It was here that the press asserted
itself.
why do we have to pay $3.30?"
came the pointed question from a
girl in the group.
Business Enters Picture.
well, it's business, and the people
who have money invested have to
get 1t back, I guess was the reply,
but an opening had been found in
the screen of formality.
who are the people who have
money invested?" the eager inter-
viewer prodded.
We'll, I'll not 60 into that" the
player begged off good naturedly.
That's a long, long story
A few more queries were read
from the slips, and then, DO you
like the jitterbug?"
Yes, I do; in fact, I am a litter
bug"
This encouraged little miss to
cock beribboned head to one side
and ask, hopefully, DO you shag?"
another question was fired by
boy In louder voice, however, and
the second bid got the answer.
DO you think there is a place
Tor the Negro in the theater?" The
question came from slip.
Calls for Questioner.
Mr.. Garfield's face become serious
He asked who had passed up the
question. 1t was a small colored boy
representing the journal of his
school,
Yes, I do," the answer was en-
phatic. The actor expressed his adj
miration for Paul Robson and ex-
pressed the opinion the Negro had a
definite place in the theater busi-
ness as actor, playwright "and even
director"
In response to other questions,
Mr.. Garfield expressed surprise the
buildings of Washington and the
historic documents here had not
furnished themes for more films;
said he liked stage and screen equal
ly we'll; told the high school re-
porters his parents had said you're
going to be a bum," when he ex-
pressed interest in a drama career:
mentioned New York City as hav-
ing the best opportunities for aspir-
ing young performers while admit
ting the field there is already over
crowded.
But where else is there?" he in
quired, challenging girl to show
them to me- when she suggested

admired most in him. Women
adored him. not because he made
love to them. but because instinc-
lively he undersood them.
"You like fowers?" he asked as
Gail buried her face in the cool
fragrance OF the violets.

"I'll send you some tomorrow" he
promised.
Is Persistent.
Oh, but tomorrow it would all be
over. Gail remembered with sud-
den sick Mrching of her heart. Then
for one reckless moment she felt
she could not give him up even for
her mother.
Why did it have to be like this?
She had had so little happiness in
her life, her entire youth had been
poisoned by the disgrace which had
befallen her father.
Wasn't she entitled to a little ro-
nance? The color drained from her
face as she looked into his eyes.
Chris took her hand.
What is it, Gail? Why do you
look so sad?"
She could not tell him. She had
made up her mind to keep this eve
ming a joyous one, a memory she
could treasure always.
Makes Love.
Lets dance!" she suggested, but
when he held her in his arms she
felt new tenderness. And then
as Bill had done the night she met
Chris, he murmured, Il love you,
Gail"
Unlike that other occasion, his
words vibrated like hundreds of tiny
bells across her nerves. She felt
herself drawn closer, pressed against
his heart, sinking into that strange
ecstasy which only he could rouse.
She must tell him. She dared not
wait, yet this was not the time or
place to announce her resolution.
Tears of rebellion filled her eyes but
oIle olu nOJ draw away.
For the space of that last dance
she gave herself up to an attraction
more powerful than duty or the re-
venge she had vowed against his
father.
Then the music stopped and SLOW
ly as if in daze the blurred room
cleared. Gail saw their table and,
standing beside it, Bill.
He knew. She could tell from his
grave eyes and proud quick smile
that he was hurt but he spoke gayly.
Greetings! How goes it?"
Shows Town.
Chris urged him to sit down but
Bill said, mo thanks! I'm enter
tanning some business acquaint-
ances for my father. Showing
them the town, but I didn't want
to leave without speaking to you"
Il should hope not" Chris said
cordially while Gail added, II
haven't seen you, Bill. Have you
been here long?"
"All evening"" he grinned. "I saw
you the moment you came in."
They watched him as he returned
to his companions who were pre-
pairing to go. Then Chris said. Il
used 20 be afraid you might be in
love with Bill. You remember I
asked if you were engaged?'
II remember" she nodded.
ut certainly was a relief to know
you weren't" Chris confessed.
The sight of Bill had been like
a dash of cold water thrown in
her face. Bill had been wonderful
to her. He had asked her to marry
him even after she had told him
the truth about her father. Had
assumed without her saying so that
her only reason for refusing him had
been to prove her fathers inno-
cence.
At the time she had assumed

AS If he sensed her mood. Chris
was less high-spirited himself than
usual. They dined and danced to-
gether at quaint little place on
the Seven-mile road.
He talked to her about his life
as a small boy, his loneliness after
his mother died, the complete lack
OF understanding he had always felt
with his father. He stopped in the
middle of his story to select a nose
gay of violets with red rose in the
center from the girl who passed with
them piled on a tray.
She was a young girl with hard
blue eyes which softened as they
gazed at him. His manner was as
gently courteous as if she had been
one of his own crowd.
