I was in the picture version of

the stage I sang II Get a Kick
Out of You" with no other seem
cry but Billy Gaxton; but the
movies do things differently.
found myself singing the same
song on huge Neon moon which
swung over the heads of the
patrons of a large night club.
Just that colossal" intimate
touch!
Vinton Freedley came out to
Hollywood again to fetch me for

out the show in Boston, and a
couple of new songs were added at
the last minute.
And now I'm back home at the

work with, and Broadway looks

les too well to be impressed by
anything that claims to be a pure,
high energy, low calorie food"
Galleries are energy, and food
cannot be any higher in energy
than the number of calories it
contains.
However, there are reducers'
foods which make Slimming easier
by the trick of giving you some
thing to eat for practically no
calorieS. It's magic, that's what
it is! These commercial foods
have a legitimate place in the re-
ducer's diet, being purpoSely pre-
pared to take the edge off your
appetite without supplying many
calories.
So-caIed "reducerS' foods" make
excellent filters; so, If you are still
hungry on your reduced quota Of
1000 to 1900 calorieS per day,
supplement the menus with one of
these calorie cheaters. You can
choose from any number of gluten
biscuits, low-starch breads. rye
biscuits, and bran waters.
Nature supplies an abundance
of fruits and vegetables which are
high in vitamins and low in
calories, seemingly made to order
fer the reducer. You can eat all
the celery, lettuce, tomatoes and
spinach you wish and still keep
your caIories on the losing side.
hate to disillusion you, but
grapefruit is not reducing, either.
Being high in Vitamin C, it is an
excellent food in any diet, and
being low in calories, it is particu-
larly valuable in the reducer'S
menu.
Lemons, pickles and any other
of the vinegary viands will not
make you thin-unlesS you eat
enough to upset your digestion.
No food is reducing"
Take the appetite test if you are
still hungry at the end of a low
calorie meal, and help yourself to
celery, fruit, or some other low
calorie food. When all you really

We had a merry time that night,

After "Girl Crazy" closed I re-

The following summer made
my first trip to the Coast. Lou

a clause inserted in the contract
which read that any songs re-

Lou put this clause in more on
hunch than anything else. Yet
sure enough, "It's the Animal in

year Paramount wanted to use
it for their "Big Broadcast" and

The dangerous job Of struc-'

nerves Of steel and a scorn Of

And so when he went to France
and served % months in the Army
during the World War his early
training stood him in good stead.
After his return he still craved
excitement, so joined the Park
Police, and served with diStinc-

by an accident that caused his re-
tirement after spending a year in
the hospital.
He was commended many times
for his work in chasing gangs

Maybe you eat too fast, and go
right past the warning signal to

depends on quantity, and rapid

Eat slowly and you will be salts

Fast eating also leads to the

It's a good rule for the reducer
to leave the table feeling as if she

SYNOPSIS-CIark Griffith, deb.
OMAR iaisOn man for powerful pO-
litical forces, is attempting to win
Verda Trent from Moses "Inter-
est" CraddOck, ruthless and influ-
entail attorney. He met the beau
tiful Verda at the home of friend
and succeeded in getting her con-
sent to 60 to luncheon the follow
ing day. He has just called Verda
to remind her of the engagement
when CraddOck, entering her apart
ment, Oyerhears the telephone con-
versatiOn and is furious.
Verda dismisses CraddOck from
her apartment and goes to iuneh
with Clark, where, during the meal,
she realizes Clark has fallen in love
with her.
Verda breaks with Craddock and
reopens her shop free from obliga-
ton to him. Clark, hurrying to
Verda with tickets for a prizefght,
is fired on with a machinegun in a
fleeing car. He is uninjured, but
the bullets strike two innocent per-
sons.
Clark goes to Craddock's office
with a thinly-veiled accusal and a
threat. Both men quarrel bitterly
and the breach is widened. Clark
tells Verda he knows of a way to
hit back at Craddock.
Clark goes to August Tweed, his
political chief, to enlist his aid in
fighting CraddOck, and finds that
his faction is on the eve of a bitter
political struggle in which Grad
dock will be the OppOsitiOn's leader
among Negroes.
Clark and Verda decide to be
married at once, SO they might be
together during the bitter struggle
that is surely coming.
Clark opens an Office adjacent
to the all-important Jazz Hollow.
He is called upon there by a
stranger who offers to deliver the
Hollow to Clark's party on election
day for a certain sum Of money
Clark is amazed at the proposal.
Clark places a spy in Jazz HOl-
low to check on Inky SanbOrn. The
spy reports raids by a strange
gang on some of CraddOck's under
world strOnghOlds. But Jim Scott
is killed while driving Clark's car

Clark looked into Verda's face,

shining through her own grief, felt

composure.

to the Mayors office. The man
who headed up the city's govern
ment was an honest, capable ex-
ecutive. He was a politician to his
fingertips, but that rare thing in
today's world-a politician who put
profit behind principle. True
enough, if he could amalgamate
both he would always do it; but
if it came to a choice, he was never
known to hesitate. And Joseph
("Honest JOEY Taylor was a party
man first, last, and always. He
never forgot those he could help
that felt the same way about the
party, either.
So he never forgot Clark.

was promptly ushered into the
Mayors private office just as the
huge clock in the adjacent square
began to toll the hour.
