The kitchen was truly a housewife's dream of perfection. "A little out of order," untruthfully explained my hostess. You see, we had six guests for dinner last night, and my maid left, so I had to get every bit of it myself." "What did you serve?" I asked, really interested and thinking how rarely one met a woman combining good sense and beauty. "Oh, a real turkey dinner and everything that goes with it," she pridefully answered. "Wallace makes such a wonderful host." "We certainly have had a lot of fun get' ting some of our meals." And she sighed as she closed the kitchen door. "I rather dread the new maid who is coming tomorrow." My respect was growing. "Can Mr. Beery cook?" I asked. . "Why, Wallie can do anything," she laughed. "Cooking, gardening, carpentering, hunting or acting are all easy for him. I think he is the most wonderful man!" said the unprejudiced Areta Beery. And her beauty is genuine. Not a particle of make-up did she have, or need, at that unexpected morning interview. Tall, graceful, she moves with boneless, unconscious grace. Her blond hair is undecidedly bobbed and her eyes and lips are synchronously ready to pay the smile demandnote of her voice. "I'm wearing my old clothes around the house; they are so comfortable," was her only remark about her pleasing and unpremeditated costume, which aptly illustrated her -good taste and unassuming simplicity. "Come on upstairs," called out the deep voice of Wallace Beery, who was probably impatient to get back to his painting. And up we went, by comfortable winding stairs, leading from the living-room. "This is my room, which I am fixing up for a study." And he pointed to the evidence. A large desk, broken out with literary disorder, a small typewriter and many books waited for a permanent home. "My clothes-closet," again he explained, using the singular possessive pronoun for the second and last time. Necessarily large as a room it was, with dozens of varied and •suitable suits hanging in readiness for reel or real-life settings. Two guns, however, are missing from this historical wardrobe. It seems that while the Beerys were back east recently, their house was entered and robbed. When they received the news, Mrs. Beery hastened back, as Wallace could not leave his .screen work. She found, on arrival, that in spite of orders both chauffeur and maid had left the house one evening and had returned to find that the house had been burgled. After a careful checking, Mrs. Beery found that nothing was missing except the two afore-mentioned guns. And when Friend Husband found he could not return as soon as he had expected, he sent pronto with for Friend Wife to come back and stay with him in lonesome old New York. That is why Mrs. Beery had two trips to New York in as many months. No wonder they were glad to get back from the cramped quarters of New York, I soliloquized, as we passed through this California bathroom. Large as an ordinary New York hotel room is this tiled bath which connects with the only other room on this floor. This our gide described as, "The Wife's room." "Now I'll take you to see my clothescloset," said the bride as though it was her inning. Mirrors, hats and shoe compartments and size combined to make it the winner in this clothes-closet contest. Her room, also, was a choice location. Tastefully and simply furnished with enameled suite and one wide, comfortable bed. Blue-gold walls were broken by many windows which made it possible to keep the panorama view as an intimate friend. But seemingly the viewfest was not finished. "Wait until you get up to OUR camp Porch* then you'll get a real view," said Wallace, punctuating his remark with another flight of .steps upward. And I hoped my adjectives would last. Covered by a roof awning, three sides glass-protected, this porch was really a bit of outdoors transplanted to a convenient location, its size being sufficient to house the army of the republic. "So I'm planning to fix this up just like a real camp, and I've built my fireplace in," said Wallace pointing to the huge open hearth at one end. "Then Reta and I won't have to take such long trips when we go camping." For be it known that Wallace Beery likes nothing better than hunting and camping-trips. But distance often makes it impossible to take the time. Talking of art must have reminded me. If the interview was to be proper I must ask^ her the usual leading question. "Will you go back into pictures?" I asked, confidingly. "Oh, Wallie don't want me to," she answered as though that settled the question. Of course I've had some attractive offers but ■" And we are going to have plenty of camping cots, so we can have OUR friends here at any time," one of them said. I don't remember which one. At any rate I left the happy home at " mosphere feeling that the one word in the 1,1 world capable of permanently binding two hearts was the plural possessive pronoun — '§ OUR. A real foundation word on which to base 88 a happy future. And I hope that some day, in addition to speaking of OUR view, OUR friends and OUR home, this couple may happily say: '''' "And OUR family." Which will surely complete his "OUR" for Wallace Beery. Books for Fans — continued fi for^ dressing him in a velour. "This is what the public cannot seem to realize: a situation that can be put across in a novel often cannot be put over on the screen. An author has words — thousands of words — with which he can get over his effects. Motion pictures are limited to ac tion. An author has hundreds of pages in each of which he can express many ideas. It takes a fast reader five or six hours to read a novel four hundred pages long. Two rom page 8 hours is usually the length of a motion picture. "Inspiration," said Ray, "comes from a thousand different sources. The first flush of inspiration comes when the actor reads the original story or book with an eye to its motion picture possibilities. Next he receives help from the script and then from the director, from the sets and the general atmosphere or tone of the production itself."
