the regular juvenile school. AS a
matter of fact they were all picked
up around Los Angeles. To get his
effects, Mr.. Holubar had to use much
diplomacy as the children Immediate

acted"
Mr.. Holubar wanted a scene In
which a little girl was crying hys-

She asserted she could cry better
than the other and got real peeved"

second child to display her wares

very good and the determined little
miss could see the half-dollar fading
