HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June %.
In the future, Ann Harding will
give no interviews to the press.
AS the first step in her new
policy of aloofness, the blonde
star has put her affairs in the
hands of Harry Ellington, Greta
Garbo's business counselor, and
the man who many believe origi-
nally advised the Swedish actress
to adopt an air of mystery.
Ann denies, however, that she
is copying Garbo.
"After the divorce" she told
me, 81 decided the only thing
to do was not to talk about
anything"
The fact is, Ann is very much
embittered about all the gossip
that followed what she and
Harry Bannister intended to be a
clean-cut announcement of their
separation. She always has hated
publicity, anyway, and this was
the final straw.
1 did find out-and I hope Ann
will forgive me for wheedling a
sort of interview out of her
that she raised objections to the
story R.K.O. wants her to do
with Richard Dix. She won't
pass final Judgment, though,
until she sees the script.
In the meanwhile, she is en-
joying a rest in her hilltop
home-A home as secluded as
even Ann might desire. Only
one road approaches. it and a
hard-boiled watchman stands
guard at the gate.
I get a laugh out of the story
Bejo Kalmar tells of the three
down-at-the-heel acrobatS who
were playing a small mid-western
town.
After very bad dinner, they
took a walk to kill time until the
performance. Presently, they
came to a fine looking house.
Sitting on the porch was a we'll
fed old man, smoking a big
black cigar.
Pipe that guy, said the first
acrobat, "he looks like he has
everything he wants"
They walked down the block
a way. "Yeh," said the second
acrobat wistfully "he's probably
got 100000"

Obliged to Work

The boys father, however.
had practically no money at all.
Although he was heart and soul
with his boys ambition, he
couldn't help him much in a
financial way. So the boy did
the next best thing. He would
hurry home from college every
afternoon, don his apron and
work behind the counter of the
chain grocery near his home.

with canned goods. The man
ager was busily engaged in
counting the cash in the till, as
the store would close in about
10 minutes. They were working
side by side, George lifting
canned goods from the counter
to the shelves.
They were rudely interrupted

in the midst of transferring a
large can of peaches from the
counter to the shelf, did like
wise, in spite of the fact that
he still clutched the can of
peaches in his right hand.
Delivers Message
THE strar~er's message was
short and to the point. He
wanted the days receipts and
he wanted them in a hurry.
The manager, his face white,
fumbled with the money in his
haste to get rid of it. George
stood motionless, the can of
peaches still poised in mid-air.
Suddenly a thought struck
him. The thug was centering
his attention on the manager
and had not once looked at
George. The boy looked at
him a brief instant and then
made the necessary motion to
crash the can of peaches down
on the head of the invader.
But, quick as he was, the
hold-up man was quicker. His
left hand, which had been out
of sight behind the counter,
swiftly made an appearance
and in its grasp was a wicked
looking blackjack. The kid had
no more than started his arm
when that blackjack crashed
on his forehead. The boy knew
nothing more for some time,
for the terrific blow had
opened his face clear down to
his chin.
George spent many weary
days in the hospital after that.
He had been in pretty bad
shape, but the doctors we're
right when they said he would
recover even though he would
be disfigured for life. The
company he had worked for
had been paying his hospital
expenses, and he felt certain
that they would repay him in
some way for his attempt to
foil the robbery.

Georges convalescence final

could move about. Although
the scar was terrible, the dizZi-
ness that had made his life a
hell for many weeks had all but
left him-and the doctors told
him that, if he used care, he
could hope for a normal life.
He had lost a whole Semester'S
schooling. but he felt certain he
could make that up with the
aid Of a summer school.
