There was nc sound or movement from the tiny room, and the only person affected was Tony His jaw dropped in amaze mont as he saw the gag in my mouth and a crafty look spread over his face,

 She took me in her arms again, crushing me in a vice-like grip which would have been torture at any other moment. and which l knew sn, meant as such. But I was too numb for suffering. Without the faintest scrap of reason I had felt that res cue for me lay behind the crack or the coop door. When there had beer no sign, hope and feeling fled tenn porarily, at least.

There would have to be second volume, you know, after you have both had some years of welded life. l expect you will both come to the same thing at last, beautiful old age with grand children around your knees.
 Your wedding, dear Sally, was so quietly unconventional, without even a new gown for the occasion. You slipped away at the noon hour and married Sam. And yet, there was something very solemn, very sacred about that simple ceremony up there in the mayors office, with just myself and the mayors secretary for witness es.

 The biggest registration office in Los Angeles is the Service Bureau, maintained by the Motion Picture Di- rectors' association. It was estab- lished six years ago to relieve the individual director from having to round up at short notice. masses of people for background bits or parts.
 Here approximately 10,o00 persons are listed on ball, with and without experience on stage and screen.
