Doctor Bunting, Were given over to her work. It kept her busy. There were two babies, and In those days the doctor's practice, twhile never destined to be a large one, was of sufficient proportions to keep the telephone bell constantly Jangling. lit waa-Only Clara Bailey Buntings perennial . enthusiasm tor her work that made it possible for her to carry von her fragile shoulders the triple duties of wife, mother, and elocution teacher. As Clara nsed to say of herself, whenrshe married George'Bunting, ahe had not forfeited her stage career, but had merely postponed It. And George who doted on Clara's recitative talents, agreed that as soon as th<? children /were of a more self-sufficient age, Clara owed It to herself and to her irt to resume her preparation for a career that < had been nipped In Its very bud^T*? h«r young romance and' subsequent marriage to the good-looking physician^/ j And of course wha$ subsequently happened was that, as the years drifted, Clara became more and more in* volved In home ties--the llyes of her children and the problems of her husband. r Teaching elocutioh was about as far as Clara seemed to advance toward her ultimate goal--the theater. And yet the quality of her enthusiasm regained undoused. When she was thirty, a hit heavier, her blond prettiness a bit paler, her never too robust health a bit frailer, the sweet -blue eyes of Clara Bailey Bunting were still fixed resolutely upon the destination of the theater. There was something undeniably dramatic tp Clara Bailey Bunting; with her maturity there came a Lady Macbethlaii quality to her voire a/td manner. .She deepened, so to jspeaic ^ took on a new poise, and worketi tfore indefatlgably than »ever with "her glfls," as she called them. ( The young girls from thi high schools and finishing school W the town came in numbers to study elocution with Clara Bailey Bunting. . It soon became apparent, even to Clara who loved her husband, that he was not destined for success in his work. And yet, because she liked the nobility of the doctor's task, she discouraged her hDBband'8 valiant offers to abandon ^Is medical praetice for a more lucrative mercantile position, and carried on her own shoulders the upkeep 61 the little home. By this time their children, s pair of pretty girl twins, were of an age when they, too, were studying dramatic art with their mother. And how Clara Bailey Bunting worked with these girlsJ Into them she poured all of her diverted energies. The doctor doted on these twins, and spent most of his time accompanying them to this and that entertainment. No local charity event, children's festival, or community occasion, was complete without them. Their mother was kept busy by these entertainments, arranging new readings, new dances, new little dialogue scenes for the children. About this time Clara began to prepare for an enterprise that had long been smoldering in her mind. Together she and the doctor wrote a little one-act skit which was to comprise three characters: Clara and hertwo daughters. The Idea was to carry this skit, when completed, te New York. That was the year that the doctor developed a spot on his Tung. - The next six catastrophic months saw this little family, bewildered by adversity, packing themselves, bag and baggage, for ftie more benign slopes of southern California.^ It was thus out of a volition not her own that Clara Bailey Buhtlng found herself catapulted Into the heart of the new art Industry known as the motion picture. Then and there Clara Bailey Bunting, carrying now the additional load Of an Invalided husband, took up her Cudgels once more. In the front parlor of a tiny California bungalow she sought to gather unto herself a new class of dramatic pupils sufficient to enable her to keep this tiny roof over her family's heads. Alter a fashion she succeeded. Young ladies straggled Into the parlor of Clara Bailey Bunting for Instruction In the gentle art of elocution. The twins grew older, and It was to be Clara's and her invalided husband's Joy and delight to behold them when only In their sweet 'teens appearing as "extras' In the local motion picture studios of Hollywood. By this time Clara herself, forty, paler, leai T, tlreder, was now aspiring to character roles. In between her teaching, running the household, catering td the needs of her husband and sewing for her girls, Clara was making hurried Visits hefrseif' to the studios, registering with the agencies, sendi|]£ her photographs,, made up for with In the world of the en one of those « that can occur of the theater. In a picture that tMttared the predicament of mistaken Identity. It was their opportunity. The picture leered a success and the names of JDrltyn and Edith Bunting became erfptsht, as it were, ones to be reck oneCwlth cinema. From this point, the destinies of the Buntings moved forward. Success comes quickly and dramatically in Hollywood. The Buntings found themselves transported from the tiny bungalow to a eharming little villa on a rose-grown hillside. The Buntings acquired two oars, a roadster for the girls and a sedan for the doctor, who was unable to travel In an open car.- The lean year^ were apparently over and, for the first time in her married life, Clara Pwftey Bunting found herself in a position to concentrate bo her own pefttqSaf ambitions. By this time the gray was trankly out In her tiAIr and her never too robust shoulders were drooping noticeably. But the doctor's confidence in her was undiminished. Clara in his opinion undoubtedly had the makings of a magrtjEwiBt character actress. The girls,. of the sophistication of the studios, and wise with the cruel wisdoms of youth, opposed their mother in her ambitions. The time had come, in their opinion, for her to\slt back and enjoy some of the gpod things of life. They did Hot subject her to the hurt of It, biul between themselves they indulged 'In some hilarity at her obiesslon that she tritt destined for a stage carefer. Poor darling., Best to indulge her and let her talk, hat just fapcj^ mother,' at her age, stll) carrying on the delusion. . "_.k" There catn%A time when even the doctor, who stul doted on the mother ef his children, came a little sadly to admit to himself whftt delusion It was. Sweet dear, hsr life hsu gene In service to hibi ahd to her children, and yet the vitality of her desires would not dle',do«rft. Clara was visualising herself !h) Mother roles by bow, and character Jfoterpretatiooi of old ladles. And as the demands of her household grew lighter, as the girls were able to supply more and more of the creature comforts, Clara increased her visits to the studios. There were still s few pupils, too, the protestationji of her daughter*/'. the contraty notwithstanding, t ,, . ' \ At fifty, Clard Bailey Bunting, mother of two successful screen actresses herself, held on robustly to her ambitions. .. i About that time Evelyn married one of the world's Most prominent screen stars and for the next five years, because grandchildren came quickly, there was an'Additional crimp In the professional dreams of Clara Bailey Bunting. It became necessary to take on a larger house, more servants, more domestic.tnechanisms, and it devolved upon the grandmother to supervise the lives pt .the three babies of the screen stair, Evelyn. When Clara Bailey Bunting was sixty the white snow of gentle old age was upon her head. And when she walked out now with the doctor, they leaned quite mutually one upon the other. And yet to the embarrassment, indeed the acute mortification, of her two marrledj^daughters and even her husband, ^^ra still made her visits to the studios. It became a sdrfe and sensitive point in the family, this attitude of Clara's. Her daughters never referred to It and her husband pretended not to notice the obsession, But through ft all, with her white head high, Clara still referred to her future In dramatic art. When Clara Bailey Bunting was sixty-one this happened: Seated with about seventy-five "extras" In the outer office of a large motion picture concern, a famous director, hurrying through, paused a mpment before her, questioned her brusquely and motioned her into an adjoining office.. Fifteen minutes later, Clara Bailey Bunting was cast for a mother role that was to make her famous the world over. The family of Clara Bailey Bunting is overwhelmed at the overwhelming success that has come to her. "I told you so," they all argue triumphantly to one another.
