"Ill gol" She went quickly.
Just as she reached the door a
great shout went up. The Feds were
up and Terry felt sure the shout
meant a run for them. Pietro came
forward and put his hand on Terry -
arm.
Don't you want to see the game?"
he asked.
They crouched down at the end
of a concrete runway near the dug
out. 1t was the last half OF the
seventh. The score was still tied,
to g. AS they watched a roar went
up from the crowd. The loudSpeak-
ers were bleating out the news that
Doyle was going in for Potts as short
stop. The crowd was tickled to
death. In the short time Larry had
been at Washington he had won
the Hearts of the fans by his bang
up base ball.

through her tears, but it was too
much and she broke down and wept.

Terry said to Kelly. He turned to
Frances as Kelly hurried away.
Where is Alice? Does she know I'm
all right?"
"She knows you are safe. Kelly
wouldn't let her come in. He was
afraid they might be suspicious. Shes

GO to her. Tell her I'm all right

Frances wiped her eyes. 'Ive been

Frances said hopefully. IF the Blues
can take the next three games, the

"All right" He strode out of the
room. Frances watched him go and
wiped the tears from her eyes. She
turned to face Larry and he swept
her into his arms. He kissed her eyes
and mouth and whispered, "I'll love
you always" and dashed away.

and held back her tears.

about her tenderly. He had wanted
to spare her that pain.
"But, Larry" she said hopelesSly.
Frances" Larry pleaded, don't say
it like that Please. I thought you
would stand with me always"
I'm with you" she said after a mo-
ment, "only I don't want to lose you.
Larry, why must it be you?"
Because he's a real base ball man"
Pop said, and there was ring of pride
in his voice and understanding.
We'll, then, that's settled" Terry
said. What is the scorer"
''Three-three Gamer answered.
And the Blues are playing the best
ball they have played all season"
But the Feds have got to win,"
Terry said. He turned to Kelly.
Did you tell Pop of his part in the
scheme?"
He did," Pop said quietly, "and I
won't do it. l won't throw my men
down at this stage of the game"
He stamped his foot down on the
wooden floor.
But" Terry objected. "ThiS isn't
a question of throwing down your
men. If these crooks get away with
it now, base ball will never be clean
sport again"
Me be a fixer! Me, the man who
fought for clean sport all his hfe!"
Dad" Frances went to him and
put her hands on his shoulders and
Terry is right The thing he is
asking of you is big thing, a great
thing, and he is asking you to do it
because you have been a clean fighter
through the years. You can ease up
this game. You can hold the men
back so that the Feds will take the
lead. Think of Larry, think of me!
He is willing to risk his life out there
because he feels something bigger
than himself. I'm risking my hap
piness for the rest of my life when
Larry goes out on the field today. I'm
not doing 1t because it is fine or big.
I'm doing it for selfish reasons. Larry
means life and happiness to me. II
1 don't stand behind him now, II
don't send him back into the game
with smile on my lips, I'll lose him"
Frances"
Don't say anything, Larry. I've
learned a lot in these last few min
utes. I know what it means to be a
woman" She turned again to her
father. dad, say you will hold the
team back. You want these mur-
derers caught, don't you?"
"Of course I do. But, Frances,
can't be fixer. I can't do til"
III give up Larry, Dad, if you will
do it. I'll promise never to see him
again. I'll stay with you always"
Il couldn't let you make such a
promise" Pop said, and his eyes were

While the announcement was being
made Terry saw Pop Clark 60 out
on the pitching mound. He waved
the catcher close and the pitcher
Joined the confab.
The game started again and Terry
saw that Pop Clark's trip out to
the pitching box hadn't been fruit
less. The Blues pitcher was tossing
them up without a thing on the
ball. The Feds were a little slow
in getting onto the fact and then
they started to connect. They belted
the ball all over the lot. But, try
as they would, they got only couple
of runs for their pains.
In the Blues half Of the eighth
1t was easy. The boys went down,
one, two, three. Again Terry thrilled
as he realized that Pop must have
passed the word around.
Then the Feds came to bat again.
With one out and two on, Larry

Doyle came to bat. A loud cheer
went up. He quickly responded by
hopping on a fast one and lining
a screaming single down the third
base line. Another run crossed the
plate. There was another wild cheer.
Larry was taking a long lead of
first, ready to steal second, when a
shout of surprise echoed through the
stands. Hands were pointing into
the air and the action of the game

park was looking into the sky. Terry
stood up. A pigeon was circling over
the field. 1t was the missing bird.
Pietro stood up and craned his neck

style secret of the movie year.
Every one Of Adrian's designs
is sensational, but the four out
standing creations are the king

Here they are, described in de-
tail, and by Adrian himself:
The "king Of hearts" hat: A
square box, made of brown velvet,
with no brim. Worn square on
head and far to the front.
The tailcoat evening dress: A
silver lame coat, with wide black
velvet lapelS on a silver lame
bodice-has split tails Qike a

to the kneeS-worn with a black
velvet skirt, Of floor length and
split to the knee in front.
The Fragonard negligee: White
velvet princesSe frock with large
period sleeves of crimson velvet
the high neckline circled with
flat braided white band-the gir-
die of the same material that ties
at the waist. Over this Is worn
a sleeveless coat that comes to
the floor, swinging back from
the neckline in folds that cover
the train of the frock.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "SELLNG STAGE AND MOTION PICTURES
Interesting Facts
On Chorus Men
Revealed

