Collier saw them all. He wrote q

spent most OF MS working hours
around the studios or interviewing
stars IN their homes. Like Rorimer.
he had known ziggy Young in
newspaper work in New York, but
he and Rori.ner had become ac-
quainted only on the latter's arrival
in Hollywood. Ii had been a tale

down 70 meet Rorimer's train. and
then. at Ziggy's request, to attempt
a practical joke.
Dan Roriner got his clubs from

Dan gave the matter some thought.
He vas still indignant at ziggy

idea Of chaperoning some movie

about the opportunities for good

ziggy Young had called him a

they had sort OF poured him onto

party.
His mind went back to Anne

beside his bed. Paul Collier had
