Dan said with a grin, but I sup

Paul appealed to Anne. His
hands were busy with the shaker
and he testured with his head. Il
ask you. Anne. If he isn't a tough
guy 10 get along with?" And Anne
laughed and said tina. she thought
he might be.
Got any swell pictures OF your
self, Anne?" Paul asked. You
know. to go with the story. What's
Grand United got?"
Anne said the publicity depart
ment at Grand United had a few.
And I've had some new one made
at Preston Runcan's."
SWELL How's Mona and Eva?"
"Oh, all right. Eva's rather down
in the mouth. though" Anne look
ed a little troubled.
Collier said that was too bad.
What's the matter, can't she find
anything?" and Anne shook her
head.
You know" said Dan, swinging
one leg across the table corner, II
think Eva ought to change her
name and talked with a Polish &C
cent or something He frowned
No kidding. You know what !
mean? II Eva had come from War
saw or Berlin or some place, in
stead OF New Orleans. some ot
these producers would be jumping
all over themselves to give her q
jos."
"A foreign accent wouldn't heir

Collier reminded him, and Dar
smiled ruefully.

so when she came out or the
ether she was Sonia or Olga some
thing-or-other-I forget the actual
name now. She put on a swell Rus
sian accent. and she got by: COM
pletely fooled one producer and he
gave her plenty or work. But the
producer went broke. and then she
fell in love with some guy and went
back to New York. I guess Holly
woods lost track OF her now"
Eva Harley. Paul sdded. might
try that. But I think ID would be
pretty hard 10 put over now"
They went to dinner then. and
shortly after they returned to the
apartment Johnny Riddle came in
Hi. folks" he greeted. What's
all the shooting for?"

Anne went ove TO stand beside
him. and when he hung up she told
Riddle about her offer.
Johnny said. coolly: How much?'
and when Anne informed him, h,
shook his head.
Not enough" he said positively
