So after that came my wedding and all of the Society people in New York
and Philadelphia came to my wedding and they were all so sweet to me,
because practically every one of them has written a senario. And
everybody says my wedding was very, very beautiful. I mean even Dorothy
said it was very beautiful, only Dorothy said she had to concentrate
her mind on the massacre of the Armenians to keep herself from laughing
right out loud in everybody’s face. But that only shows that not even
Matrimony is sacred to a girl like Dorothy. And after the wedding was
over, I overheard Dorothy talking to Mr. Montrose and she was telling
Mr. Montrose that she thought that I would be great in the movies if he
would write me a part that only had three expressions, Joy, Sorrow, and
Indigestion. So I do not really believe that Dorothy is such a true
friend after all.
So Henry and I did not go on any honeymoon because I told Henry that it
really would be selfish for us to go off alone together, when all of
our activities seemed to need us so much. Because, after all, I have to
spend quite a lot of time with Mr. Montrose going over the senario
together because, Mr. Montrose says I am full of nothing so much as
ideas.
So, in order to give Henry something to do while Mr. Montrose and I are
working on the senario I got Henry to organize a Welfare League among
all of the extra girls and get them to tell him all of their problems
so he can give them all of his spiritual aid. And it has really been a
very, very great success, because there is not much work going on at
the other studios at present so all of the extra girls have nothing
better to do and they all know that Henry will not give them a job at
our studio unless they belong. So the worse they tell Henry they have
been before they met him, the better he likes it and Dorothy says that
she was at the studio yesterday and she says that if the senarios those
extra girls have written around themselves to tell Henry could only be
screened and gotten past the sensors, the movies would move right up
out of their infancy.
