T know, but I've such a tiny little voice, Dan."
 He told her that she did not have to shout over the microphone, 'Is there any chorus singing in the picture?" he asked.
 Ane said there was not, and she proceeded to tell him the story of the picture. Its working title, she informed him, was Married in May"
 Sylvia Patterson has several songs. and Raymond Marbury, And Pat Stanton and Mary Ellis have one or two. But there's no chorus singing. Mr Sloan, though, has a . wonderful male quartet in it. And he's building up one of the scenes just before the quartet comes on. It's one of the house-p party se- qucnces-where we all wear sport clothes. You know? And he wants to give some lines to one or two of the unimportant guests. And that's where l come in"
 Mona's cheerful voice from the kitchen announced loudly that Cof- fee and sandwiches were on the way, and she and Eva followed a moment later with trays.
 Anne can pour the coffee" Mona said and she dropped gratefully and noisily into a chair. No sugar for me Anne. dear-and I love it so, too." she sighed. She turned to Dan and said, Wouldn't it be wonderful 10 have figure like Anne or Eva :? They can eat as much as they want and never add anounce. But me- gosh, Dan, it's awful"
 Eva Harley, passing sandwiches to Dan, smiled. How is your pie turo coming along, Mir. Rorimer ?' she asked politely.
 Dan was a little surprised at the question. It was the first time he i had heard Eva express curiosity about anything.
 Mona said. What's the idea of the Mir Rorimer, Eva? His name IS Dan"
 Well, Dan. then" said Eva
 That sounds a lot better Dan said.
 The picture. he informed them, was proceeding satisfactorily enough. But it's nothing to rave i about. saw some rushes today and Collins seemed to be satisfied" l And what kind of a newspaper reporter is Frederick Atwood 2" Anne wanted 10 know.
 Rorlmer grinned. Just too nice for Words,' he said. Mona said, That doesn't sound so ! hot" and Dan admitted that per haps he was damning Atwood with faint praise.
 Hes a good actor and a good i follow.' he said. but every time At wood talks he sounds as though he has just had his voice manicured. Hes that correct and precise" And i police reporters, he went on 10 say, l didn't talk like actors. They talk ike police reporters. i T like that crack" Mona said, about the manicured voice. :. And what will you do after this pie ture is finished-write another one ?'' Rorimcr said he supposed so. i've got a little more than five months 10 go before they can fire me" he said, and he laughed.
 That's great break,' said Mona, How would you like to shop around tor jobs by th eday? ., How do you think it would feel, Eva, 10 have a steady job-for a month, even 2" And to Dan she added: We get our checks at the erd of the day-whcn we're working. And if there's a job tomorrow you're in luck"
 Eva Harley said, And how" She said it unsmilingly and, Rori- mer, thought. little bitterly.
 He made his excuses a few min- utes later and departed; and when he got back to his hotel he felt strangely at war with himself; the evening, despite Mona's attempts to put him at his ease, had not con- tributed to his peace of mind. He tried 10 tel himself that Anne Win ter's welcome had been as warm as usual but he thought: The girl wants to be left alone"
 The prospect of bed was singuarly uncheering, so he sat for while in one of the lobby divans, his hat and coat in his lap, and watched the party-goers drift past him 10 the dancing room, the women, eX- pensiyely wrapped and coifed. chat tering animatedly; the men follow ing more quietly in dinner suits like uniforms.
