Everyday ebay sends me on average a dozen photos of her, most stills from her pictures, & there are few I haven't seen several score times. Today one was sent I've never seen before--significant because it shows her with the most influential person in her early life, her Columbian-born grandmother, who taught her to speak Spanish & sing old Spanish songs, & upon whose California "ranchette" she learned to ride & indulged in other outdoorsy pursuits. The look of adoration on Bebe's face reveals better than words what "Little Mother," as Bebe called her, meant in her life.

Have seen that photo before (Ebay?), but found it more congenial to disbelieve it. Presume, however, he looked rather different in 1921.
