in reposefl sleep pointed up the
lwistfulness that had made it
famous on the screen. Z
She looked at him tenderly with
the lump that always rose in her
throat when she saw him un-
guarded in sleep. She remembered
that Russell Bede had said he
wanted her. Joel had said he
needed her. She was close then to
knowing the thing that had bound
them together from the beginning,
the age old appeal that was great
er in her heart than any other.
If only those peaceful, confident
emotions and that knowledge could
have stayed with her! But there
was the business of living a thou
sand emotions a day, following the
ordinary routine of social and pro-
fessional life.
| The autumn and winter wore ON
and another spring came again
after Russell Bede had left, leav.-
ing Janet with little nerve ends
newly sensitive to the life around
her, to the dangers that threat
ened her and Joel. She had been
aware Of them before but they
had been kept in the back of her
mind.
With the passing Of those
m n h S, she was increasingly
aware Of the strong pull Of studio
life and studio associations that
were giving her less and less Of
JoeTs time. She was aware Of his
brief infatuation for his leading
lady and his not-so-brief-one for
another girl who had recently
joined the film colony as a writer.
She thought: know that
this will work out all right be-
cause the others always have.
|But-and the word BUT was big
in her mind-this can't go on for
ever. This bridge will widen the
distance between us until I will
always be conscious of It and then
I will be just habit with Joel.
She was conscious that he no
longer cared about art at all. He
was satisfied, perfectly satisfied
with his life and utter satisfaction
was ruinouS. D
At last she began to cast about
to the manipulation, she once had
spoken about to Russell Bede, that
was quickly fading. e
She resolved to get Joel out of
Hollywood. And she thought she
had found the way when she heard
that three of the leading film stars
were DESERVING the screen for u
season on the legitimate stage.
She knew the weakness in Joels
arnaor and she proceeded to work
en- it.

wondered why she loved him or
what he had ever deserved to have
the one girl in the world for his
wife.
He tried to do it in another way.
His first thought was for her when
he had money. His greatest pleas
ure was to buy her luxurious gifts
which he always felt were yet not
enough. There was no question in
his mind about being faithful to
her. He was married to her-he
had never wanted to be married
and she knew that. 1t was true
that he found other women attrac-
tive, that he fed upon their flattery
and that he had no intentions of
foregoing it. But it never occurred
to him that he might cause Janet
any pain or that she might not be
able to read his mind.
Manlike, he gave no thought to
the eventual outcome of their mar
riage. They were married and
that was that. They were happy,
loved each other, lived without
worries and in harmony. They
were companions. They accepted
each other. He didn't know that
women do not take those things
for granted and Janet didn't know
that he did.
If she had tried to talk to him
about their tomorroWs, he would
have laughed them off, been sur
prised and probably hurt by any
thought she might have that the
ties between them were not strong
enough. He foresaw no barriers
against the future and no dangers
in the present.
His momentary anger had not
been jealousy of a romantic nature
the night that he had come upon
Janet and Russell Bede on the ter
race. He had been angry because
he had heard Russell Bede say,
This Will be secret between u.s."
It didn't occur to him for a moment
that it was anything but an inno-
cent secret. Yet he hadn't liked
Janet to give even that much Of
herself.
And then he had forgotten all
about the incident.
Forgetting was easy to JOEL
He had forgotten that Janet had
been upset about Caroie Griest and
that red-headed girl. 1t didn't
seem possible to him, or wouldn't
if he had known that Janet was
jealous Of Nina. All OF Janet's
talk on another occasion about
jealousy, he had accepted as some
thing she had heard about and
never experienced
His little Janet was really a
baby!

sion lead up to-" he asked affec-
tiOnately. Am 1 to be the irate

older friend told me not to man.

velvet glove. No man has since
seen anything except the velvet
glove but the hand is iron within.

your happiness. IF I have said too
much, forgive me-"
"Of course, I forgive you," she
said and was grateful that the
lights Of the harbor were nearing.
"The question will still be there
if you ever change your mind,
Janet. I'm going east tomorrow
but I'm not going out of your life.
I will always be there if you ever
need me-"
Perhaps I will some day." she
said, and little realized that she
would.
She tried to forget the things
that he said to her that night but
they came back one by one bring
ing anger at his daring, anger that
was softened because she knew
that he loved her and that she
should never have let him.

PoLT.S

Starting todayis Loew,s Poli is the fastest and funniest laugh-hit that Laurel and Hardy have ever made, way Out West"
 In this film they are not por- trayed as bronco busting cowboys bold-instead they are just a pair of "tenderheel" desert miners trying 10 do a good dead for a dead prospector "pard." But they are in . locale of the good old wild and woolly gay sos, surrounded by mounted cow- hands, stage coaches and all the tough hombres and picturesque ate mosphere of the glamorous and ad- venturesque pioneer times.
 The set-up Is a natural for the uproarious antics of Stan and Oils. They blunder in delivering the deed to the gold mine to the honky tonk queen instead of the daughter of the prospector and there's . riot of fun as they romp through a series of exciting misdeeds in retaining the deed. N
 Dinah, a seventeen-year-old ed- ucated burro, kicks up a lot of laughs and Laurel and Hardy them selves do some kicking in their ver- sion of swing dance and burst into song that proves hilarious high light. New gags are deftly intro duced to add to the tempo and ac- tion of the production.
 "Way Out West" has 8 tuneful musical background reminiscent 0f the gay 9O's. Sharon Lynne, clever ly carrying the feminine lead, IS impressive as the honky tonk night ingale and has a most amusing old time gal chorus. The Avalon Four, singers and instrumentalists, score hit with their number.
 James Finlayson, always a favorite comic with Laurel and Hardy, gives an outstanding performance and special mention is merited by Rosina Lawrence and Stanley Fields of the fine supporting cast.
 Mighty as @ novel! Mightier on the screen! Loew's Poli presents as the companion feature on this pro- gram Albert Payson Perfumes fa- nous story of boy, girl and a dog-"The Might Trove" with Noah Beery, Jr. and Barbara Read.
