can just with your eyes, tEen slowly
break into a broad smile"
The nice-looking girl from the
east laughed, Historically. Howell
blinked and smiled, almost blinded
by the intense glare. Never after
wards in any movie studio was he
to face lights of such power as he
confronted that day.
"AIl right" said the director.
That's all for today. Thank you
very much"
He disappeared before Howell had
chance to, ask any of the ques-
lions he had been saving for him.
But as they filed out, feeling self
conscious and ridiculous, the girl at
the desk handed each of them a
little card.
HowelPs said, "Mr. Sheffield, your
appointment with the x Y z studio
is for Jan. 7, 1928, at 2 o'clock"
The very next afternoon. He
wouldn't have long to wait. He re-
turned to his hotel, dined in near
by cafeteria and went early to bed,
congratulating himself on having
accomplished so much more than he
had expected.
NEXT day he had lunch at Pau
~ Iais' and strolled for an hour
on a boulevard which he felt could
never grow tiresome. He saw actors
and actresses in costume, with bright
superior airs of disdain for hungry
unlookers.
A picture was being taken in front
of the Guaranty building and the
crowd became so thick that a po-
liceman had to keep them back. He
saw Peter, the Hermit, Strolling,
barefoot, with his two dogs. Many
times afterward he was to see these
same sights.
He came to know the boulevard
characters as we'll as he did those
on Main street back home. But
never were they touched with quite
so much romance as on that first
day. The hair on Peters bare head
glistened like saints. Not white
but silver. -.
At % minutes Of 2 he was back
at the Studio" At o'clock he
was being ushered down corridor
into a little room, where he was in
troduced to Mr.. Marsh, one OF our
assistant directors"
Howell was disappointed.

to be with Mr.. Bince," he said.
"Mr. Rince is very busy man,
Mr.. Sheffield" the swarthy proved
gentleman confronting him, replied.
I'm Mr.. Bince's yes man, however,
and he has asked me to interview
you. Mr.. Bince is much interested
in your screen test" e
Howell took the seat indicated and
waited with a wildly beating heart.
You understand that it is abSo-
lutely necessary for us to know all
about prospective candidates for this
school," the other continued. And,
of course, you realize that this is a
school,"

Next morning at breakfast he met
her bantering smile with a curt,
little nod. He told himself he was
in search of romance via the movies,
not women.
And he didn't care what she
thought of him because he never
would see her again. Which shows
how little Howell realized the poten-

money in a hotel, and he told him

Time enough as he succeeded to
add frills and luxuries. He would
begin humbly.
Not being familiar with the
streets it was difficult to tell any
thing about the listed rooms. He
didn't even know which addresses
we're in Hollywood.
But in folding up the paper his
eye was caught by an advertisement
of different sort. which he read
over. thoughtfully, and with a wave
of gratitude. clipped out and put
into his pocket.

Cemetery Hill Will Be
Graveled, According
Plans of City Officials

The board of aldermen decided as one
of their first progressive steps since
their assumption Of office at the New
Year, to complete arrangements and
gravel the long approach to the local
cemetery, as we'll as the areas surround
ing the entrances to the grounds, ac-
cording to c. A. Glover, city clerk.
This matter has long been under con-
sideration and has been urged by the
citizens for quite few months, and the
first step towards fulfillment was made
the past year under the supervision Of
w. A. Rathell, street superintendent,
who directed all grading and leveling
of this road in order that the steep
hill and winding curves of the road are
dispensed with and the road bed is now
in fine shape for graveling.
Owing to the risks involved in wet
weather of funeral corteges traversing
this road and ascent, the coming i'm
provement will be welcomed by the city
as whole and work will be stated as
soon as the final details of the work are
completed.

The many friends of Senator Sam E.

learn with regret of his painful accident
suffere, when he slipped and fell in the
bath room of his home, resulting in an
injury to his back and hip, that has
caused him to remain in bed under care
of a physician.
The suffering was so intense at the
time of the fall, that he could not be
moved from the bath room, and first
aid and comforts had to be resorted
to under the circumstances where it
transpired, and much anxiety was felt
for his condition by those attending him
However later reports form his bed
side are encouraging, altho he is still
suffering from the effects of the fall.
His mother, Mrs. Mamie E. Sample,

to Jackson for a complete examination
to ascertain if any permanent injur,
would result and that remedial measure.
