CHAPTER FIVE

EOR several days following Royal
l. Nesbitt'S visit, Julia was buoyed
ny the thought of his unmistakable
enthusiasm for her singing. And
Amy assured her continuously that
Nesbitt's influence was wide-and
that he never made promise idly.
But week went by, then another.
and she heard nothing more from
Nesbltt. He did not visit Amy, and
Jullas roommate had to admit that
he hadn't telephoned the shop since
the night he had said, "You can 90
places, Julia. I'm going to see that
you do"
I'm afraid he was just being nice
to me, because he likes you." Julia
told Amy.
Don't you believe it. You'll hear
something from him when Won
least expect it. I wouldn't be sur
prlsed if he calls up any day now
and says he has a tryout arranged
for you"
Julia laughed, but not too hap-
PLY. I'm sure you're the most in
durable optimist in the world Amvl"
When another week went by and
she did not hear from Nesbitt She
was sure she never would. He had

QUT nevertheless she held stout

with Henri Lamb had served onlv to
bring out certain stubborn
strength in her.
Too, she wanted terribly to show
Peter Kemp that such an effortless
trick as he had played on her was
lot nearly enough to discourage her
IN the ambition to become a singer
in a night club.
The bitterness was in feeling da.
feat before she could even begin
She thought of applying at some
OF the entertainment agencies but
she pictured in her mind an ogre of
an agent, dark and cynical, VINO
would demand to know if she'd had
experience. And laugh when she
said she hadn't.
One night after work she did
muster the courage to try one of the
radio stations. The man who hired
the talent" was courteous enough
but he showed Julia waiting list
which looked like a page from the
city directory.
He told her, too, that as an un-
known and untried singer she might
nave to suffer period of anonym-
ity even when she got her chance.
Then he told her something more
you're too charming girl to hide
yourself unseen on a radio pro-

Woodford G. Brooks. is ambitious to
become a night club singer. Julia shares

went ahead to defeat Frank Jud-
