have ever been connected with a moving picture, for Mr. Calder has scarcely heard of them and when I insisted he must have, he said, with much condescension, "Oh, yes, I remember, Mr. Griffith did a Chinese picture; it was rather good but too sentimental." And he refused to let me take a picture of the studio for he "could not afford to lend his work and his studio to problematical publicity of which he had not the slightest proof."
I felt sorry Mr. Calder had come to reside in our movie nursery at 11 East Fourteenth Street, for we were such good fellows, happy and interested in our work, cordial and pleasant to one another.
The change made me sad!
