room has its outside door so that people can come and go as they choose without disturbing anyone else, or having to wander through half a house first. There are fifteen rooms and eighteen closets in the house; five rooms for servants over th'i garages ; a completely, equipped carpenter shop for Mr. Gudger, and a completely equipped beauty shop for Miss Rambeau. The linen room is every woman's dream — as big as a California bedroom, with shelves reaching to the ceiling and plenty of space for every item.
Rancho Manzanita doesn't look as large as it is from the mountain road below. The live oaks scattered on the hillside hide parts of it. Geraniums in every shade splotch the drive with color, and daisies, yellow and white, crowd each other in wide beds.
"All the wood used in the house is Philippine mahogany. The fireplace in the living room holds four foot logs and the stone used in it came from a quarry not far from here," my hostess informed me. "In summer, we spend a great deal of time down by the pool in the playhouse, which is equipped with refrigerator and stove. Dinner is served under a giant live oak tree there. But in fall and winter, the pleasantest place in the house is the roofed and glassedin porch. Guests seem to like it as much as we do." This room is furnished in bamboo and chintz. The floor is red tile.
Furniture and possessions accumulated for years, some used in homes in New York and Florida, some stored so long that they had been almost forgotten, combine with new pieces in unexpected luxury in the main rooms of the house. In the living roomlibrary, there is a wide Italian divan of the 15th century, an ancient refectory table with a priceless figure in bronze, a lacquered Chinese cabinet containing jade, crystal, and semi-precious stones and metals in various graceful forms, books in profusion, and places for reading them, deep with cushions and cleverly lighted. The dining room furniture is Chippendale, with wine-red striped satin seats and a specially designed wallpaper of trees and flowers. The breakfast room is done in Chinese style, with red lacquered table and chairs and little red lanterns.
"But the kitchen is the heart of the house," confided Marjorie. "As you see, we have two electric stoves and a refrigerator large enough to stock enough food for a

week. There's never enough oven space in a single stove, if you entertain big parties, as we like to do. And I insisted on plenty of tiled sink and closets everywhere." There's a butler's pantry, with every known piece of electrical equipment, as large as an average kitchen.
There's a guest room wing, with dressing rooms and baths and a hallway of its own. Opposite the living room, another corridor makes a hallway to the family suites. Miss Rambeau's young sister has her bedroom, dressing room, and bath, Mr. Gudger has his den, and Miss Rambeau has her own sitting room, with its attendant screened porch, beyond which is the master bedroom.
A special feature of this part of the house is-the chandeliers of crystal pendants, and the lamps ornamented in fragile Dresden roses. Most of the bathrooms are of her design, too, in pastels delicately combined. Her sitting room is French with a graceful mantel, real fireplace, exquisite furniture, and a mirror-backed cabinet set into the wall to hold her collection of figurines.
"I've collected these for 27 years," she confessed. "The first item was bought at the Leipzig Fair, the ballet came from France, others from Italy, Holland, and Switzerland. The fan is painted with the Dance of Herod and is supposed to be over a thousand years old."
Most men have an idea that if they really tried they would make marvelous cooks. Marjorie's husband is no stranger to this theory, which is one reason they built a barbecue pit on the terrace outside the playhouse. Here — probably once — the head of the house broiled steaks and roasted potatoes. But no wife who would be happy says : "Why don't you get dinner tonight, darling ?" when the suggestion doesn't come from him. "He thinks he likes to cook, bless him," beamed Marjorie, "but the cook has her own little stove inside."
The pool lies above the playhouse, where the sun shines full upon it and no leaves can drift into the water. Dressing rooms for men and women are part of the playhouse, each with its own shower. There is a bar, picnic tables and benches, card tables, games, a big fireplace, and much comfortable furniture in the playhouse, which is also where the souvenirs of my hostess' long stage and screen career are placed. There's a huge painting of her long-time Broadway run, "Eyes of Youth," showing her in four characterizations. There are portraits of most of the stage and screen greats, and stills from her pictures from the earliest to the current one — "Three Sons o' Guns."
