Nancy Carroll seldom scars to
acting eminence, but she has one
of those roles wherein the poor
little pretty girl wins the great

with fair acting and close to

ably registers a box office bulls

insult Propaganda

And that nonsense, mind you,
does not come from a gentle
man who is mentally unbal-
anced. It was told to me by a
Greek who is by no means a
fool in his own home town. He
means well and he is in earnest.
He has simply been blinded by
the insult propaganda that has
been accepted as gospel IN this
interesting land.
I know neither Sammy's at
torneys nor his press representa-
tives over here. But to them I
doff my hat in honest admira-
ton. BY subtle propaganda that
grew more daring as it was
spread, they have turned a man
on guard to a man of God. The
Greek people actually expect
Samuel insult to lead them from
the wilderness.
Well, he might do it, at that.
Provided, of course, he can sell
sufficient shares in Wilderness,
Incorporated.
When I arrived here I thought
I might attempt to interview
Mr.. insult. But the more I
thought of the idea the less 1
liked it. After all, getting right
down to cases, he is actually one
of the most pitiful figures in the
world today. Formerly the pos
SCISSOR of one of the worlds
greatest fortunes, he enjoyed all
the happiness that money is
supposed to supply in life.
And now? Just another
American who isn't able to get
back home. Just another money
mad mortal who winds up no.
where. Just another old man
who clings to an unhappy life
while he waits for death.
No, the more I thought about
that interview the less wanted
to do it. The same thing hap
pened to me when I was in

Fantastic Yarns
Some of the yarns are amaz-
ing. Some are fantastic. And
others are downright laughable.
I had one man tell me in all
seriousness, for example, that
insult had carried $7,000,000 into
Greece in a battered suitcase.
didn't mind the suitcase, but
when he gave me the battered"
business, 1 knew he was a reader
of detective stories and let it go
at. that.
Another bird, anxious to sup
ply the American press with
firSt-hand details on a world
wide topic, drew me to one side
and supplied me with his story.
"I know what I'm talking
about, Mr.. Hellinger," he whis-
pered, land you can take the
information for what it is worth.
My information came from some
body so close to insult that it
can't be wrong. And this is
actually insults plan:
"He is going to develop Athens
into another New York. He is
going to show America that it
isn't the only pebble on the
beach. He is going to build sky
scrapers here that will dwarf
the Woolworth and the Empire
State buildings. And that is go
ing to be his revenge.
while this is going on, he is
going to turn Greece from a
poor country into a rich one.
His plans are so great that I
can't even repeat them all to
you. But he'll make them good.
Mark what I say.
Right now, insult is flying
money into Greece in airplane
after airplane. He has as much
money as he ever had in Amer
lea, and maybe more. And be-
fore he is through, he is going
to prove to his critics just what
fools thev are"

arrived with Betty Compton. I
knew the story was right in my
lap. I knew that Jimmy would
have talked to me frankly and
honestly, and I'm quite certain
that Betty would have done the
same.
Old Acquaintance
But what would any Of us
have gained? I've known Betty
since her name was Violet
Halling and she first came
down from Canada to Broad
way to play in the Mine O'Clock
Revue" There was nothing she
could have told me that I-or
the public-didn't know.
AS for Jimmy-well, Jimmy
will always be Jimmy to me.
He's a swell guy, and, if it
hadn't been for the depression
and his phoney friends, New
Yorkers would be cheering him
at this very moment. I blame
his so-called friends even more
than I do the depression be-
cause he never stopped fighting
for them even though they
meant his ruination. And the
moment he was down, how they
kicked him! But isn't that al
ways the way?
So now he's trying to find a
little happiness. It takes CUTS
to do it the way he's doing it
and even his enemies, 1 think,
admire him secretly. Oh, they
raise their hands in horror. of
course, but I can't help wonder
ing how many of them would
trade places if they were honest
with themselves.
What, then, could I have
written about Betty and Jimmy?
More gossip? More dirt for the
mud singers?
AS part of my duty, then, I
sent Jimmy a wire and asked if
he wanted to see me. I left
10 minutes after the wire had
been sent. I read in the Paris
Herald later that Jimmy and
Betty had come to my hotel
several hours later. I'm glad I
wasn't there.

Big-Shot Journalist

With Mr.. insult, however, I
wasn't quite so fortunate. It
seems that a journalist named
Parker occupies the room di-
rectly across the corridor from
me in this hotel. I don't know
Mr.. Parker's connections, but
he has now been i'll for some
time. And whether it's his
stomach or his connections, I
have no way of knowing.
At any rate, Mr.. Parker must
be a big shot in the journalistic
field because Samuel insult
takes the trouble to call upon
him several times a week. I'm
just across the way and Sammy
never even takes the trouble to
shove a card under my door.
Well, that just goes to show
you how much I mean.
This morning, just when I
had made up my mind not to
interview insult, I opened my
door to walk to the elevator
and out he came from Mr..
Parker's room. insult is a small
ish man, and he glances fur
lively around every now and
then. That was my only i'm
preston at the moment.
In silence, we walked down
the long corridor to the elevator.
I found myself in delicate sit
uation. AS a newspaper man,
the least I could do would be to
attempt to get some sort of
story. And as a lazy COM
mentator on nothing in particu-
lar, wanted to ignore him
completely.
We stepped into the elevator
together and, as we descended,
the newspaper man won the
argument. We stepped from
the elevator and I smiled at
the big man with the small
future.
