So Henry says that I have opened up a whole new world for him and he
has never been so happy in his life. And it really seems as if everyone
I know has never been so happy in their lives. Because I make Henry let
his father come to the studio every day because, after all, every
studio has to have somebody who seems to be a pest, and in our case it
might just as well be Henry’s father. So I have given orders to all of
the electricians not to drop any lights on him, but to let him have a
good time because, after all, it is the first one he has had. And as
far as Henry’s mother is concerned, she is having her hair bobbed and
her face lifted and getting ready to play Carmen because she saw a girl
called Madam Calve play it when she was on her honeymoon and she has
always really felt that she could do it better. So I do not discouradge
her, but I let her go ahead and enjoy herself. But I am not going to
bother to speak to the electricians about Henry’s mother. And Henry’s
sister has never been so happy since the Battle of Verdun, because she
has six trucks and 15 horses to look after and she says that the motion
picture profession is the nearest thing to war that she has struck
since the Armistice. And even Dorothy is very happy because Dorothy
says that she has had more laughs this month than Eddie Cantor gets in
a year. But when it comes to Mr. Montrose, I really believe that he is
happier than anybody else, because of all of the understanding and
sympathy he seems to get out of me.
And so I am very happy myself because, after all, the greatest thing in
life is to always be making everybody else happy. And so, while
everybody is so happy, I really think it is a good time to finish my
diary because after all, I am to busy going over my senarios with Mr.
Montrose, to keep up any other kind of literary work. And I am so busy
bringing sunshine into the life of Henry that I really think, with
everything else I seem to acomplish, it is all a girl had ought to try
to do. And so I really think that I can say good-bye to my diary
feeling that, after all, everything always turns out for the best.
