Of public offenders who. fguratively
speaking, are enjoying the hospitality
OF State and Federal Governments.
The idea of the feature is to show
how prisons, supposedly corrective in
stitutions. are breeders of crime. The
treatment is one of those comparative
processes. contrasting conditions in
well-administered penal institutions
with those where administration can
not bother its thick head with rehabili-
tation of its criminal guests. The pic
ture opens at Keith's tomorrow.
a MORE pleasant subject if not so
socially significant, is Miss Kitty
Carlisle who is playing three lovely
ladies in Three Waltzes" at the
National Theater this week Fellow
players of Miss Carlisles, it seems,
never get over being amazed at her
There is no reason in the world why
Miss Carlisle should be working these
warm days, or why she should go on
working through the warmer ones to
come. At least there is no reason as

she is not independent of a deep inner

average star similarly situated might
dodge road tour, Miss Carlisle takes
to it like a press agent to page one:

isles first venture in show business
and the conditions of it were sharply
in contrast with those she had known
as the luxury surrounded daughter of
a family which could buy luxury in
carload lots.
She will admit very graciously that
she did need a rest when that was
over. but it did not modify her en-
thusiasm for activity in the slightest.
So fervd is Miss Carlisle about
being busy that she is almost indis-
crlnlnate in her taste of entertain
ment mediums. She likes the theater
most of all, but she also likes pictures
and radio. She also likes Bing Crosby
and the climate of California, which

Milt smiled and shook his head
'They were fools. There was no credit
due them. Brave men don't attempt
the impossible"
Bonnie stared at him. Then you
don't think Jack Perry will attempt
it? You think the stories we've been
hearing about his plan to conquer the
high slope are untrue?"

minded hero lovers. Perry's the great

attempt the high slope" Milt swung
his skis in a great arc. Come on

There was a hubbub of excitement
in the great community room Of the
lodge when Bonnie and Milt entered
Jack Perry had, indeed, arrived. He
stood in the center of an enthusiastic
group, a tall, fair-haired, handsome
youth, obviously enjoying the atten-
ton. Two reporters were pressing him
with questions.
How about it. Jack, are you going
to try the high slope?"

reporters, then lifted his head and
looked around at the group Of people
He started to speak, but checked him

on Bonnie's face. He stared at her
so long that she dropped her eyes.
She had gained the bottom step when
she heard his answer.

going to try the high slope, I'm going
to conquer it!''

THE next day dawned bright and
clear. Everyone who was stay
ing at the inn was on hand at 10
o'clock when Jack Perry shouldered
his skis and started up the hill. A
cheer rose on the still, cold air.
Standing beside Milt, Bonnie felt
strange sensation of anxiety, of
fright. She waited until Jack Perry
had disappeared beyond the first
fringe of trees. Then something hap
pened inside of her, over which she
had no control.
''Milt. please try and understand.

remembered the smile.
She cut across the base OF the hill
and followed the ravine. BY so doing
she could overtake him at the foot of
the high slope. Breathless, she rounded
the last clump Of shrubbery and
stopped dead still. Jack Perry was
standing in the clearing there, lean
ing on his skis, waiting.
Hello" he said I'm glad you've
come. For a minute I thought you
wouldn't"
Thought wouldn't? Then-then
you're not going to attempt the

"That?" He jerked a thumb over
his shoulder. Il should say not. No

Jack Perry made a move toward

and Bonnie was. Three seconds later
she was nearing the smile that she
