the gangster stuff more. And I
think you ought to shift the scene
from New York to Chicago. What
do you say?"
His manner of making a sugges-
ton was such as to give Rorimer
the impression that he took for
granted its acceptance, but Dan had
no quarrel with him.
The other had logic on his side,
and Dan felt that the picture would
not be apt to suffer in Sloan's
hands.
Hes fond of using that perpen-
dicular pronoun," Dan told Collier,
but guess you have to hand it to
him for knowing his stuff"
you've never seen him work, :"
Paul said. II have. Sloan knows
only one way to make a picture
and that's his own way. When it's

feels that his reputation is at stake
with every picture he turns out, and
it's just too bad if the boys and
girls don't come through the way
he wants them to-"
I Collier said he had no fear that
Dan would have any trouble with
him. you'll get along with him
all right. You might have to make
script changes up to the final shot,
but Sloan's reasons will be good
ones.
"He's a great director; Anne Win
ter's got the biggest opportunity of
her life. Sloan'S made more stars
than any three men in Hollywood,
but they have to work for it.
i've seen Sylvia Patterson re-
duced to Mysteries because of what
she thought at the time was Sloan'S
brutality, but in the end he always
manages to get what he wants out
of them"
A NNE WINTER was in seventh

that Sloan's decision was made
known to her she was summoned
to Mr.. JohnSon's Office and that in

friendly little speech of congratu-
lation and a somewhat fatherly talk
on the necessity for her taking her
work and her opportunity at Grand
United seriously.
Nothing makes us any happier,
Miss Winter, than to give some one
a real chance-eSpecially some one
deserving of it. For your present
opportunity you can thank the
training you acquired on the stage
and your good friend Mr.. Rori-

The executive smiled. 1T was
Rorimer, you know, who informed
us that we weren't taking full adj

I'm grateful to him, and to you for
listening to him-and to Mr.. Sloan,
of course. Everybody has been very
wonderful to me. I'll try very hard
to deserve your kindness"
I'm sure you will-only don't call
it kindness. Miss Winter. We're
pretty hardboiled, really
Anne went at once to Rorimer' S

But Anne glanced around in pre-

well, we can put it of till this
evening, I suppose. but that S a
mighty long time to wait. I'm sure
glad you got it, Anne; you don't
know how madly wanted to see
you get it. Well have to celebrate,

You're such a dear person. Dan

What shall we do?"
Dan considered thoughtfully.
We'll. I don't know" he told her.

Anne Smilingly confessed that
she had none at the moment that
would do justice to the occasion.
