learned by them in the preparation
of their exhibits are the hidden re-

Evening star., 1938-05-31

The play was produced six weeks
after Evans return. Barney Hunt
predicted it would be the greatest of
all the clubs performances. A, half
hour before the curtain was due to rise,
the town hall was packed. Looking
through hole in the curtain, Evan
felt the old thrill, the almost forgotten
surge Of excitement. He was an actor.
1t was in his blood. 1t was what he
wanted to do. Sometime, somehow. he
was going beyond this. Nothing was
going to stop him. He was going to try
again and yet again.
Barney Hunts prophecy was full
filled. The play was success. A great
success. Greater than any that had
gone before. Standing on the stage
and bowling to the thunderous applause
that was the tribute of record audi
ence to his genius, Evan almost forgot
the thing that still ranked In his
soul. Almost-he was completely swept
away, borne to the crest of wave that
was close to complete satisfaction.
X X X X
FIGHTING his way toward his dress
ing room through the crowd of
backstage spectators, Evan became
aware of a strange face among the
group. He suddenly knew that Barney
Hunt was yelling at him. There was
curious exultation in Barney's voice.
There were queer, expectant looks in
the faces of those who were gathered
about.
Barney Hunt grasped his arm. They
were standing before the stranger. The
stranger said: I'm from the Ostrand
productions in Hollywood. Touring
the country in search of new talent.
You know, it's Mr.. Ostrand's policy of
keeping scouts on the road all the time.
We've a place for you in new picture
that's due to start production In
week"
Il told him to run along and peddle
his papers," Barney Hunt grinned. II
told him you came back here because
you wanted to, because you knew this
was where you belonged, because you're
needed here"
Evan wet his lips. In sudden rush
he knew what they all had been think
ing. He knew the thing had been in
their minds, that they had kept silent
because they wanted him here, with
them, where they believed he belonged.
They were offering him local fame and
prestige and recognition. There was
no competition here. The way would
be easy and pleasant.
Evan looked at the talent scout and

CURLEwIs, New South Wales.-In
the opinion Of a group of Australian
country girls, the perfect" wife

1. Keep her husbands house In or
der within the bounds Of his income.
2. Do the washing and cooking and
take an interest in his workaday prob
lens.
8. Raise a family.
4. Place her own health first for the
sake Of her husband and children
but never become a food faddist or a
sufferer from imaginary ills.
5. Treat the domestic servant as a
human being and never complain
about her to the husband.
g. Cultivate a good temper.

keep herself interested in things be-
yond the back gate.

Hollywood. Bitterness scored his soul
whenever he thought about it. He had
been filled with hope and confidence
when he set out for the coast, more
than a year ago. He had been sure Of
success. He had turned deaf ear
to those who advised him against the
venture.
They were right. That's what hurt
the most. He had believed himself to
be great actor. He believed he would
be able to succeed where others had
failed. He was young. He had behind
him success in small-town dramatics.
He had book full of newspaper clip
pings.
And what had they amounted to?
Nothing. The great Aaron Ostrand.
the one man whom he had pinned his
hopes, had failed even to see him. Os-
trand was known as the benefactor of
new talent, as a pioneer in exploiting
undiscovered talent. Bah! Publicity.
A good story that apepaled to the
sympathies of thousands of moviego-
ers. A means to an end, employed at
the expense of hopeful young innocents
like Evan.
AS he approached the village, Evan
wondered what his reception would be.
Everything was the same. As he
trudged along tree-shaded Main street,
1t seemed that he had been away for
years, yet things hadn't changed. Fa-
miliar. Restful. Solid. Something
to cling to. No hectic merry-go-round
of life. A scene that the hand of time
caressed rather than withered.

"A FAMILIAR figure appeared
n around a corner. A familiar voice
hailed him. It was Barney Hunt, di-
rector of the amateur dramatic group
of which Evan had been part.
Evan! BY gosh, I'm glad you're
back. You're looking swell. Say, we're
putting on a new play. We haven't
lead. We haven't had a good show
since you left. How about stepping in
and putting the thing across?"
A warmth permeated Evan. Barney's
handclasp was firm and sincere. They
needed him. They wanted him. Here
he was appreciated. Here was well
come. There would, Of course, be some
who would look askance and whisper
among themselves, but for the most
part they'd be like Barney. He knew
1t now.
His step was brisk as he covered the
short distance to his own home. His
folks were there. Their welcome was
not dimmed by triumph over the sue
cess Of their own predictions. He was
home. They were glad. 1t was where
he belonged, and wanted to he.
Rehearsals for the new play got un-
der way the next week. Evan was given
the lead, and he threw himself
