and a deflated lung. He was at Barlow's Sanatorium for rest. But there was no rest for Gilbert. Too I-atin, too profligate, too mad. We all clung together in our hours of stress. We all kidded ourselves that we were better than we were. We all tried to readjust our lives to the months that had been slashed out of our experience by a doctor's word. All of us but Gilbert. He chafed at the confinement. He fumed at the bells that rang, one for rising, one for each meal, one for inyour-cottages and one for lights out. He paced the floor, gloomy, apart. But his very wildness and freedom was his charm. One of the patients had been in vaude\'ille. He used to play the piano for us. We were not, of course, allowed to dance. But Gilbert would snatch some girl in his arms and dance away with her. What if the doctors did see him? What could they do? Tell him to leave? Very well. HcjWanted to be rid of the place anyhow. He was sick of it. Upon one subject, however, he always waxed eloquent. The pictures! He told us that he had played a very small bit with Rudolph Valentino in "Blood and Sand" and a few days later the exchange sent the picture out for us to see. (Various companies showed us a movie once a week.) We waited breathlessly. "Where are you, Louis?" (His name was Louis Alonzo, not Gilbert Roland then.) "Where? " A scene showed Valentino entering the bull ring. A boy came up to him, a dark boy with black hair. It was just a flash. "There I am," said Gilbert. .And I didn't know until five years later that he had invented this out of whole cloth and by a strange coincidence the bit player looked like him! His desire to be an actor was that strong! Yet when I wrote a little play, a travesty on sanatorium life, and had the patients act in it Gilbert refused a role. I think he was secretly sorry later, for he used to come to Williams Hall and look in longingly on all the rehearsals. WE all had different ambitions for that halcyon day "when I get out." Gilbert's hopes never wa\-ered. "When I get out," he would say, "I'm going to be a picture actor. I'm going to those studios and just stay there until I get a chance. I'm going to do it, that's all." I used to smile wisely, for I had interviewed stars for one of the fan magazines. After all, thought I, he was just another good looking Mexican lad. What chance had he? I didn't know the sort of will he had.
