1 do: she could protect Daddy from ever knowing that she no longer loved George Cameron. A shock like that would be too much for him. He loved George as he might have loved the son he never had.
 As for George himself, now that the first fright was over, he re- turned to his laboratory and his beloved experiments. Except for few minutes each day with her father, he did not come to the house, for he understood how busy and upset she was. Nor did he refer to the long distance tele- phone conversation when she had hung up on him. Had he forgotten that?
 She had been home five days before George said, Isn't it about time you stepped outside this house, Lindap I'd like to have you alone for a few minutes"
 I'm afraid to leave Daddy"
 of cuorse I understand - but"
 Isn't that Daddy's bell now2" Linda evaded.
 Miss Rourke is paid to answer his bell" George said quietly.
 Even trained nurses get some time off!" she snapped. Excuse me. I'll see what he wants"
 The bell hadn't rung at all. But when she returned to the living room, George was gone. That was Friday night.
 On Saturday morning, when she opened her eyes she remembered something sharply. Tomorrow! Tomorrow was Marcia Kings wedding day. Linda's whole soul shuddered at the thought of Jimmy Cooper, standing at Marcias side, repeating solemnly, T, James, take thee, Marcia"
 But as she dressed slowly, she told herself that the wedding would occur as scheduled, all right. Jimmy had returned to his senses by now. He owed Marcia a duty. Those wild things he had said to Linda Storm wouldn't stand up in the cold light of day. Anyway, she had told him plainly, there at the airport, that 1t was goodby. This has got to be the end," she'd said.
 Miss Rourke's voice broke into her thoughts. "Postman brought 8 letter for you"
 Linda flung the door open. ''Thank you" Her heart lurched. Could it be from Jimmy But when Miss Rourke put in her hand, Marcia's round scribbling, which had not changed since the days when pieces of her English themes filtered their room at school, stared up at her.
 She tore the letter open swiftly. "You haven't written, Linda" Mar cia began. But understand how it must be with your father so des- perately i'll. I am writing to tell you that you are not going to be dished out of acting as my maid of honor after all. You'll have a second chance. Because, darling there won't be wedding this Sum- day. Jimmy was suddenly ordered to sea Wednesday,"

CHAPTER Tx

They said goodby to each other, linda Storm and Jimmy Coop er, on the windswept field where little jewels of lights outlined the far boundaries of the airport. The great silver ship, with motors ldling, waited for her.
 It wasn't much of a goodby His hand held hers for an endless space, his voice said, Remember, Linda. This is not the end"
 Its got to be the end!" she jerked.
 She ran up the steps and found . seat. She didn't want to peer out of the window, but she couldn't help it. He was standing bare headed in the night, his face set. He waved to her. She saw the shadow of the huge airliner run ming along the side of hangar. Then the field was dropping away, the lights below getting smaller and smaller.
 Even before the ship stopped its slowing run on the field at Queens vile, the next morning, Linda made out Georges figure waiting there in front of the gate. She had not slept all night, although her seat was tilted back comfortably. Too many things battled inside her.
 But now that she was home again, the immediacy of her

POLI'S

The lucky seventh of the Hardy Family series, Andy Gets Spring Fever" now playing at the Loew Poll Theater, Is proof that. audi ences like these pictures and that Metro Goldwyn-Mayer is more than keeping up the splendid pace set by the preceding productions.
 Told entertainingly, the story is of how Judge Hardy almost faces ruin through being mulcted by crooked promoters and how young Andy falls romantically in love with his dramatic class teacher. The Judge finally manages to re- gain his money and Andy returns to his old sweetheart, Polly Ben- edict, before the last reel is over. The high spot of the evening for laughs is the high school play in which Andy plays the leading role. This is so eXpertly handled by Di- rector w. s. Van Dykell, that all of us should be able to see ourselves of some years back in that hilarious presentation.
 Again Lewis Stone is splendid as then Judge, Fay Holden as Mother Hardy, Sara Haden as Aunt Milly, and Cecilia Parker as the sister, Marian. Mickey Rooney's Andy is but another proof-if one were ever needed-of this young mans abil- ity to sway audiences to tears or laughter at will. A newcomer to the case and to the screen in Helen Gilbert, who plays the role of the teacher, and seldom has a first per- formance shown such real talent. A word of praise should also go to Terry Kilburn for his fine portrayal of the pathetic, yet funny "Stickin' Plaster"
 On the same program is another splendid hit, Inside Information" in which the police use scientific methods of smashing gangdom. It also reveals the inside dope on the sensational diamond stealing racket Featured in the leading roles in this action-packed, thrill-a-minutet pie ture are Harry Carey, June Lang Dick Foran and Mary Carlisle.
 Next Wednesday is Surprise Night" at Loew's Poli. There will be plenty of fun, thrills and excite ment for everyone attending. Don't fail to be here, for in addition to the stahge surprise will be grand screen show consisting of these two superb screen features, Robert Young and Florence Rice ip MI acles For Sale" and Jane Withers, Leo Carrillo, Kane Richmond and Marjorie Weaver in "The Chicken Wagon Family"

