154 When the Movies were Young would travel by motor to location while the others would trolley. As Los Angeles had, even then, the most wonderful system of trolleys in the world, there were few places, no matter how remote, that could not be reached by electric car. Sunday came to be a big day for the automobile, for on that day we scouted for the week's locations — that is, after David had made out his weekly expenses, his Sunday morning job. Here is a sample, recorded in almost illegible pen-andink longhand: Luncheon (30 actors) $ 7.50 Carfare (30 actors, location both ways) 15.00 Automobile (so many hours $4. per) 100.00 Locations (gratuities for using people's places) . . 20.00 Incidentals 17.00 Extras (not actors, not incidentals either) 11.00 Those sufficiently interested may add.
