and no one could do more for her
than Garry Sloan.
He wondered then II the director
really had become interested" in
Anne Winter. as gossip had limited.
And he wondered. with a touch Of
jealousy and resentment or Sloan's
power, what Anne might think Of
1t.
He watched Sloan now as he
hunched forward in his chair,
frowningly intent on Anne and
Lester Moore In a scene. The two
were sitting Mt a restaurant table
and Moore, as Michael, the dapper,
handsome gangSter, was braZenly
holding her hand, contemptuously
unmindful Of the other diners about
them.
Dan smiled. Moore was good
very good. He was boastful. swag-
gering and tough. Michael was
back from the war. unreformed.
constituencies and scheming as
ever; and his "Eirlr was a little
fearful for him and afraid OF him
The scene ended. Sloan nodded
and sat back In his chair. He called
Anne owe to him and she sat be-
side him and listened while he
talked in a low voice. and Dan got
UP and strolied outside. AT the
door he ran into Phillips. bound for
one Of the other stages. Phillips
stopped for q moment TO ask q
question.
Sloan shooting t%onight?"
Dan shook his head. Not unless
he changes his mind. Anne Winter
said he wanted to rehearse her a
little bit. though. She's got a tough
scene tomorrow"
Phillips nodded. He asked Dan
what he thought OF Garry Sloan by
this time.
Hes great" Dan said. He's
some director
The other chuckled and said,
He'll do till the next one comes
along, I guess and he raised his
hand and passed on.
Dan wandered back to the set.
The thing that Anne was TO do on
the morrow was something that the
manuscript had not called for In the
original version. When Michael
was shot, Rorimer had represented
the grief Of Jenny. his girl as
dry-eyed and stunned and inarticu-
late Sloan had changed that. III
was not emotional enough to suit
him. AS it was now written. Anne
was called upon to sob and shed
tears over the loss Of her sweet
heart.
we want 70 create o pity for
her" Sloan had said. IL want you
10 turn IL on, Anne-all the way"
Anne had agreed with him that
the scene would be a bigger one
that way. but she was a little afraid
OF II. She told Mona: I'm never
please him-never.'
Sloan was discussing IL with her
now, explaining Just what he ex-
pected her TO do. And he said he
had changed his mind about keep
ing her late and having her 90
through IL.
You know what I want. Anne.
You can save ii all for tomorrow
Can't we have dinner somewhere

cool place and talk things over
And Anne nodded That would
be much better, she said. I'm glad
you're not going to make me work
this evening. I've a headache; I'm
afraid I'd be terrible"
Sloan laughed. I'm not worried
about you, Anne. I'm sorry about
your headache. Maybe a little ride
and dinner will chase II away"
He let her go then and turned his
attention to the scene that was
awaiting his direction. and Anne
moved off toward her dressing room.
Rorimer. sitting off TO IN side. saw
her coming toward him and he smil-
edand asked how she was feeling.
Ready to knock 'em dead?"
II feel" Anne replied. -as III I'm
waiting for the executioner to come
and take me away. DO you know
how that feels?'
Dan nodded. I've never been
there. but I've got an imagination.
Rehearsing tonight?"
