NOW CO. ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XII

The room had been whirling
around Boots. Now it righted it.
self again and she was herself
pale, tired, q little shabby, in
her old blue hat, her fingers lock-
ed around an armful OF bun
dies. She was in the doorway of
| the living room with its Chinese
ginger jars and its faded rug
and Denis Fcnway was staring
at her.
'1'm at Lols's for Christmas, "
he said easily. "They went over
to hear the carols and ! took
a walk and thought I'd drop in
for a minute. :"
"Stay and have a bite Of sup
per with Barbara" her mother
urged cordially. Its just baked
beans and cole slaw and tea.
He was taking the bundles
from her now. His lean hands
took the coat from her shout
ders. He was following her into
the dining room, where the cloth
blazed Whitley under the domed
and lozenged center fiXutre.
Boots was in a daze. She moved
and spoke and laughed in it. To
have him here, in this warmth
and shabbiness and LONELINESS
was the sheerest ecstacy. She
might as well enjoy it while she
could. Later, after he had gone,
the knife might twist in her
heart. But for the present the
food she ate was ambrosia, the
jokes they all made were tri-
'umphs OF rare wit. She was nei-
ther conscious of WEAKNESS nor
the passage of time.
Every time Denis glanced IN
her direction, every time his low
laugh rang out she was conscious
of a wave of pure happiness
washing over her like tide. This
was being alive-to be aware OF
every syllable, every lightest
glance and infection.
"More salad?" Her mothers
look EMBODIED her. The girl lean
ed back with long sigh.
ooh, | couldn't. I've had SC
much. 1t was all so good and ]

Denis glanced at her sidewisc

fairly glowcd.

She flushed, glancing away.
"Thnk so? Thanks. BY the way

you for giving me that chance

He waved a careless hand. Il

Happiness, happiness, washing
over her, flooding her very be-
ing. 81 knew you'd suit HIM.

compliment, to be sure, but the
words glittered in her mind; she
treasured them.
"Why don't you put me OUT
Denis drawled a few moments
later when, established i'll deep
chairs before the fire Miss Flor
ida had laid with painstaking
hands, they faced each other.
"Barging in here on Christmas
Eve - it's inexcusable. And you
have things to do, haven't you?"
If she had, she had forgotten
them all. Make him stay little
while, God, she prayed in her
heart. I've had so little of him,

of Delta Phi Epsilon. oldest foreign

ness session of a three-day conven-
ton here yesterday.
During the last year Dr. Donaldson

dent He succeeds DR.. William F.

Service of Georgetown University,
who served four years.
Other officers elected were Norman

parts-and that as soon as picture
is done he and Mrs. Gable head for
the mountains, where it's cool, and
where they can fish. and where in
the Winter they can skate and snow
shoe and Whatnot.
And by the way, he says, I don't
want to go back to the stage. No sir.
Go back there and let you newspaper
guys sharpen your pencils waiting for
me? Not on your life. No I'm out
here to stay I like it-plenty. Those
people who say they must get back to
Broadway are talking lot of bolony.
They say that. But they don't mean
it. Pictures are plenty good enough
for me"
Between "shots" Gable goes outside
to cool off You can see him during
the filming of any picture standing
just outside the door getting little
fresh oxygen.
Later that day We have one of the
surprises of our life. Walking along
the M-G-M thoroughfare, we suddenly
come upon a familiar looking man In
a light brown suit. light shoes and
with thick black hair and a moon
shaped face.
This is Mr.. Weis," or it may have
been We'll, says Paul Smell, intro
ducing him. Alias Mala."
Evening star., 1934-06-25

Remember Mala-the great hunter
in Eskimo" which played at the Pal
ace back few months? Well, here is
he, walking around the lot with a
pleased expression on his face because
he has just won some kind of squash
tournament. But somehow he seems
a long way from Eskimo land and he
resembles himself only family as he
was in that frozen North epic.
He's been around the studio about a
year. Yes, he's real Eskimo, or at
least three-quarters, we find. He was
born and schooled in Alaska. But as
to his having been found up there
we'll. we doubt that. Somehow his
English is very good, his clothes sit
very we'll on him and he looks as
though he knew his way around Hol-
lyWood.
Far from Mala, at the Warner Bros. ,
studios we find Dance Director Buzz
Berkeley putting about hundred
nifties through a giant dance sequence
which will be fitted into Danes
the Ruby Keeler-Dick Powell musical.
Mr. Berkeley has them all draped
around a kind of a wheel, with stairs
running here and there, and a floor
under it which gives that double re-
fiection which is used so successfully
in Warner Bros. films. The girls work
like thunder-and Berkeley works like
lightning. His manipulation Of these
dance sequences is really extraordi-
nary.
From there we progress on to THE
Lady Surrenders" set and have nice
talk with George Brent and Jean
Muir. The former asks particularly
after the Kellys, and tells us that he
used to have tea every afternoon with
Loretta Young at that Mill tea house
In the park-and that nobody ever
saw them there Miss Muir seems very
gentle and sweet. But she's not as
good looking as we had anticipated.
And, oh yes-we forgot to record
our last nights dinner with Maxine
Doyle. Maxine lives way out on
Laurel Canyon (Which is meant to
have some sort of a jinx connected
with it, and before dinner We were
shown a great many pictures Of Owen
