Pittsburgh decided. Accordingly,

He is a breezy individual whose

Worked For Mother

On this particular night,
suckers must have been scarce,
for, as I remember, there
weren't more than five people
in the place. And of those,
three were newspaper men
which will give you some idea
of how bad business must
have been.
There was something about
Gloria that attracted me. She
seemed to be above the aver
age steer joint" hostess and
I asked her why she was
working in a joint of this type.
II make GOOD money. l
guess that's my only excuse" ;"
she replied.
Then she went on to explain
that she had mother to keep,
which was an old story. But,
In this case, I believed it.
"You see, big boy" she ex-
planned, my mother gave me
a swell time when l was kid
and now I'm trying to give
her a good time. I can pick up
seventy-five bucks and more a
week in this dump, and in that
way send Ma a nice little wad
each week"
Though rescuing danes from
sin joints is not one of my
strong points, I really felt in
terested in this kid and, when
the opportunity presented itself,
l gave her note to a certain
producer. He looked her over
and promptly put her in one of
his shows.
While the move from a
"steer joint" to a Broadway
show may have improved Glor-
las status, it certainly didn't
improve her morals. For, in
side of a few months. she was
riding high. wide and hand

Mark Meets Mama
Whenever I met her, how.
ever, it was the same old story.
I'm doing this to give Mama
a good time" she'd repeat. And
then, reading the doubt in my
eyes. she'd add: Listen. Mark,
I know you don't believe me,
but one night I'll introduce
you to Ma and when you see
how happy she is, perhaps
you'll realize that it's worth
it."
One night. in the Central
Park Casino. 1 met Mama. A
fat, overbearing dame with
piggy eyes that spelt greed
and selfiShness. 1 sat beside
her and as we slipped our
drinks. Gloria was dancing on
the floor with her latest catch.
A guy whose reputation would
have made garbage smell sweet.
Gloria doesn't look very
happy" I remarked.
"Oh, Mr.. Hellinger, how can
you say such thing?" the old
dame Simpered. "Of course,
she is. Such a nice gentleman,
her friend, and Gloria'S simply
mad about him. I'm not an old
fashioned mother, you know,
Mr.. Hellinger. 1 believe in let
tins my dear girl have her lit
tel fling"
1 glanced at the ice on the
old DANES arms. I glanced at
her beady eyes and cruel
mouth. Lord, how could
have socked that dame!
AS they say in the story
book, our scene changes. It
is now 1882 and Gloria is no
longer to be seen hitting the
high spots, riding in limousineS
or gracing a Park Avenue du-
plex. No. she hasn't commit
ted suicide, taken to dope or
hit the booze wagon. Gloria
has merely fallen in love. It
there SO much difference?
1t all happened at the begin
ming of this year. Gloria felt
she had done enough for Mama,
who was now comfortably pro-
vided for. And to the surprise
of everybody, Broadway's prize
gold-digger let everything go
and fell hopeleSSly in love with
commercial artist whose
weekly pay check never ex-
ceeded sixty bucks.
Mama Is Mad
Of course, even now, the re-
spectacle folks would look a
little askance on Gloria's
liaison. For her sweetheart is
married and, though he hasn't
seen his wife for years, he can't
afford the price of a divorce.
But whether you call it living
in sin" or living in love"
they're a mighty happy couple.
And I guess most tolerant peo-
pie will forget that they haven't
got a marriage certificate in
the bottom drawer.
About month ago, I
chanced on Gloria's mother.
The same fat, SNUG looking
woman I had met a few years
back.
I raised my hat and stopped
to talk to her for a moment.
Have you seen Gloria
lately?" I asked.
Il certainly haven't" she re-
piled. And I don't want to;
the ungrateful little good-for-
nothing. After all I've done for
her-she leaves her poor old
mother to get along as best she
can"
But I understand she's very
happy now" I said.
Happy"
The old woman shifted her
disapproval.
Happy, indeed. Living in
sin with miserable artist fel-
low. DiSgraceful, I call it..
Where's her decency?"
Lord. how I could have socked
that dame!

