Guion began telling himself that the
boy was calmed down now enough to

1t was dark at the blind end of
Theron Street. Only starlight was in
it. The man and boy walked down to
the brick wall that kept out the bayou
in high-water times.
Guion could not see the bayou but
he could hear it. All his life he'd been
hearing it, all his life except the five
lost years. Now he was listening with
all Of himself to make up for them.
Timeless, the old stream rippled and
purled down there. smoothing over
and burying the lost years, and Guion
did not feel the ache of them any

Back at the open end of the street

She loved Paul Bern. Innocent of
design, she did not need him to
further her career.
Jean was youth to him. He fasci-
mated her with his poise - his knowl-
edge of art, literature and the world.
He deluged her with flowers and costly
presents.
Super-sensitive, a victim of acute
melancholia, he was, during the last
phase, a mentally i'll man who sought
to avoid the ogre of futility that pur-

When Jean was unable to bear the
aching loneliness longer. her mother
took her to Marie Dressler.

I'm not let them forget you"
Marie assured her.
During this time, fast moving gang
ster films became the vogue. One was
being cast in which Wallace Beery
and a rising young player named
Clark Gable were to be co-starred.
The associate producer was Paul
Bern, the most beloved and in many
respects the greatest man in Holly
wood. Marie Dressler called at his
office.
Unknown to either, destiny was also
in the room. ''She only needs one
thing" explained Marie - ''let her
change from platinum blonde"
The interview was over.
Jean Harlow was signed as the
dynamic young woman opposite Gable
and Beery.
Lifting her role above the tawdry.
she gave it allure and abandon. With
Gable about at the peak of his
career, and Beery more forceful than
usual. the film became one of the
most popular of the year.

she was listed among the four leading
"box-office players" in the cinema
world. She has since developed as an
actress.
As she acquires polish and poise, an
effort will be made to cast her in more
subtle roles. Still capable of develop
ment, she has yet to fail in any role
assigned her.
Bern became, as he was to all in the
cinema city, her friend and adviser.
After three years they were married.
He gave her his beautiful hillside
home as wedding gift.
Jean was immensely proud of her
husband. One of nineteen children
