CHAPTER II

But the world wasn't his yet.
The great facilities of the
studio had been turned over to
him. The executives had conf
dence in him. But his name was
unknown to the world.
Robert Taylor realized then
that one of three things would
happen. He would fail, he would
succeed or he would join the
ranks of the mediocre. He de-
cided to Succeed-and redoubled
his efforts with Hinsdell, with
whom he was still associated.
Another studio borrowed him
for q small part in Handy
Andy" the star of which was
Will Rogers. It was an expert
ence which Bob will never forget,
working with the kindly star who
was always particularly friendly
to beginners.
Works Harder
The next picture to which he
was assigned was There's Always
Tomorrow" and later came Sc
ries in which he played called
Crime Doesn't Pay" In all OF
these parts he was satisfactory
but unSpectacular. Encouraged,
he continued to study and to
work even harder.
One by one, each lesson in act
ing, each bringing him nearer his
goal, the pictures came. wicked
Woman" with Mady Christians;
Murder in the Fleet" with Jean
Parker; "West Point of the Air"
and, finally, Society Doctor"
It was rather curious that the
boy was chosen for the part. In
his mind was indelibly stamped
the picture of the young inferno
he had planned to become. He had
seen himself a million times follow
ing in the footsteps of his father,
wearing the white gown, bringing
relief to suffering humanity. 1t
was a role he fancied, though he
never believed he could give it the
skill in real life his father lad.
Now, as the studio executives
read the play, they saw Robert
Taylor as the serious young in
terne. Chester Morris and Vir-
ginia Bruce were chosen for the
leads, but the part of the inferno
was a real plum for a struggling
young actor. Could he do it?
They thought. perhaps-with the
proper coaching. They assigned
him.
Puts Soul in Role
The director sat with folded
hands while the boy played the
role Into it he put his entire soul.
It was part made for him in
spired by the memory of his father
who had thrown away fame and
fortune to become doctor so that
he could save the life of the woman
he loved.
Society Doctor" brought Robert
Taylor to the attention of the
world. Since then he has risen so
swiftly it is almost impossible to
plot his course. Fame burst like
mighty rocket and blinded not
only the boy himself but his
friends, his fellow-workerS, the
studio executives, the world.
Small Scene
The great creator of stars, the
public itself, had recognized in the
grave young inferno in the picture
what Louis B. Mayer had seen
when he first observed the screen
test. From a dozen or two letters,
the mail of Robert Taylor in
creased by the hundreds until it
had to be delivered in canvas sacks.
Overnight the boy from Filley
was sensation. No star in the
history of the screen had risen so
swiftly as Robert Taylor.
But the entire role he played
in Society Doctor" wasn't the de-
Gliding factor of his success. It
was one small scene from that role,
and for that one scene the world
decided to award him it's laurels.
Here is the severe, stark white

Around und About
By FLOYD L. EASTER

Well, this week, think that all
parents, guardians and whatnots,
should attend all the games, plays,
dances and especially parent-teach-
er meetings sponsored by local edu-
cational institutions. A little in
terest shown in the actions of the
schools, and especially if your child
is student sometimes makes the
difference between a successful
school year, and a failure. Have
you ever had part in game or play,
and looked out into the crowd and
found that your mother, or father
or any relative is watching you?
Didn't you, from then on, try to do
just the right thing, or play a bit
harder, so that she would be proud
to say that her boy had that part,
or made that touchdown? Students
are quick to get the idea that if
father doesn't care whether l make
a high grade or not, / don't either!
I've felt that way. I distinctly re-
member having a part in the play,
"Who Wouldn't Be Crazy" and up
on seeing "the folks" walk into
the auditorium, decided to do every
thing just right, or a trifle better
if possible. The play was a success;
and Pm not saying that my acting
made it success, but l can say
that I did my part, inspired by the
presence of friends and relatives.
Your own boy, in all probability,
feels the same way. Support him,
and he'll support you, with high
& grades: and a scholarship record

for everything to run along smooth
ly and serenely for too long time.
Anyway, if the next war is any,
thing like H. G.. Wells thinks it's
going to be (the complete destruc-
ton of the entire world) I hope
I'm in Mars when the profiteers
think that we have had peace too
long. Or, at least, not at home.
Heigh no!

"Cosmopolitans," written by w.
Somertes Vaughan: Sometimes
we are inclined to nominate Mr..
Vaughan as the most readable
author of our time. He explains
that the title of this volume of short
stories is accounted for by the fact
that they all first appeared in the
Cosmopolitan Magazine under the
editorship of the late Ray Long.
Mr.. Long deliberately asked Mr..
Vaughan to supply a series Of
tales which could be printed entire
on two facing pages of the maya
zine, with a spirited illustration
and without asking the reader to
please turn to page one-hundrer-
and-something in the advertising
section. Mr.. Vaughan, shrewd and
experienced observer of the human
panorama, turned to his notes Of
travel and intuition. He found, as
he had done in a previous book
that whether in journeys in the Far
East or in the grill rooms of London
hotels, he had seen many people
whose heroisms or absurdities,
glimpsed in passing, presented
substantial and interesting mater
ial for short stories.
Those little tales, delightful ex-
periments in. brevity, are all the
more stimulating because they are
not too brutally forced into the
framework of the plot. Often they

of actuality. This is a book not

eral easy evenings. Any one of
the stories could have been ex-
panded into a full-length novel,
but the reader relishes them for the
pleasure of celebrating them fur
cher in his own mind. My own
favorite, perhaps, is the pungent
episode of the two madams in
Mexico City, proprietors of houses
of convenience, who found the seek
ers of easy divorce from the u. s..
such a dangerous competition.
This is delightful entertainment;
which, as Mr.. Vaughan says, is
fiction's true aim!

