the englni-. of suffering.
Once when Mem wa (hocked at a
flippancy of Tom Holby'a concerning
hi art, he rebuqed her earnestly:
"You're not really well acquainted
with your art unlena you can joke
about it. What' funnier than th.
Idea that being funny I not a e
riou aa being eolemnchuly? There
wa never a Oner actor than Nat
Goodwin, and I heard him ay once,
apeakiug of hi Sh.vlock: 'I wa great
In the last act. I knew I wa great
hecauae th. audlpnc. wa weeping
and I wa guying it, and when you
can guy a serious scene you've got to
be great.' "
Mem began tb understand aUo, but
slowly, that making fun of one' se
rious emotions Is a form of modesty, J
a covering of nakedness, a shy re
treat behind a mask of smiles.
She began to be able to talk flip
pantly of her art and to talk of It in
trade terms.
One day. when she wa posing for a
big closeup of herself asleep, the di
rector asked her to try to squeeze a
tear or two through her great
clenched eyelids. Bhe tartled even
him by saying, with an elfin earnest
nes: "What kind do you want? One
ureal blsr slow teardrop or a lot o'-
little shiny ones?"
Me was shocked, but he hid his
own scnae of sacrilege in a careless:
"Give me one large tear about five
eighths of an inch In diameter."
"All right," she said.
And she did. It oozed through her
long lashes and slipped reluctantly
down her cheeck Into her hair. And,
knowing what he knew of Its control,
he felt his own eye wet. and the
jaded camera man whlaepred, awe
somely, "Great!"
In another scene, where more tears
were required of her, he noted that
while she waited for the camera set
up she had her hands gabled at her
lips and she seemed to be whimpering
to hernelf.
Curious, he asked, "What ar. you
up to now?"

One afternoon ihe chief financial
power in Tom tiolby' company saw
Mem pacing up and down by herwdf
at a dwanre (ruin th. aet, II
watched her and noted that she
leaned against a ranvaa wall and hid
her head in her arm. Her almiildcr
quivered and shook with forlorn woe.
Ills heart wa touched and h could
not resist an Impulse to go to her and
proffer liU sympathy In her evident
grief. I la tou:liml her on the arm
and asked, with an almost mothrlng
nolicliuda;
"You poor child! What the mat
ter?" Mi whirled on him In surprise and
stared throiiKh a shower of tears.
Then a amlln broke from her blub
bering lips and she giggled:
"Oh, I'm Just gutting rmdy for a
big crying scene."
II full back as if he had touched
a serpent. He wa disgusted with
himself for making such a fool of him
self and wasting his precious pity on
a littl trickster.
The ctllllliX of Mem's nhsmelenBlleM
waa reached one day when Itohina
Teal an.l the great Miriam Yore vis
ited the studio anil stopped for lunch
in th commissary. Mem ws put on
her mettle by fh granduxe com
dencenslon of Miss Yoro and by the
suspicious tetilntisy of Iloblua Teele.
The matter of tears for sain came
up and Mis Ynr spoke of how she
got Iters.
"I nnd that it I use the tone of
voice intentionally which 1 use unin
tentionally when I am really crying,
the teurs come. It may to Just
muscle memory or It may be that I
grow very sorry for myself."
Itohina did not know how she got
hers.
"M.irg iret Anglln snld she could erf
at will over a fried egg or anything.
Ho can I. I Just limiKln the scene
and say to myself, 'Cry!' and I cry
till the director says, 'Cut!' "
Neither of the famous women
thought to ask the rising Miss rited
dun how sliu manipulated her
lachrymal art, Tom llolhy, feeling
that she was slighted, brought her In
to It by asking her her system,
"1'rayer and brute strength," snld
M-m.
llohlna wa In an assertive mood,
and, a one violinist might challenge
another to a concerto or an orator
propose n deliate to another, sh.
culled for a duel of team. Kh
thought she could send Ml" Yore
back to the grand opera she had
come from.
"bet's have a crying contest," sh.
said.
"I shnutd have to hsv music," said
Mim Yore.
"Come over on my set and we'll
give you your favorite tune," snld
llolhy. Me dragged Itememher Hted
don along, thoiiKh the two veteran
did not take her Into account.
llolhy explained to the director that
they weni to have a field day of emo
tion, and he consented to defer the
scene h v lis about to shoot.
Miss Ynr. wanted th. them, of th
"Uebcstod" played over and over.
The wheijv little portable organ
made a nl mess of Wagner' braid
ed harmonies, hut the violinist caught
the cry of the melody.
Hohuia could cry best for "Just a.
Bong at Twilight." but she grara
fully ylelled th choice' of music to
Miss Yor,
Mem had never beard an opera,
grand or comlrt. Hut the strangely
climbing Miguleh of the tune caught
her up on Its pinions, and lifted her
Into that ether where the souls of
Imaginative artist tly In all dis-gui-es
and asutn. all personalities.
Th. reel of th ooinpuny and the
crew stood aloof nnd watched In

and nobbed aloud. Mem Jealously de
cided thst she wss cheating and
rather looked down on her shoulder
work. It hs pumpy.
Khe stared at Miriam Tore, an sm
bulant slalue of Inrolo tmstures, lin
ing her linnd to heaven, carrying
them clHspsril to her fulsome bosom,
and Indulging In the despair of a
Mde or a Cornwall princess whose
draperies must also weep about her
beautifully.
In Mem's eyes Mis Tor. wa a

Neither of them seemed quite humiin.
Orlef to Mem wss a homely, un'ovely,
tearing, disordering thing. To cry
gracefully whs not to cry at nil.
