They have their lives regulated by intelligent and faithful governesses from England, Switzerland, Prance or other foreign countries where the disciplining of children is understood. Their exterior and social life, however, is heavy with elaborations. Fortunes are spent on nonsense to For long time the mode for child stars held full sway. The compra-chicos of the industry, comprising both the parents and the purveyors of amusement, together, robbed these child stars of all the birthright of a child, his naturalness, his health and his play. Normal living, with sleep and food at normal hours, amusements and duties devoid of excitement and spice as the food they ate these were sacrificed, and still are, to the varying hours of work contingent on all picture productions.

Cold meals snatched at odd hours, adult foods, sweets given by well meaning folk, excitement, flattery these all have their turn in wrecking the frail health and nervous systems of the child stars.

The talkies are to blame, they say, for now that the animated paper dolls of the screen have been given tongue, the road show Is doomed and actors' pockets are lined with fewer and fewer pieces of silver and gold.

Also on the Broadway horizon hangs the threat of shrinkage in the number of New York productions, and thus the Angers of Thespians come still more closely in touch with mere sateen when thrust into the pockets aforesaid.

Women are never admitted to the club it never had a ladies' day and five years ago voted in solemn conclave cot to invite women movie stars to its Gotham Gambol and so all the roles in these entertainments were filled by men, who seem to have been adept in feminine roles. Apropos of the club's barriers, it may be mentioned that they are also raised against professional critics -and booking agents. Although the tours have been abandoned, the yearly Gambol is still given in New York, and the receipts, with the income from the club dormitories, the restaurant and dues, have made the club self-supporting.

Five years ago it was mortgage free. The fact that since that time two mortgages have been given show the present day actor to be in a bad way often unable to pay his dues or his house bills. Not every one knows that the Government named a boat after the Lambs. It is a Shipping Board freighter and has steamed 200,000 miles since 1919. The honor was in recognition of the money raised or subscribed by Lambs in the Liberty bond campaigns.

The club died 10 years later, but in the meantime Harry Montague, one of its Lambkins who came over to play in America, gave its name and terminology lo an Informal supper club of New York actors, which added a collie to its officers. Years later the surviving members of the London Lambs sent over to the New York offspring, the crook, bell and other ritualistic paraphernalia of the parentfold.

The club, it appears, wandered bout "on very wabbly legs" for a time, until it rented its first home about 1880 at 34 W. 27th St. The Lambs have always followed the theatrical centers in their habitations, and so when they bought their first clubhouse in 1897, it was at 70 W. 36th St, then in the heart of the Rialto. Eight years later, following the theaters the Lambs moved again, this time to their present clubhouse, erected at 130 W.