Windsor
Chair Old
Favorite
Graceful De S i G n
Adapts It for Use
With Any Period.
BY ISABEL TAVENNER.

THE Windsor is one type of chair
= which can safely be used with
almost any scheme Of decoration. 1t
fits in without clashing with any OF
the period types of furnishing and
does not create q jarring note when
used in a modern setting. While most
of us think of the Windsor as being
a typical early American design. 1t
really originated in England. There
Is some doubt as to its actual origin,
but an interesting legend which may
or may not have its conception in fact
tells us that George II while hunting
near Windsor stopped in a poor mans
cottage and saw there chair which
impressed him because 1t was grace
full and at the same time comfortable.
So well he liked the chair that he had
one made for his palace, calling it his
Windsor chair.
While 1t Is of record that many OF
these graceful chairs used in America
in the early days were sent over from
England, it is equally true that they
were made in large numbers by wood
workers among the Colonists. The
lovely open porch facing the river at
Mount Vernon boasted IA of these
chairs during Washington's time.
Washington imported so many OF the
things he used from the mother coun-
try, we presume these chairs were OF
English make. In fact, among his
papers has been found a copy Of an
order to his British agent asking him
to procure a number of chairs "as
those Of domestic manufacture are
not strong enough for ordinary sit
ting" History tells US also that JEFF
ferson wrote the Declaration OF In
dependence seated in Windsor chair
with q writing shelf attachment on
one arm.
The design of the Windsor chair
allows for more variations IN construc-
ton than perhaps any other piece OF
furniture, the various ways in which
the spindles spread causing entirely
different shapes, rounded back or
straight hoop back, fan back or with
an extra set Of spindles added above
the back proper making the comb back.
But with all these variations in the
form of the back, almost without ex-
ception Windsors are made with
wooden saddle seats and turned legs.
This combination gives an appear
ance Of lightness, yet makes an ex-
ceptionally strong chair.
If you can count among the treas
ures of your household an antique
Windsor, be duly gratified. but for
utilitarian purposes q well made mod
ern one. viii prove Just as useful.

RIGHT after you've been reading
about Ex-King Edwards daily
floral tribute to American womanhood,
it's pretty disastrous to your ago sud-
denly to hear the sound of your escorts
voice, shouting from the taxi window
to a street vender, ''What1l you take
for a couple of gardenias?"
1t practically makes you want to
gnaw your flngernails. Especially If
you are dressed in white satin and
pink brocade and are headed for the
opera. You'd just as soon be pre-
sented with bag of peanuts during
1solde's love death.
It's hard to know what to do, too,
for you hate to discourage even the
most primitive forms of chivalry.
Usually a girl thinks gardenias from
q street vender are fun on luncheon
date or walk around the park. But
in the evening they are terrific let
down.
You can, to be sure, suggest to the
boy friend that he put them in his
pocket and keep them until tomor-
row-because they'll go much better
with your suit. That might hold him
the next time. At least you can al
ways hope.

Preparation.

BY ANGELO PATRI.
1T Is time to prepare for Christmas.
The years shadows are lengthen-
ing and soon we will light the candles
to brighten Christmas eve, and to
welcome the coming of the New Year
and the returning sun. Time now to
begin.
Christmas is a children's festival.
Much as we older ones enjoy the
color and fragrance, the lights and
the memories that are Christmas, the
children enjoy them more. We who
are getting older have to find most
of our Christmas JOY in making it
for children. The more Of them the
better, for numbers increase the
spread Of hilarity and the warmth
of good cheer.
Some of the gifts can be bought,
some must be made. An early start
on both is going to be great help.
Do try to give each child one thing
that is sheer luxury of the spirit.
One useful thing, one to feed the
body, one to feed the soul, and after
that, anything that will make glad
child gladder will do.
1t is very important that children
share in the Christmas preparation.
II the house is to be decorated-and
why not?-they can have hand in
it. If they can make garlands and
wreaths, so much the better. In the
country where I like to 60 for
Christmas, the doors are dressed with
ropes and garlands and wreaths.
sprinkled with glittering cones. The
children are busy for weeks before.
getting this ready. They put up as
much of it as they can alone and
some grown up person puts in the
last tacks and ties the red bows. This
preparation keeps them out of the
way many busy afternoons.
Making the cakes and cookies offers
them a pleasant job. They get the
fruit ready for the cake, beat eggs,
shell nuts, eat the first samples as
they come from the oven. That's all
in the Christmas program.
Then there are the old carols to
practice. Nothing gives handful Of
youngsters so much fun as dressing
up as waits and trudging out to carol
bl!thely as possible under a neighbor's S
lighted window. The memory OF crisp
snow crunching underfoot is some-
thing to be cherished in old age.
Making gifts goes on merrily and
in secret. Children ought to know
that a gift made by their own hands
pleases more than one they buy. Their
hands put something Of themselves
into the gift, but their pocket money
is hard put to it to get anything
beyond the material thing. A child
cannot put personal feeling. labor,
sacrifice in terms Of money and goods
as grown people can, which is not
bad for the Christmas spirit. Older
children can approach it. but even
they would do better with the work
of their hands.
And while all these preparations
for a glad Christmas are on the way
don't forget to prepare the most i'm
portant background of the spirit.
