for 1922
Here are some of the things
he says will happen:
Nineteen thirty-two will be a
fairly good year for motion pic
lures, though troubled at the
start. March and April should
see things set under way. The
latter part of the year will see
the film industry organized in a
more business-like way. Salaries
will be reduced, and the COM
petitive element between pro-
ducers will be cu-tailed. There
will be many mergers. Three or
four major companies will con-
troll the entire industry by the
end of the year.
Box office receipts will not be
much larger, but with the new
business set-up a profit will be
realized.
One or more high motion-pic-
ture executives will die during
this year,
The legitimate stage will offer
great competition.
The sexy type Of star will be
replaced by those with intellec-
tual appeal.
Australia will be a fertile field
for picture-making during the
coming year. Anyone who goes
there will reap a harvest.
Draconis warns motion picture
companies of several disastrous
lawsuits and urges great caution
in films where explosions are
used.
He says the pinnacle Of wages
and production costs in Holly
wood has been reached for at
least five years. He predicts 1885
will be a boom year for the in
dustry.
Apparently, there is no depres'
sion in the astrologer business,
Draconis asks me not to tell
anyone where he can be reached,
as he has all the work he can
handle.
A group of us were discussing
that San Francisco girl who
warmed a razor blade in her
hand so her lover couldn't feel
cold steel as she Slashed his
throat.
Fiji Dorsay, who had listened
restlesSly, tossed her head and
exclaimed:
Imagine thinking of all those
detaiIs!"

He was a lawyer, and a very
young one. He had only gradu-

a profession that is far too
overcrowded. No millions pour
ing in, and very few hundreds.
But a deliberate building of
good will that looked like a
fine foundation for a future.

A week later, Bernice did
something she had never been
willing to do before. She eloped
with Tom-and married him. &. .
The following morning, when
the news was printed, congratu-
latory messages poured in on
the couple. They sat together
and read them. And near the
end of the batch, there was one
from Joan. It was addressed to
Bernice alone and it made no
mention Of Tom.

something terrible" it read,
"but I have changed my mind.

Many Love Affairs

At the moment our story
opens. B?rnice was involved in
one Of her periodic love affairs.
The lady had never gone in for
marriage; she had always main
taine that it was clumsy and
. far too involved. Accordingly,
her usu-! procedure was to pick
out gentleman, tell both him
and herself that she was in love,
and then to live in the marital
state without benefit of clergy.
In less elegant words, then, the
lady va. something of a bum.
As soon as she tired of the
gentleman in hand which
never took more than a month
or wo-She shook him pronto.
Sometimes there was a little
trouble, and once there was an
isode with a gun that barely
missed the papers. But always
the sta managed to come
through unharmed-and happy.
1t was when one affair was in
It's last stages and another was
in the olfin that Joan came in
extremely handy. It was a
simple matter to 60 out with a
new 10y friend as long as Joan
was along. No matter where
they went, Joan was the third
party. And then, when a jeal-
GUS lover asked her this and
that, yer reply was Simnle

Sweetheart Larceny

Bernice knew Tom. It was
only natural that Joan should
introduce them, and introduce
them rather proudly. Bernice
was a great figure in the the.
ater and Tom was a distinctly
good-looking bird.
It took about two months
after that introduction for
Joan to realize that something
was wrong. You would have
surmised the reason long be-
fore Joan did. Bernice had
made a play for Tom, and he
had gone for it in first-class
fashion.
AS far as Joan was concerned,
he became evasive. He began
to dodge phone calls from her
and to miss appointments. At
the same time, Bernice began to
act strangely. And Joan was
finally compelled to put one and
one together.
She didn't go to Tom about
the situation. She went to Ber-
nice'S dressing room between
the acts one night and spoke a
few words that were very much
to the point.
II know you," she told the
star. and I know what you can
do to a man. I love Tom-and
if you don't keep away from
him. something terrible is going
to happen"

Worked Together

+ VOI KSG IOSSlIlSI
Suppose we tag the star with
the name of Bernice, and her
understudy with the handle of
Joan. The two Of them have
worked together for several
years. Indeed, whenever Bernice
has been engaged for a role
she has always insisted that
Joan he hired at q salary Of $75
o week. And the request was
never refused.
Joan liked Bernice a very
great deal; liked her and ad-
mired her. It was to Bernice
that she owed the fact that she
was working pretty steadily.
And iF she ever wished from the
bottom Of her heart that the
star would fall i'll for just one
or two performances, nobody
knew il but herself.
The underStudy must have
had that hope in her heart. She
wouldn't have been human If
she didn't. I can't imagine any
thing much more unsatisfactory
than standing around in the
wings every night, watching a
performer doing the work you
can do equally as well-and
never getting the chance to open
your mouth.
The star insisted on Joan as
her underStudy for more reasons
than one. In the first place, the
girl ha'l been around her for
some three yeras, and there
weren't many things about the
famou lady that she didn't
know. And you can take it from
me that that included plenty.

today. I love you very dearly
and I'm dreaming of the day
when I will do nothing but be
your wife and make you COM
Portable. But isn't there a
little more time for that?
Maybe my break will come
at any time. Maybe Bernice
will decide to take a vacation
or something-and I can get
my one chance. After that. I'll
be satisfied to call it a go.
Don't you see what it means
to me, Tom. Don't you see
that. all through my life. I'll
have that to look back upon.
Can't you understand how very
much it will mean to me?"
Tom said he understood. I
doubt if he did.

At the present time there are at
least forty-five kinds of vegetation

include the Arizona Verbena, which

of strawberry cactus, one having

Yellow -flowered Creosote bush.
The most difficult desert vegeta-
ton to transplant, in Mr.. Nichols
opinion, were the Palo Verde spe-
cimens because of the fact that
their roots were foln 20 to 80 feet
long. If the roots are broken off the
plant will die. The problem was SOL
we'd by sealing the cut roots with
grating wax in one case and by
coiling the entire root and plant
ing it coiled in another case.