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 81.
With the revival Of musical pic
lures, the chorus man is becoming
as permanent an institution in
Hollywood as he used to be on
Broadway. There are, it appears,
, hundrsd of them, actual or poten-
tial. When ever song-and-dance
film is in preparation applicants
appear in droveS to be enrolled
as gentlemen of the ensemble" i"
During the recent filming Of
wonder Bar" which First Ma
tional is releasing, some statistics
were gathered from 110 young
men who will assist the efforts
Of 800 much more prominently
featured girls in Busby Berkeley'S
! musical numbers.
Average 23 Years Old
According to the studio stat
iSticians, the figures work out to
an average age of % years for
the wonder Bar" chorus men,
who, on the same basis, is 5 feet
II inches tall and weighs 169
pounds. Every State in the
Union with one exception, Flor
ida, was represented among their
number. Two Of them came
from Alaska, but, it is explained,
they are not Eskimos.
One of the wonder Barr choriS-
ters is the son of the former gov
ernor of an Eastern State. Others
have been clerks, gas-station at
tendants, soda-jerkers and sales
men. OF the 10, no less than So
are devoting their entire time to
their careers as chorus men.
TWenty-nine of them are college
men, of whom nine won varsity
letters in various forms of ath-
letics. All of them, of course, can
dance, but it was learned That
only Al had ever taken systematic
dancing instruction with a view
to its use on stage or screen. The
rest just picked it up at one time
or another.
Several Are Fathers
The married men among them
are 38 in number, and 16 are
fathers. Most of the subjects Of
investigation declared that they
were serious in their work and am
bilious of rising to greater heights
but 18 confessed that they are
chorus men mainly for the excite

ferences between legitimate stage
and motion picture exploitation,
were awakened by Mr.. Andrew
Kelley's statement published last
Friday that I had definitely
"gone movie" through my present
visit to Washington in charge Of
arrangements for the world pre-
miere of Columbia Picture Cor
poration's production, "No Great
er Glory at the Metropolitan
Theater today.
The Difference
One wonders what the great diff
ference between legitimate theater
exploitation and motion picture
exploitation may be, after all, and
finds ready answer in a telegraphic
newspaper item describing the un'
fortunate scene at the funeral of
Lillian Tashman in New York last
Friday.
It lies in selectivity of those to
be reached and influenced on the
one hand, and universally of ap-
proach on the other. The prices
charged for legitimate stage shows
narrowS down the expected Glen
tele; the character of the attrac-
ton automatically brings a fur
ther limitation. Hence the pub
licist'S attack is directed solely
toward the group in our social
strata that may reasonably be ex-
pected to constitute potential
ticket buyers.
This view is reversed in exploit
ing pictures. Any film production
that fails to interest the general
public may be marked down q
failure, regardless of its artistic
and technical excellence. Produc-
er'S financial returns are not
garnered in the great cities as is
the case with legitimate stage Of
feringS. There are few Washing
tons, and many hamletS. The
collective receipts of the latter are
of far greater Importance than
revenues from New York and the
Capital City.
Consequent to this, and also due
to the democratic character of
picture entertainment, and more
particularly picture audiences, the
appeal made in selling pictures to
the public is aimed at the most
elementary human qualities. The
general public grows to regard
certain popular artists as its very
own property on the theory ex-
pressed by the troublesome auto
graph-hunting woman at the
TaShman funeral, "our money
makes m and our support keeps
'em at the top, and they've got
to let us in"
Closer Relations
The man handling q dramatic
offering on Broadway, or here
in Washington, has no thought
of influencing any save those to
whom the psychology of the play
is directed. The picture appeal
must be made, alike. to scrub
woman and to bank president
and to all lying between those
widely separated spheres.
The trend of the hour is such
that I believe before long a very
large proportion of the subjects
selected for. film production will
be submitted in stage form to 6
paying public for similar reac
ton, not only in New York but
through touring to varying types
Of cities.
If this comes it will bring
stage and screen into closer re
lation, making them practically
one and will eliminate many oi
the least desirable features oi
film exploitation, more especially
those originating with exhibitors
and dictaed by the latter to the
industry aS o whole.

Sherry took out little pocket
flash and stood there, reading
it-drinking up the words as
though they were life.
He turned his back, covering
his face with his hands. When
he flung away from her and
went with a long, half-running
stride over the hills, Pippin was

They reached a fence, where
both of them leaned, exhausted.
Their young, harried faces were
gaunt in the moonlight.
Pippin touched his arm.
Sherry looked down at her, all
the youth of him mutilated.
"You can't say anything to me,
Pippin. It's just as though I
stood at that rail. Just as though
I lifted her in my arms and
pitched her into the sea.

to feel that way"
