I
think that perhaps Sylvia Patter-
son felt it was less to her choice
than to her interests to feed Garry
Sloan's vanity.
And Dan resented him.
Anne Winter said, 81 may be do
ing bit in this picture yet. 1t
sounds almost too good to be true, I
know; but Mr.. Sloan himself talked
to me today and they may give me
few lines"
"Atta girl" Dan said encourag-
ingly. Didn't 1 tell you you'd
knock EN- dead if you got a
CHANGER" Rather abruptly he asked,
What do you think of Sloan?"
Hes rather wonderful, Dan,''
Anne got up from her chair and
took few nervous steps toward one
of the front windows. There she
stood, gazing into night and moth
ingness for a minute or two, and
Dan perceived, when she turned her
face toward him again, that she was
highly agitated.
He said, I'm nothing but a
clumsy idiot to be staying when you
should be resting. Tomorrow may
mean tremendous lot to you, and
I'm keeping you from bed. You're
a little nervous; you ought to have
some hot milk and go right to
Sleep"
Anne said, ooh, Dan, you talk as
if I were baby. I'm going to have
sandwiches and coffee, and so are
you.
"Inl-Im just little silly, sup
pose. Only, it does mean ire
mendous lot to me; you were right.
And it shouldn't, of course; a bit
is only a bit, after all-I'm only
fooling myself if I think it means
any more.
ga week from now I suppose I
shall be looking for any kind of
extra work and thinking myself
lucky if I get it,"
ID ORIMER smiled. Il wish Dick
N Charles could hear you talk,
Anne. I'm sure he'd be surprised
at your humility. He isn't used to
it.
Dick says: Give an extra bit
and he automatically thinks he's
bit player and doesn't want to do
extra work again. And 1 suppose
he knows as much about it as any
casting director in Hollywood"
He went over to her and took
her hand in his and patted it.
You're going to go over. Anne; I
know it. There's nothing can stop
you, because-well, because you've
got more ability right now than
nine-tenths of them. Wait till they
hear you sing. Have you sung for
them yet, Anne?"
Anne said, IF course not, silly
and she laughed. why, I'd be
frightened to death to sing for
Garry Sloan" \
you sang for me-" Dan remind
ed her.
Il know, but I've such tiny little
voice, Dan"
He told her that she did not have
to shout over the microphone. "Is
there any chorus singing in the
picture?" he asked.
Anne said there was not, and she
proceeded to tell him the story of
the picture. It's working title, she
informed him, was Married in
May"
Sylvia Patterson has several
songs, and Raymond Marbury. And
Pat Stanton and Mary Ellis have
one or two. But there's no chorus
singing.
Mr.. Sloan, though, has a wonder
full male quartet in it. And he's
building up one of the scenes-just
before the quartet comes on. It's
one Of the hcuSe-party sequences
where we all wear sport clothes. You
know? And he wants to give some
lines to one or two of the un-
important guests. And that's where
I come in"
Mona's cheerful voice from the
kitchen announced loudly that
coffee and sandwiches were on the
way, and she, and Eva followed a
moment later with trays.
ANNE can pour the coffee" Mona
said, and she dropped gratefully
and noisily into a chair. mo sugar
for me, Anne, dear-and I love it
so, too" she sighed. She turned
to Dan and said, Wouldn't it be
wonderful to have a figure like
Anne or Eva? They can eat as
much as they want and never add
an ounce. But mel-gosh, Dan, it's
awful"
Eva Harley, passing sandwiches
to Dan, smiled. How is your pic
ture coming along, Mr.. Rorimer?"
she asked politely.
DAN was a little surprised at the
- question. 1t was the first time
he had heard Eva express curiosity
about anything.
Mona said, Whats the idea OF
the Mr. Rorimer. Eva? His E,me
is Dan"
~welI, Dan, then,". said Eva.
"That sounds a lot better" Dan
said.
The picture, he informed them,
was proceeding satisfa ctor lily
enough. But it's nothing to rave
about. I saw some rushes today,
and Collins seemed to be, Satisied.,i
And what kind OF newspaper
reporter is Frederick Atwood?'
Anne wanted to know.
Rurimer gFinned. Just too nice
Tor words he said.
Mona said. That doesn't sound
