A small smile caught the corners
Of her mouth, and her eyebrows
lifted upward. She had a dozen
evening frocks hanging on velvet
padded hangers in her wardrobe.
She had looked on them as a total
loss until this morning. Now they
would serve good purpose.
"Any black ones 2" the man per-
sued the subject.
1.-TWO or three"
| "Good! You're the type who can
wear something quiet and give it
dash. How about black tonight 2"
"Blaclx will be excellent"
She mentally scanned the ward
robe hangers. One dress was ro-
mantle black satin with velet bows
and a padded hustle. She had worn
lit last to the theater with Craig.
Another was a high-waisted model
of black crepe, worn under black
sequin sleeveless jacket. She and
Craig had been house guests at the
same house party the night she first
appeared in it !. Then there was
La glamorous shirred black tulle,
with spreading skirts and crisis

above low neck.
The mai scrutinized her again.
| No-can the black. You're little

but some folks like it. Black might

you got?"
There was nothing In the wide
autumn world which could have
been as remote from Judy,s mind,
three months earlier, than sitting
in the modernistic Office Of the pro-
prietor Of Danceland, describing
her wardrobe.
She tried to keep the amusement
i from her voice as she mentioned

Elchifon, a cream satin as straight
las an old Greek temple pillar, half
a mile Of pale green tulle that
wound around her, chrysalis fash
ion, and a dress with six bright
Igypsy colors that made a bouffant
skirt which was attached to tight
orange bodice. She merely men
toned the colors, though.

anyone told her, three months be-
fore. that jobs were so scarce she
would have smiled. She might
have taken a dare and tried to find
one. and maybe succeeded, since life
has a habit Of handing favors to
those with market baskets more or

But now
She counted her money. Enough
for meals and another weeks rent.
It had been good ruby. Some day
she would reclaim it. AT the mo-

toast would be better than jewel

let wooden frock, the brown jacket,
and went to the white-tiled cafe
terra on the corner. The air was
cold this morning. Her fur coats,
two Of them, were in storage. Some
repair work had been done on them
and she did not have the money to
reclaim them. The brown jacket,
the warmest coat she had, was too
thin for such a day.
Someone had left morning pa

She scanned it idly. Her eyes TO-

than six inches long. It concerned
her father. It seemed he had we'll

There were financial terms, in the
article, that meant nothing to her.
One thing, though, Judy knew.
She would not give up her desire to
be independent, worthy Of the
clothes she wore and the bread she
ate, no matter what boon came her
way. Not until she had vanquished
the obstacles that .beset her path
would she relax.
She smiled, recalling the mingled
worry and admiration in Ronald
Birrell's eyes. She would give him
no opportunity to call5ller a gutter.

like turkey Miss Lombard demurred
at eating turkey. Miss Lombard. in
fact, said absolutely no, she would not
eat turkey even for arts sake.
1t looked like pretty impasse, not
as pretty as some that Europe has
thought up lately, but pretty for Hol-
lyWood, understand. But it was not
an impasse for long. While the dis
cussion was going on, a prop man
Slipped away, attached a perfectly
sculptured piece of roast beef to a

IF WE were motion picture camera
and had our choice of what we
would prefer to do in this world, we
are not so sure it would be to make
pictures of Norma Shearer, Garbo, or
Ginger Rogers. Sometimes we think
it would be better just to work for
the Department. of Agriculture One
OF the things that makes us think so
is a flve-picture program shown last
night to an S. r. o. audience at the
D. A. autorium. The cameras which
made those pictures have led more
varied lives than those in Hollywood,
We suspect Some of them, of course,
were those which made the now logi-
cally famous The River" The others
covered such subjects as the birds,
mammals and fauna of the Aleutian
Islands, the intimate and important
connection between the city dweller
and the farmer about whom the ur-
banite has made many bad jokes, the
drama of soil conservation and the
art of swimming 1t was all very
interesting. informative and dramatic;
the kind of documentary film program
that makes one want to 60 out and
find a less deadly word than "docu-
mentary'' to describe such films.

PEST title change ever made in
the case of Hollywood picture,
so far as this department is concerned,
has to do with Joan CraWford's next
film. Metro-G o-Goldwyn-M Mayer called it
'1ntidelity.' The Hays office thought
that wasn't nice So M-G-M Just
dropped the prefix and now it is called
Fidelity" Makes them sound like
quite the same thing, doesn't it?
The town next week will be practically
full of stars who did not suffer starva-
ton. nor anything like it, on the way
to their present places in the enter
tainment world. Two of them, Michael
Bartlett and Kitty Carlisle, will be
in the play at the National. The only
reason the two of them were not born
with silver spoons in their mouths is
that children are not born with silver
spoons in their mouths in this day of
modern obstetrics. Third member of
the group is Irene Dunno. who will

young tommy Kelly, the Bronx lad
starring in his first picture in the role
Of Mark Twain's immortal Tom. All
child actors, Mr.. Taurog was saying
prior to his reference to the picture,
are easier to work with than adults.
And, if they are intelligent children,
the less experience they have, the
better performance they give.
Well, Mr.. Taurog seems to have
been right. The picture was screened
here yesterday for the first time and
outside of the performance of May
Robson, who has been acting while
several generations of Kellys were be-
ing born, that of young Tommy is
the standout of the film. He is no
actor, maybe, but he is Tom Sawyer
which is precisely what he is supposed
to be. 1t is obvious that he did exactly
what MI Taurog told him, that he
was a performer with an ability to
understand and to feel and one who
had no mannerisms which got in the
way of his looking perfectly natural
at all times.
1NCSSSSdiIN 1Oiu Od"yCI, WHICH, Is

use of a positive army Of children.

sionalS, that is to say youngsters who

of them accomplishes the fine, honest.
| unSelf-conscious character portrayal
of the freckle-faced little Irish lad
who probably could not even spell
Mississippi before he went to Holly
wood to work on the banks of a
make-believe father of waters.
He obviously does not have the
talent Of Freddie Bartholomew, who
might have had the role if he had not
been f1ghting over pay checks when
the picture was being cast, but Tom
Sawyer undoubtedly did not have the
talent of Freddie Bartholomew either.
So, as far as Mr.. Taurog and the
Kelly youngster were concerned with
that conversation last summer, every
thing turned out all right.
