ain companies supplied nearly lo' per cent of the cigars used in the saloons. The saloon keepers and their bar-tenders all belonged to the union and they insisted on us- ing union-made cigars. Although Mr. Muller does not believe the saloon will return he thinks the cl- gar manufacturers would benefit even if persons were able to drink without violating the law.
 In the past 10 years many inde- pendent cigar makers have passed out of existence. At present there are only few companies in business MT. Muller has in a few months cut his staff down to one employe. Former cigar makers are working at other occupations.
 The large corporations with their lower salary scales, extensive adver- tising and machine made cigars are gradually replacing the small manu- facturer, NIr. Muller says.
 As far as could be learned today, Muller, Joseph Menousek, the L. & B. Cigar Co.,, and John Richter are the only New Britain cigar manu- lecturers. It is said that at least two others passed out of existence ia the past two years.

 Mr. Muller explained that the in crease in cigarette smoking by wo- men, especially young girls, has had it's effect on the men. Boys who arc with girls are likely to smoke q cigarette when q girl decides to Go SO. The small cigar :aanufactura% as we'll as the large corporations feel the effect of the decline.

There was nothing to do, then, but wait. but it was something to know that Phillips was for it.
 Just how important is Phillips, alyway?" Dan asked Collier.
 Hes got a big job; his word goes a long way" Paul said. But it's the production department that's hardboiled. Getting by them is sometimes different matter. But you don't need to worry" he added positively, They're not dizzy enough to pass that up
 "No?" Dan was skeptical. You don't know how dizzy a production department can be. I've had eX- perience with one. Plenty" he added with bitter emphasis.
 But Paul said he wasn't dealing with Continental now. This is real outfit
 Anne was curious to know what had happened. She called him up
  out that evening and danced. It was the first time in many weeks that he had danced with her, and he reminded her of this.
 Who's been taking you around?"
 And Anne laughed gaily. "Oh, not many people,
 Plenty, I'll bet He knew that she had been going out a great deal of late She was not very busy these days, doing very little more than reporting daily to the studio. He accused her of forgetting him.
 You know better" sne salG lightly.
 "Ycan? Don't tell me. I know a thing or two about some of the handsome boy friends. What chance has a hack writer got against these young screen idols?"
 Anne said, You're not a hack writer.''
 Well, what am I?"
 For one thing, you're very ob- stinate and - little boyish.' She gazed at him thoughtfully across the little table where they sat and shook her head. Dan, you ougl,e to believe in yourself more. Some time l think you just don't care what happens"
 'Oh, yes l do."
 Then stop calling yourself a hack writer. You know very well that a hack writer couldn't write q play like yours"
 Well, nobody bought it." He srnned,
 "Oh, you're too unreasonable to argue with" she said impatiently. You're hopeless"
 "Bull-headed, eh?" and at her despairing head shake he became serious once more. explained that the play really meant more to him than she thought. It's come to mean too much Anne. If it isn't accepted l think 1 Tll-lll cut my throat or some thing. That's the way l feel about I i. now"
 Anne watched him light a ciga- aret, watched him with a wistful little smile trembling on her lips as | he blew out the match and dropped 1 it in the ash tray. She said, as he lifted his eyes, They'll accept it, Dan"
 If they do," he said. "I'll sure celebrate. His blue eyes twinkled again. And I'll begin to sleep regularly again."
 If it was accepted, he was think ing, he'd have suggestion to make to Grand United. But Anne need not know about that until later.

 Another week slipped by. Paul Collier had gone to Seattle to spend his vacation

 He had asked Dan to wire him it Grand United took his play, so he would have an opportunity to 1 celebrate. Only. Paul had not said ''it'; he had said "when.' Dan began to think the studios silence was unreasonable, and once or twice he had half angrily been

Good. I've been wanting to talk to you about it ever since l read it, but I've been so busy these last two weeks that I've been dizzy. Your plays got a wallop, all right. You know, the night l took it home to read it we had company. Cnexpect- cd. They didn't leave until midnight, and after they'd gone I picked it Up and sort of glanced at it. expecting to finish it the next day. Know what happened? I read it right through. It's got a great kick. l guess my secretary told you I was enthusi- astic about it. Where'd you get the idca?"
 Dan told him. Phillips smiled. well, now that we've agreed on price, I think we ought to have a little libation," he said, and ne opened a little cabinet beside his desk and brought out a bottle and two glasses.
 He poured one glass full, handed it 10 Rorimer, filled his own, lifted i! to his lips. and there he paused.
 Happy days he said
 And when he had set his glass down he spoke through the inter- office phone to his secretary and asked her to find out if Mr John son was busy.
 The boss wants 10 see you," he told Rorimer. Now that he's sold, hes sold hard. He's been asking a 1 lot of questions about you and some of them I couldn't answer. You'll l have to talk to him. Just between the two of us, he's pretty much interested in you. If he makes you any kind of proposition I hope you'll think it over, Rorimer.'
 Dan nodded and murmured somc- thing. Everything, he reflected. came in punches. Not only had Grand United bought his play. but now, Phillips talked as if they meant to offer him a job. And he thought of Paul Collier up in Seat tie. That would be something to wire Paul all right, if Johnson was ! going to make him an offer.
 While they waited for his secre- tary to report, Phillips confided that "TEaitor' would make great story for Lester Moore.
 We've been looking for a story for Moore, and this is made to i crder.'
 Dan could not repress a smile at this, and at the others look of in quiry he confessed that he had been waiting to hear that very thing said, T had Moore in mind when 1 wrote that treatment. 1 was hoping you'd see it."
 There was a muted sound on Phillips desk, and he picked up the receiver ard spoke with his sec retary. He rose then. He's in, Rorimer; let's Gc."

He sat down then to his typewrit- while he laid what he had written in front of Dan and asked him 10 read it.
 It was "column" about the Hollywood extras. q moving little story about an army that was fore

tempted to call, believing that Grand United should be told there were other studios in Hollywood to whom he might submit his play.
 And then one day Phillips secre- tary called him and asked him to come over to the office. She said, with smile in her voice: Its good news, Mir. Rorimer, and I'm very glad"
 That's mighty nice otyou," he told her. feeling that the world suddenly had become a much brighter place. "I'll be right over"
 Phillips welcomed him with a broad smile and hearty hand clasp. Think we were never go- ing to decide, Rorimer? We'll it wasn't my fault-nobody's fault in particular; we've been sort of up in the air and things have to take their turn, you know"
 At any rate, he said, Grand Uni ted wanted to buy his play. T think it's pretty swell, and what's more important, so does Mr. John son. How much do you want for it ?"
 Dan gazed at him rather blankly, and Phillips laughed and told him not to look so flabbergasted. Sit down. 1 just asked you how much you wanted for it, that's all."
 ''I haven't thought about that at all,' Dan replied uncertainty. All could think about was whether it would suit you. How much is it worth to you?"
 Phillips named figure. "Is that satisfactory? I think it's very fair - more than you'd get anywhere else. probably, It's pretty high con- sidering what we pay for most original stories, but 1 like your play and l think it's worth it."
 That's perfectly satisfactory, Dan said.
