to the studio.
Fiske, however, had been SO kind
to her she felt she could not let him
down. She was the famous La Pa
iona now and millions would be
tuning in on their radios, waiting
TO hear her.
The corridor on the studio floor
was lined with people who desired
to get In TO hear the program. Elan
da did not know they had come 10
see her. Suwanee was waiting when
she went inside. He met her with q
smile.
Courage. my dearl You don't
look ~ all rs II anything we're the
matter. Mr.. Fiske requested me 10
ask you II you'd mind going out
and making an appearance in the
corridor so some of those ardent ad-
mirers Of yours can see you. He
also wants me to 20. The announcer
will take US out and introduce us.
They can let only a few Of the chos-
en- in"
There was a hearty cheer when
first Elanda was introduced. then
Suwanee. They took their bows to-
~gether--and Elanda's heart pounded
until 1t seemed IL would corne up
into her throat and choke her.
A silly little flapper called loudly:
You're better lookin' than your
pictures. Mr.. Collier"
There was a loud laugh-then a
young man added.

Suwanee grinned when she and
Suwanee went back to the studio.
There my dear, you see in that
mixed and noisy crowd the great hoi
polloi that buffers U bread. / love
'em. They take the trouble to come
up and tell you why they like you
and write letters, anyway"
In response to dozens Of requests.
Elanda again sang Suwanee's song.
She turned and smiled at him before
beginning this time. II was a feeble
little smile. for her heart was very
heavy. Suwanee nevertheless cher
ished it. 1t held comradeship and
trust.
He decided during the program
that II would be best II he went
down with Elanda and waited out
side the apartment until she de-
livered the baby 70 him. There was
no use In her making the trip. An
dree would be perfectly happy TO
60 bye-bye with him.
Elanda let herself in with a ham,
mering heart. Bang and Dixie were
ready to 20. They kissed the baby
who was In her little pajamas and
told her good night.
They had no more than gone out
the door when Elanda started hunt

moving in on the theater as a
medium OF livelihood
The salaries OF the youngsters
range from $50 to $50 a week and
several have been asked &c tide
their mothers and fathers over the
dull voorhees, periods In the thea
ter. Most of them. however. DO
not come from theatrical families.
At first glance. but for its 10
cation. this would not seem 70 pe
greatly different from other insti-
tutions OF instruction. The class
room Is a bit more attractively dec
Grated than most: the youngsters
are CARRIED better than the general
run Of school children and some
times the suggestion OF the stage
child Is accentuated by the pres
ence OF meticulosly curled ringlets
or snappy attire.
Otherwise. the dear old black
board is just where 1t always was
and so Is the atlas. Realizing that
the stage child is more than ordi-
narily precocious az times. teach
ers r carefully selected.
During recess. however. the back
ground OF the theater becomes
more evident. Very much like their
elders they talk shop" discuss the
general conditions on the stage and
tell OF recent roles. One youngster
may eloat a bit over a neat part
just finished in a talking picture,
and a couple Of others may be dis
cussing the vocal merits OF a news
boy who Is breaking into radio pro-
grams.
But temperament and standing In
the theater has nothing TO do
with the usual school discipline.
The most promising young star
is likely to have TO stay after school
for misbehavior Just as certainly as
is the most unpromising prospect.
Furthermore. their play i carefully
directed TO make them as nearly a.
possible like their less gifted bro

and laughter and sacrifice and sympathy TO be fos-

Mother Goose and her fairy crew come back:
knights who have been victorious on far crusades

who are preparing for the day when they. too. shall

70 note that even lands like Japan and Soviet Rus

even more than that, II is an eloquent sign Of the

about warfare.
which is a very hopeful sign for the peace Of the
