At the Studio • "When I work at the studio' I have to be there by 9 o'clock. When I am not making a picture, I am upstairs in my little studyroom doing my school lessons at 9 o'clock. When I am at the studio I study between my scenes in my little blue-and-white dressing room. Between pictures my teacher, whose name is Miss Frances Klarit, comes to my house. "When T work at the studio there is more movie-making after lunch. At -4 o'clock in the afternoon, mummy and I leave for home. When I am not working at all. I romp with my dogs for a while after lunch, and then I study my French or.my dancing. In the late afternoons I go out in the yard and play with some of my friends who live near my house. .."We have fun at dinner at my house. I have dinner with mummy arid daddy and.my brother, Sonny. My other brother. Jack, is at Stanford University, but when he is at home, it's even more fun. We talk all the time, and laugh in between times.

Just, then mother comes into the, room. • Mummy goes over- .to close the window and-turn *o'n~-the heater- .She finds them all closed and -turned! She begins to look very suspicious. She comes over to my bed and. says, 'My! I-'have such "a. nice little girl. If she were awake I'd give her a kiss.' That's the signal for me to laugh and sit up and" shout, "I'm amake, mummy!" "Then, after our game is over, I rush out' of bed and run to' the bathroom to brush my teeth. Then there are all the dolls to be waked tip* I wake them the way mummy

'.'After dinner I play with daddy or'my brothers. Just-before bedtime, "my daddy reads'to me. He takes ; me on his lap and reads a story to me out of some exciting book, like the books by Mr Kipling or Mr Stevenson, or a book, like 'Heidi.' 'Heidi' is going'.,to..'-be my next picture, too. I like that because I like the story. "Then, ■ -.when I ■ get into bed, mummy comes in and teaches me my lines for the next day's work at the studio. Sometimes at 20 minutes after eight, but never later than., half-past eight, I snuggle down and go right to sleep—bingbahg, like that!"
