prayed that the movie stu.
dios would send out a lifeline.
I hoped that they would add a
derrick and landing net. Yet
in my widest dreams, it never
occurred to me that anyone
could climb to fame, be dropped
into obscurity, and again be
whirled to triumph greater than
any I had known in the heyday
of my former success. I had
been feeling like a regular
Jonah.
I didn't like the burning deck.
but I was afraid to jump lest q
whale should come along and
swallow me. But a miracle lay
ahead! This time Jonah was
going to swallow the whale!
ParadOXeS
OF course, I first had to catch
the whale. I'd been angling for
any small fry that might come
to the hook-a bite from a shin
er would have thrilled me at
this stage! But the cork sat on
the top of the water and even
nv angle-worm wasn't nibbled.
A fisherman doesn't feel dis
couraged if his bait is swallowed
though he doesn't land his fish.
To tempt a whales appetite 1t
seems you can't use the picked
minnoWs one sees in flashing
tackle windows nor the sardines
from delicatessen stores. More
over, few people fish for whales
so no one has bothered to write
a book on whale angling.
Then one day the bait for the
whale appeare d. Frances
Marion, who I think has contrib

20 other writer's, sent for me.
I could have a part-a part, at

offered $3.50 per week for eight
weeks to play the role Of the
Queen Mother in the stage yer.

Since these opportunities were
simultaneous it was a great
temptation to inform the pro-
ducers of the play that I was
through with the stage, but I
didn't. One can never tell what
form opportunity will take.

I was working again. No part
was too small, no gratitude was
too great for having been given
this chance. I was willing to
have all work and no play be-
cause it made lots Of jack and
I ould likewise write home to
my friends in the East that I
was in pictures.
Here's another detour! We all
do more for the good opinion
of our friends or the envy Of
our enemies than we do for
ourselves. Funny, isn't it?
Folks who have neither sever
est critics nor dearest enemies
sit on a park bench and don't

either friendly or unfriendly, to

rescued, you wouldn't exert
yourself beyond getting food and
shelter.

metaphors.
I may employ burning decks,
whales, acorns and Congress to
dress up my thoughts, but I use
them on the principle that if
you don't understand one, an
other might be more enlight-
ening, just as one of my great
theories of life is to go around
driving contact tacks-if one
goes in, fine and dandy, if
none goes in, that's all. right,

CHAPTER Nv.

Finally people began to in
qu1re when I was going back to
New York. This made me decide
to look permanent-so I leased
. house.
Now I had owned houses be-
fore. I bought place in the
rush of enthusiasm and extrav-
agance when I was making a lot
OF money in "Tillie'S Night
mare" How well I remember it!
The barn had sixteen stalls so
I bought sixteen COWS and I was
perfectly entranced with delight
when I received word that the
sixteen cows had made ninety
one dollars.
OF course, I got a. statement
later that it cost two hundred
and one dollars to make the
ninety-one, but no owner of an
estate ever bubbles over a de-
tail like that. It's not farmers
etiquette.
ventures
It was at that time that I
tried raising chickens that
wouldn't set, ducks that got
drowned and everything that
wouldn't grow.
The final straw was buying a
carload of hardy plants, which
turned out to be hardy, but not
foolhardy. / swore that would
never again have anything to do
with another house. The circum-
stances, however, were now diff
ferent, because any fool could
raise plants in California.
Usually one buys or builds a
house and starts garden. In
California you buy a garden
and hope there is a house
with it. Well, I saw a garden
and went mad. Luckily there
was q house on it with all
future improvements.
With a house on my hands
and no job in sight I was up
against it. Instead of the pic
tpre Of a determined woman
looking for work by roofing
myself in the soil, ironically
enough I gave the impression
of a jolly woman from the
East who was out there for
the sunshine and flowers.
I realized now that if were
actually starving to death and
told any of my friends the
sad fact, they would think I
was trying to be funny and
would pass me a caviar sand
wich while I was reaching for
cabbage.

was harder to bear than the
long hyphen Of nothing.to-do
which went before.
People kept writing me to ask
what my next picture was and
told me how they had followed
my films around from de luxe
house to where-were-they. Al

ALLOIS SCHWARTZ
 CABARET SOLOIST
German League Member to Sing at Party
 Tomorrow

Entertainment and dancing will be featured by the German Recre- ation League at their first public social, a cabaret and dance, at Concordia hall tomorrow night. The public will be admitted to the presentation, abolishing custom of conducting private entertain ments given of German societies. No special reservations will be made for the affair and those wishing to attend will have to ar- rive at an early hour to claim a table adjoining the space reserved for dancing.
 The event will bring night club life within the reach of everyone and those who like to hear their favorite numbers done in vocal ar rangement will hear them, perhaps with a bit of a German accent when Chairman Frank Kerner pre- sents Allois Schwartz as soloist. Schwartz, who has been a bright spot in his local bowling engage ments, will make his debut as a singer.
 In what appears to be an excel lent program, Mary and Robert Wagner, who have scored heavily at private gatherings, will be heard in duet numbers. MT and Mrs Edward Siebert have arranged d special program of songs, and Ce- lima Daughter will also be heard. Other numbers will be offered by George Suffa. -.
 A popular local orchestra will provide the music for dancing and activities will begin at S:30 o'clock. Refreshments will be served.

 Following is the article:
 'On Tuesday. November G.. election day. the Father Gen. eral. accompanied by the Father Vicar and two of our Friar Clerics, Frater Dennis Murphy. s. A. and Frater Eugene Figueroa. s. A.. made the annual pilgrimage to the grave of Brother Philip. T. s. A.
 According to the usual pro- gram the party from Cray moor was entertained at din- ner by MT and Mrs Edward Mahcr. Mr Maher being a nephew of John Reid. The Father General and Father Michael also called on the ad- ministrator of the mother church of Waterbury, the Church of the Immaculate Conception. to take counsel in regard to carrying into effect the long cherished purpose of establishing Catholic high school for boys in Waterbury. which. by the by, is probably the staunchest Catholic city. in the United States. the Catholic population being about eighty per cent.
 Nov that large number of our students from the priesthood are graduating from the Catholic university and being ordained. it seems possible that in the course of four or five years we might be able to undertake this very large and important task.
 "The Reid farm on the out skirts of the city. what re- mained of 1t. was deeded over to the Union -That-Nothing- Be-Lost before the death of Brother Philip. and we have , since recovered some twenty five acres which had been alienated, and added them to the tract. so that we have at Waterbury about the same number of acres that we have at The Vineyard Washing ton, D. c. It is well located and would make an admirable site for the Catholic high school proposed. We are rely ing upon the intercession of Brother Philip himself in the high court of Heaven to bring this to a happy consumma- tion."
