"People speak now of Pauline's great personal beauty. Of course, she was always lovely, but there never was a child wno had more care. I cared for her hair, her breath with beefsteak and onions or corn skin, her teeth, her feet and hands, her eyes, beef and cabbage, was the fattest baby in wilh every attention in the world. I wasn't captivity, had eight chins and almost died a mother who acted just for that day. I of overeating the first year of her life? An saw the whole future. I wanted Pauline to other illusion all shot to pieces. be grounded with the right physical founda "Oh my, Lilian was such a fat baby!" tion and she was.

"You could hardly tell where her arms and legs joined on. I'd never even held a little baby before, and I was so afraid that she wouldn't get enough to eat that I used to •'She was never a student, but always a leader in school. She was very young when her teachers began to speak to me about her voice. They predicted marvellous things feed her every half hour or so. Naturally, of it and I did everything to give her the I nearly killed the poor little thing. very best musical education. It is still, in "I never wanted them to go on the stage, spite of her success in her chosen work, a .\s children, it was my only salvation. I little regret in my life that she didn't go on was left a widow when they were just babies with her voice instead." (Myself, I say, and the only thing to which I could turn when you can look like that why bother to lor a living was the stage. I had played make a noise?) small parts in a stock company and when I was offered a position in a company which could include both children in the cast, I was overjoyed, for of course I had dreaded any thought of separation from my babies. "But I took them off the stage as much as I could and left them with my sister so that they might go to school. I violently opposed their returning in the pictures, for the simple reason that I did not believe it was their vocation. They didn't seem to me to have any exceptional talent along those lines and I dreaded the disappointment of failure. I rather dreamed of a literary career for Lillian. "As a matter of fact, Dorothy showed some dramatic talent as a. child and Lillian was particularly good at reciting. She was always chosen to do that sort of thing in school. "They were adorable kiddies, — fat and yellow haired, with such round faces and such big, round blue eyes." And Mrs. Gish heaved a little sigh as 0-0-Oh, girls, prepare yourselves for an awful shock. Charlie Ray's folks wanted him to be a druggist ! Not but what he would have been a success as a druggist. Probably he would have had the most popular drugstore in the state. The bitterest dose would have tasted sweet from that hand and of course behind a soda counter he would have been nothing less than irresistible. But think of the waste — like using a Ming vase for an ash tray. And when he just wouldn't be a druggist • — when, as it were, he cast pills and pellets from him forever, they sent him to business college. There weren't any actors in the Ray family, and there weren't going to be any, if Father Ray could help it. "But I guess it was just born in him,"' remarked Mrs. Ray, fondly. "Why, he wasn't but twelve years old when he built a real opera house in our back yard in Peoria, with a curtain that went up and down, and he wrote the plays and played though the two famous screen stars of today all the parts and fixed the settings and every couldn't quite make up for the loss of the Lillian and Dorothy of yesterday. Now here's the fatal one on Pauline Frederick. She was not only born and brought up thing. (.\t that, I daresay Peoria has seen worse.) Everybody in town came to see that opera house." Charlie Ray's mother is exactly my delinition of a nice woman. She is the same. in Boston, but the process was superintended normal, conservative type, clean minded and by a Family Council of aunts, cousins, big hearted — the kind of woman that has grandmammas, etc., who were so proper, and made the American home what it should be. prim, and correct that they put pantalettes "Charlie was a regular boy," she went on, on the angels in her illustrated copy of the "I don't say I didn't have my troubles with Bible and dressed Eve up in such glory that him. Sometimes it scjmd to me he was just the signiiicance of the fig!eaf was lost upon her for years. But there were certainly no pantalettes on Pauline when she delighted and fascinated New York as Pothiphar's careless wife in "Joseph and His Brethren," a number of years later. In fact, I have never seen art and nature more closely allied. Of course she had Scriptural authority for her version, but Boston doesn't always hold with a literal translation. It seems impossible that there were ever only four pounds of so vital a person as Miss Frederick. But her own mother assures me that on her birthday morning Pauline tipped the scales at exactly that amount. "She was a pretty baby right from the start," said stately Mrs. Frederick. It is easy to connect Boston with Mrs. Frederick, possessed of mischief, but he was never mean, nor sneaking, nor real right down bad in his life. He thought the stage was the greatest thing in the world. Don't know where he got the blood, but he had it. He used to cry for me to sit up half the night, reading Shakespeare to him. "As a matter of fact, he made his actual stage debut at the age of eight in a circus. We'd been watching for the circus and I had promised to take Charles of course. When we got inside the smaller tent where the animals were, he asked me if he couldn't walk over to see the ponies, and I let him. Then, when I looked for him, he'd disappeared. I was beginning to get panicky, when the first act came on and still no Charlie.
