 Beginning as an extra, Anne Win ter has progressed rapidly and Is now under contract to Grand Unit ed, one of the largest of the Holly wood motion picture studios. Anne has been living with two other girls Mona Morrison and Eva Harley Mona and Eva are extras, but Mona works only occasionally and Eva but rarely. Eva is bitter over this, and over a tragic love experience She leaves Hollywood finally, leav- ing behind her a heart broken note for Anne and Mona.
 Dan Rorimer, former New fork newspaper man and now a scenario - writer, is in love with Anne. but he has come to regard his feeling for her as a hopeless one. Every step upward that Anne takes seems 10 remove her all the farther from him, especially since his release from Continental Pictures and his rather unsuccessful attempts to free lance.
 Paul Collier, who writes daily /, movie column for a string of news papers, shares Dams apartment with him. He has great faith 1T Dams ability, despite the latter's dis - ccuragement. While in New York Dan had written a play for the le- gitimate stage. His agent, unable to place it, finally sends it back tc him, and Anne Winter and Collier when they read it, are enthusiastic over it. They urge Dan to revlse if for the movies Anne, who has not vet had dramatic role on the screen, says she would love tc : play the part of the main girl , character.
 Dan follows their advice and the play is accepted by Grand United He is: given to understand that they think highly of him and may offer him a contract. Then he suggests to the studio executive that Anne Win ter be considered for the picture. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER NXXIV "Well, I'll tell you. Rorimer," MT Johnson said, 1t might be difficult to give that part to Miss Winter even if she did qualify. In the first place there are several nice girl: around here who will probably want it"
 - He smiled. Keeping peace ir the family is one of our most diff ficult jobs at times. Isn't tha' . right, Phillips?" t.. , The scenario chief grinned. TT say"
 And it will be up to the director to decide, anyway" Johnson wen1 les on. There's no question about Lester Moore, of course; he's the logical choice for your gangster Eut there are half a dozen girl' at least, who might do for Jenny So. you see .. :" He smiled .. Rorimer, of course could under stand that casting was not such simple matter.
 . Rorimer nodded. He said h a hoped the other would not thlnI him so foolish, or presumptive. q to try to tell him what to do. IFS pecially afer you've been so kin F to me. But I thought that if " all agreed on Moore-as l ha' . hoped would happen - you migh D think a suggestion was in order When I was working on that treat ment there. I had Anne Winter il mind as well as Lester Moore
 He smiled apologetically. "Yol see. I know what Anne Winter cal do, and I don't believe you do. That, he admitted to himself, wa not true; he didn't know wha Anne was capable of; he only be lieved he did. But he knew wha Anne Winter wanted to do.
 "Wouldn't it be possible h suggested, "to give Anne Winter =- test for the part? You could sool or not. I've got a lot of brass I know" he added with a grin but I've got an idea that in tn end you may thank me for this.'

I'll tell you, now I'll suggest 10 the director tha Mice Winter he plyen , +aet hll I won't go beyond that. We don ~ believe in interference. It'll b Garry Sloan, l guess. If sloa agrees"
 It would be Sloan, Dan though and the rest of the others word . were lost on him. He thought strange then that it had not oc cured to him before-the poss bility of Garry sloans bein chosen; but the idea had neve entered his head
 Mr. Johnson let the matter reg there; he began 10 talk of othe things. Might as well get down | brass tacks Would Rorimer b ready to start at once on the SCI ...s mario?
 First thing tomorrow morning, Dan said.
 -- That's fine" He rose and hel
