Lost Love Story

Lost Love Story
The strangest reaction to a
lost love I have ever heard, how
ever, was told to me the other
night by Mr.. Marc Lachmann,
the genial press agent.
Some years back, it seems, a
young producer fell very much
in love with a little lady who
was then playing a minor part
in one of his productions. For
some three years he built her
up by degrees. That was easy
for him to do because while he
was building, he married her.
Il have big plans in mind for
you, honey" he assured her.
You're going to be a great star
not only in America, but in
England as well. Just you hold
tight and bide your time. Your
husband loves yOu-and he's
working for you. Just watt"
AS is usual in such cases, the
little wiley didn't have quite
as much talent as her husband
thought she had. BY the time
the three years had rolled
around she was billed as the
greatest of stars. But billing
doesn't swamp the box offices
and hubby discovered that his
back was not only against the
wall but half way through it.
Sought English Fame
He was still completely nuts
about his bride and had never
forgotten the fact that he
wanted to star her in England.
Neither, you may be sure, had
she. so, after she had spoken
to him about it several times,
he cabled to various theatrical
managers in London and Of
fered her as an attraction.
Sadly enough, the boys on
the other side couldn't see the
American star at all, at all.
They simply weren't interested.
The producer. loving the gal as
he did, couldn't tell her that
the English didn't think she
was so hot. He decided to take
her to London and star her
himself.
He went to everybody he
could possibly approach for
money. He took $1,000 here
and $500 there. Then, when he
thought he had almost enough,
he engaged a portion of his
company and sailed for Eng
land. He was a little worried,
but plenty happy. For he was
doing everything he could to

BLIND INDIAN GIRL RETURNS ID ALASKA
 ID TEACH BLIND

Miss Melba Call was a recent arrival at Tanana after attending schools Outside for 13 years. At Panama she will begin her hte work of a girl who has risen tri- umphant over obstacles nature set up against her and now will lm- part her skill to others, says the Fairbanks News-Miner.
 Helen Keller of the North" Melba Call has been named. Born in 1910-her 21st birthday will oc- cur in October-on the eastern shore of Nebnek Lake on the lower Alaska Peninsula, Melba had nor nal eyesight until she was three years old She lost her vision then during an illness and has been totally blind since, When she was in a bureau of education orphanage, Miss Corinne Call, for long teacher of the Eskimo and Indians, became in !! terested in the girl and adopted her.
 1 Melba showed such exceptional ability to learn that she was sent to school for the blind at Van- couver, Washington, and remained there II years. Her work won her a scholarship at Perkins Institute for the Blind at Cambridge, Mas SachusettS, and she has been doing postgraduate work there for the last two years.
 When school at Panama opens Melba will have 10 blind pupils. In the district there are 54 blind adults but home work among them will not be undertaken for the present.
 By no means is life dull and dreary thing for her. She can play bridge and enjoys the game The cards she uses are, of course, marked so she can differentiate them by sense of touch.
 Melba is an accomplished mu- sician. She has shown real ability as a pianist and has broadcast ever a number of stations.
