and save her wayward brother
from Imprisonment
The madly infatuated father
was to propose marriage, and
Nelly was to accept him, monen-
tariIy carried off her feet by the
sincerity of his passion as much
as by the glamour of his wealth
and social position.
While this was going on, Dick,
the son, passing in the street, was
to catch a glimpse of Nel1y's sha-
dow on the window shade end and
wild with Jealousy, demand adj
mittance. The father was to con-
duct Nelly to the private hallway,
understanding that she was to
slip away by the back door.
Instead of doing so, Nelly was
to linger and overhear the quarrel
between father and son, in the
course Of which it was to trans
pire that the former had once Of
fered to wager the latter that he
could make the girl his mistress
within a given period of time.
Whereupon, in reyulsion OF feel
ing, Nelly was to confront the
two and, while confessing she had
planned deliberately to marry
either one or the other OF them
for his money. assert herself to
be too good to be the wife OF
either.
Nolan proceeded now to act out
in his own person the business
which he conceived to be in char
acter for girl of Nelly's quality

defensiDle And Lucinda looked
on with earnest attention and
puckered brows, eager to catch
every hint that would help&her be-
come better actress Her dis
trust of Nolan extended only to his
abilities as a constructice builder
of storytelling pictures and a
Judge of pictorial values For the
very considerable amount of raw
power as a pantomine which he
indu bitably possessed, she had
much respect.
This enthusiasm was running
away with him now, he was build
ing the solo scene which Lucin-
da was to play on lines of brand
emotional melodrama widely in
consistent with the situation. For
getting that. while the conversa-
ton assumed to be going on be-
yond the door was one well calcu-
lated to annoy and disgust her
whom it concerned, its revelations
were after all hardly of a charac-
ter to break her heart. Nolan
was, as Nelly, ranting and raV1ng
in the angle, like one gone half
mad with shock and grief. Yet
such was the fire he infused into
the performance that for the time
being he truly succeeded in pre-
verting Lucinda's grasp of the
scene. Having exhausted his re-
pertoire of emotional artifice, he
stepped out of the camera lines,
consulting Lucinda with a glance
and the stereotpyed inquiry, See
what I want, dear?" she nodded
without thinking-"You make it
most real I'll do my best"-and
stepped into character and the set
as the lights blaZed on, the CAM
eras began to tick, and Nolan seiz-
ed his baton of authority, the
megaphone which he invariably
used while directing. though he
had as much need of it now as the
cameras had of telescope lenses.
Now, dear" he blared through

Harry Lontaine got home at a
late hour for one who had it in
mind to battle, dress and put in APP

several miles away.
Before the door which gave up
on the private quarters of the
house, however, he hung for
to proceed.
Eventually he pushed the door
open.
Immediately he saw Fanny.

AS if hypnotized by SO much

steadfastly TO gaze upon her re-

Lontaine paused for answer, but
Fanny was dumb. He essayed an
other short, confused laugh. You

of the damnedest thing to say
Yes: don't II"
He recognized one of her null