In The Local
 TheaterS
STATE

James Cagney and George Raft, two of the screens outstanding toughies thrilled audiences to their utmost as they blasted each other on the screen at Warmers air con- ditioned State theater yesterday dur ing the opening performances of the dynamic film Each Dawn l Die"
 The film has been hailed as one of the best pictures of the month. It is prison picture that achieves a brilliant reality, far and away the strongest drama of this type ever to reach the screen.
 Not only has Cagney and Raft contributed a character portrayal that compares more than favorable with anything al ng the same line that he has ever done before, but jointly they present rarely achiev- ed welding of great talents. Both are tough, both are heard, and yet both are distinctive, and that IS just as 1t should be, for the story of the picture demands that they be entirely different types of persons.
 Supporting the two stars is cast which includes such luminaries as Jane Bryan, George Bancroft, Maxie Rosenbloom, Stanley Ridges, Alan Baxter and Victor Jory.
 And for your further enjoyment the management proudly presents a fast-stepping comedy Sweepstakes Winner" with grand cast of fun- makers which include Marie Wilson, Johnnie Davis and Allen Jenkins.
 All in all here is the show that has "must see" all tver 1t. It's the sensation of the year and that is why you should not let anything keep you from seeing 1t. You'll thrill as never before as hot-headed Jimmy and cold -blooded George clash for the first time. Will Gag ney's fists strike terror into the man who's never met his master? See Each Dawn I Die" at the air conditioned State over the week end and you'll see the thrilling an- swer to these questions.
 Coming the State on Tuesday is Akim Tamiroff, "the man of thousand faces" in his greatest hit, "The Magnificent Fraud"

fathers illness claimed her. "Hov is Daddy?" she asked breathlessly when she and George were face to face.
 eve don't know yet. George was tired. His eyes behind the glasses, were red-rimmed. I've been up with him all night. He kept asking for you"
 A middle-aged, business like nurse opened the door to them when they reached home. Linda asked her swiftly, "How's my fatherP"
 "Dr. Logan will be here in a few minutes. You can go right up"
 Linda brushed past her, raced ap the stairs. At the door of her fathers room, she checked herself A smile. She must greet him with a smile.
 Hello, Daddyl" Her voice rang out, almost gay almost true in its forced cheerfulness. What do you mean by pulling trick like this the minute my back is turned?"
 But when she saw his white face on the pillow, when she saw the deep lines around his mouth etched there by pain, her courage faltered. How old he had become How weak, how spent!"
 Linda" His voice was thread. Only his eyes were the same. Wise and kind and holding world of love for her. Linda, my darling
 She threw her arms around his neck, remembering to be very gentle. She hid her face.
 How good to see you, Linda. I was afraid I'd never see you again"
 Don't talk like that, Daddy" she pleaded.
 The nurse hustled in. "We1l have no excitement, please, Pro- lessor Storm" she said crisply. I'm glad your daughter is here, but you know what l told you about carrying on!"
 Nurse Rourke is a Tartar, Linda" whispered Daddy. Cant call my soul my own"
 "Humph! Calling your soul your own is just what I'm here to help you keep on doing, I'll remind you"
 Evidently they knew each other well and thoroughly, despite their short acquaintance. Linda's eyes stung, idiotically. It was so much Nike Daddy to have 8 little joke with his nurse even at time like this.
 When Dr. Logan came, he took her into the book-lined study downstairs, and closed the door. Your father is very sick man, my dear"
 But what is it?"
 "Its an occlusion of the coro- nary artery"
 That meant nothing to her, as he had probably known. Damage has been done the heart-much damage, grave damage. Few men, if I may speak plainly, survive an attack of this sort. Your father has 8 fighting chance - if" he made little tent of his hands and looked at them with intense con- centration-"if another attack does not occur"
 The days became a pattern. She was with Daddy every minute that the formidable Rourke would allow. He had to sleep a great deal, and most of the time he was under medication. There were the long rituals of his bath, his bed chang ing, the many mysterious things Rourke did with the door closed against Linda. There were the doc- tors visits, the careful detailing of how Daddy had or had not slept. Mostly 1t was had not. And there was the silent moments when the mask of cheerfulness slipped away from Linda as she sat at his bed side and wondered helplessly how they could prevent another attack.
 There was one thing she could
