to have another try now that
the lady has divorced Andre
Leighton"
Robin Dale had heard great
deal of the gossip since arriy-
ing at the movie city and the
most persistent rumor had been
that Irma Gladden'S next hus-
band was to have been Warren
Sibley, her equally.famous direc-
tor. OF course there was the
matter of a present Mrs. Sibley,
but the naive, carefree purvey.
ors Of life "a Ia movies were
rarely stumped by such minor
difficulties.
There were the rumors, too,
about Andre Leighton. He had
been her leading man during
the production of her innumer-
able pictures ideally
mated on the screen and in
real life" the critics wrote :.
but a rift in their romance led
to divorce. a new leading man
and swift, downward path for
Leighton. This was brought
about, rumor had it, when the
former leading man took
strongly to drink after losing
the woman he adored.
From every direction, as these
thoughts went through Robin
Dale's mind, came the wraiths
of possible motives for this
crime, ghosts which hovered
about that inscrutible spectre
which was the soul of Irn1a
GLADDEN..
There was something intangi-
BILE, indefinable about q woman
who reused such passions as

flame ~. not only among
those with whom she came in
personal contact but the legion
whose only glimpse of her was
in fleeting. flickering shadow
upon the screen. Such a
strange power could translate
itself from love to hate, from
alteration to bitter jealousy,
from passion to possess into
passion to destroy.
Robin Dale felt himself faS-
cinated by the deep problem it
presented, sensing that it would
lead into unexpected avenues.
He had gone to the window
and was gazing out into the
beautiful patio at the rear of
the dwelling. Graceful palms
nodded in the gentle breeze;
flowers of every hue raised their
colored crowns from innumer-
able beds; in one corner stood
a large hammock with an i'm
