Summary
Explaining that she has been busy, having gone to Baden Baden after (John Colton and Carlton Miles's) "9 Pine St." ended its run, and starting work on a film directed by Arthur Hopkins (i.e. "His Double Life") immediately thereafter; thanking him for his "beautiful tribute to Mary" (probably a reference to Mary Pickford) and mentioning his plans for a book on the subject of Mark Twain; writing that she is "searching for a good play" as she is more interested in the theatre than the cinema at the moment; going on to say that the film she has just completed with Arthur Hopkins "While not in any sense an important picture" seems to her to be "rather charming and entertaining".