Seeks An Idea

Seeks An Idea
Resisting the temptation to
throw the Bromo-Seltzer bottle
at him, I murmured something
about having a minute to spare
and told him to sit down.
"I'll only keep you a few
seconds" he said, but I need
your help badly. I've got a
commission for a new mother
song and I'm stuck for a
theme. I thought, maybe, you
could give me an idea. You
know the sort of thing I
want. Plenty of heart-throbs
and pathoS."
I told him that, at that
moment, I could probably work
out a swell theme for mur-
der song, or pen an immortal
ode to a hangover. But
mothers were not in my line.
well" he said as he left.
Maybe you'll think of some
thing. If you do, let me know
for I sure need a new mother
theme"
I returned to my typewriter
and once more stared discon-
solately at the blank sheet of
paper in front of me.
Theme for a mother song!
Funny, but there was some
thing about that phrase that
joggeo my memory back a few
years-and in a few seconds
I had my story. I don't sup
pose it will help my song
writing pal much, but it may
amusr my customers. So here
it is:
I first came across Gloria
in 1928. Maybe should say
she came across me, for, as a
matter of fact. she introduced
herself by giving me the eye
in a side street gyp dive
where she acted as hostess.
To be less polite and more
correct, Gloria was a shake
down" girl whose job it was
to trim the suckers who had
been steered to the dump.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Sept. 49,.
Now that Universal has had time
to catch its breath from bund-
ling Sidney Fox off to Paris, the
details OF her unexpected trip
are coming out.
Hollywood's most petite actress
she's only 4 feet l inch tall
will play opposite the portly
Feodor Chaliapin in a talkie YER
sion of "Ond Quichot. The pro
duction will have songs-as might
be expected with the opera
singer in the cast-but Sidney
won't have to worry about that.
She'll provide the romantic in
tereSt.
Though far away from home,
the tiny actress will be working
under John Farrow, who got his
film training in Hollywood. He
and German named PabSt will
co-direct the picture.
Meanwhile, Universal is p"epar-
ing that special story against Sid
ney's return to Hollywood eight
weeks from now.
It's an amusing story Sybil
Leavy tells on Lou Darro, Los
Angeles wrestling promoter and
former circus man.
The other night Lou was ex-
patiating on the feats Of muscle
he used to perform.
"Why!" he exclaimed, IT >ften
used to lie down on my back
and let a truck pass over my
chest"
What for!" piped a little
blonde, Ito collect insurance."
During his varied career, George
Raft has had to maintain four
different weights. When he was
an amateur boxer in New York
he had to tip the scales at 112
pounds. When he was a profes-
sional dancer in this country and
Europe, he kept his weight at
1870. Since going to work for
Paramount, he tips the scale at
his normal weight of 140 pounds.
Long missing from his Holly
wood haunts, Mickey Neilan is
now in New York preparing to
film an independent picture. He
has wired to Irene Rich. asking
her to come East for a part.
Though the deal isn't set, she
probably will accept.

Worthwhile Project

Working on the theory that every
industrial concern and it's workers
are entitled to the benefits of or
ganized accident prevention, the Ma
tional Safety Council has announced
plan for spreading the gospel OF
industrial safety throughout the
length and breadth of the land. Ev-
cry concern, large or small, can have
the organization help in establish
ing a plan for continuous cam
paign of accident prevention.
The plan offered may be pretty
well described by one word, "per-
sonalized" 1t takes cognizance of
the fact that safety work is every
body's businessmen merely that of
safety engineers and shop foremen.
Every person connected with the
plant becomes stakeholder" in the
work. The Council has provided In
dustrial Safety Trophies which will
be awarded the department or group
winning the year-round safety con-
test within company. The individ-
