might have found great favor
among women screen devotees.
He and Anne we're sitting to-
gether on little bench, and Maury
was talking animatedly and ges-
turing fluently with his hands.
Rorimer caught Anne's eye once.
and she smiled, but Maris Farrells
low voice beside him brought him
back to her.
The Mexican finished Ramona"
and bowed and made smiling exit,
and presently there was the sound of
an orchestra from the ballroom,
and Mrs. Collins paused for mo-
ment to tell Maris and Dan that
there was dancing for those who felt
ambitious enough for it.
Maris got up at once and took
Rorimers arm, but on the way in
side she said, There's a phono-
graph there. II we get bored up
stairs we can come down and dance
in the patio"
Anne Winter and Maury were still

Anne said. I'VE seem to be the
only ones left out here. DorSt you
think we'd better go in?"
I'm perfectly satisfied out here"
Maury told her, leaning unneces-
sarily close to her, but if you say
So"
And Anne rose, and he had to
follow.
She was glad when some one cut
in on them after a while and took
her away. 1t was Collins, and Anne
found his friendly, amusing chatter
relief from Maurys impressiveness.
She didn't like the way Maury
held her when he danced, had stiff
ened her body against his too-tight
ambrace.
COLLINS inquired whether she
~ was keeping busy, and she told
him about the forthcoming produc-
ton at Grand United and the part
she hoped to merit. She was dep
recating about it, but she could not
conceal from the director her eager
ness.
It's nothing very impressive,
really, but it's rather wonderful to
me"
But it's not the fatness of the
part, Miss Winter; it's what you do
with It," And Collins told her some
things that sounded very comfort
ing and set her to tingling with
hope.
There's Maris Farrell, for in
stance; she Just about stole a pic
ture away from a star once with
few lines"
Maris Farrell. he added. was a
conner" Shell be a star some
day if she keeps on the way she's
going. You met her. didn't
you? She's the girl that had hold
Of Dan Rorimer for a while. For
quite while" he said, and laughed.
His eyes roved the room, and he
said, Il don't see them now. Maybe
Maris has kidnapped her. Don't
trust her too far, Miss Winter. I
warn you. she's dangerous"
Anne threw back her head and
looked up at him and laughed. Il
think she's beautiful" she said. Il
can't blame Dan if he falls under
her spell. Where is she from?"
'Maris? She's a comparatively
newcomer to the screen. She was
glorified by ziegfeld."
Maris, he continued, was the kind
that would get along" She's a
very ambitious girl. and she has the
knack Of being lovely and agree
able to every one she meets"
He added. jokingly, that he won
dered if that wasn't one way of cul-
tivating lovely and agreeable per-
sonality for the screen. Nothing
like working at it all the time, you
know"
Their dance ended, and Collins
wanted to know if she would like
to look around the house and
grounds.
"Helen"-that was his wife-"and
I are like couple of kids with. a
new toy, and we love to show on"
Frank Maury was coming 1ward
them, walking little unstes.diiy,
and Anne hastily agreed.
She Shuddered little to think
Of being cornered by Maury and
having to listen to his heavy Tat
terry especially since it had been
seasoned by his frequent trips to
the punch bowl.
So she told Collins she would love
to explore the house with him, and
he said that if she would promise
to be very quiet about it he would
even let her tiptoe into the chill
dren's bedrooms.
IL promise" Anne said gayly,
L and she took his arm. Il
won't make q sound" And she
asked him TO tell her about his
children.
A leading man Of S." he told her.
