I Roel1f made a go of it, too; he
wasn't bad; everybody said that
the kid was bound for big sue
cess.
And Sloan cast him in another
picture with her; and then one
night Garry saw him making love
to Lola-and everything was off
right away.
Roelif was making thousand dol
lars a week at the time, and since
then I don't believe he's worked in
picture"
No one, Collier said, seemed to
know exactly what had happened.
"a lot of funny things happen in
this village, Dan"
The fact remained, though. that
Sloan had been offended, and Sloan
had influence in Hollywood.
n
NNE didn't take stories like this
~ too seriously, Dan thought;
nevertheless, there might be wis
dom in being careful not to give the
man cause for offense, especially
during production of a picture that
might mean everything to Anne
Winter and great deal to himself.
But it was not on his own account
that he felt any concern; he owed
nothing to Sloan's good will, he fig
ured, and he felt there was little
that a mans whiln could do to him
to cause him to lose any sleep.
Anne, though, was different. Anne
Winter might some day be star if
the fates were kind enough, and no
one could do more for her than
Garry Sloan.
He wondered then if the director
really had become interested" in
Anne Winter, as gossip had limited.
And he wondered, with a touch of
jealousy and resentment of Sloan's
power, what Anne might think of it.
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 at a restau-
rant table and Moore, as Michael,
the dapper, handsome gangster, was
brazenly holding her hand, con-
temptuously 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, con-
scienceless, and scheming as ever;
and his girl" was a little fearful
for him and afraid of him.
The scene ended. Sloan nodded
and sat back in his chair. He
called Anne over to him and she
sat beside him and listened while
he talked in low voice, and Dan
got up and strolled outside.
At the door he ran into Phillips
bound for one of the other stages
Phillips stopped for a moment to
ask question.
Sloan shooting tonight?"
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 tough
scene tomorrow"
Phillips nodded. He asked Dan
what he thought of Garry Sloan by
this time.
Hes great" Dan said. Hes
some director"
The other chuckled and said
He'll do till the next one comes
along, guess" and he raised his
hand and passed on.
Dan wandered back to the set
The thing that Anne was to do or
the morrow was something that the
manuscript had not called for in its
original version.
When Michael was shot, Rorimel
had represented the grief of Jenny
his girl" as dry-eyed and stunned
and inarticulate. Sloan had changed
that 1t was not emotional enough
to suit him.
AS it was now written, Anne was
called upon to sob and shed tear;
over the loss of her sweetheart.
I'VE want to create more pity fol
her" Sloan had said. Il want yor
to turn it on, Anne-all the way
A NNE had agreed with him that
/ IA the scene would be a bigger
one that way, but she was little
afraid of it. She told Mona: I'll
never please him-never.
Sloan was discussing it with heI
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 &C
through it.
You know what I want, Anne
You can save it all for tomorrow
Can't We have dinner somewhere
instead? We can go to some nice
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 headache; I'm
afraid I'd be terrible"
