dor standing beside the table, his
arms folded, his eyes toward the
broad French windows that stood
open on the other side of the room.
Within her a dull voice repeated
over and over again, 81 must not
see him-I must not see himl" He
turned his head slowly toward her
now, his mouth drawn up In a quiz
zical smile so that the deep furrow
appeared In his cheek. That furrow
IN his lean brown cheek, which must
have been dimple when he was
child-she had kissed his cheek Just
there, In an infinite tenderness, only
two nights ago. She felt a terrible
vertigo all through her being, sud-
den collapse of all her defenses. The
feeling lasted for only a moment,
however. When he looked at her
again she was able to smile with
a hard, vivid carelessness.
And then the short plump man
lurched toward her, lost his balance,
and fell heavily against the chair on
which she was standing, clutching
Florian In a desperate attempt to
right himself It seemed that be-
fore she had reached the floor.
Bruce was there, had caught her up
and was carrying her out of the con-
fusion through the open French
doors and into the sunken garden.
She beat against his breast and
sobbed frantically for release. When
he put her down at last behind a
hedge of honeysuckle, be was
breathing heavily. She backed away
from him as though to turn and
run, but he snatched her hand and
pulled her back roughly to him,
placing her against the hedge so
that she was forced to face him.

The silver sheath of her dress
seemed to CULVER IN the starlight.
But she stood erect before him, her
head flung back, her eyes blazing
into his.

painted. Let me go back"
He eyed her coldly. Either you
are playing a game tonight-or you
were playing one night before last, I"
he told her.
Her lips quivered over her
clenched teeth. "You can Judge for
yourself" she replied.
He stepped toward her and seized
her wrist. do you-mean that?"
he asked.
She released her wrist with vio-
lent jerk. Don't touch NEEDN'T

from him.
Her voice was a shrin whimper,
not loud, not the voice of one utterly

piled.
Lets go into the other room and
dance" she invited.
How about taking a crack at the
wheel now that we're here?" he
said equally. Dance later"
With a little moue of disappoint-
ment which he chose to ignore, Lin
da pressed forward to the side of
the table and looked on while Bruce
bought a pile of chips and waited
for the next flip of the ivory ball.
When Timothy reached for the spin
dies again, Bruce placed three chips
on squares and offered handful to
Linda.
I'm not lucky" she demurred.
He turned again to the table and
waited for the ball to drop into the
slot. While he waited he noticed
short, plump man who had had too
much to drink pushing his way to
the edge of the table beside Autumn.
He could not help seeing that Au-
tumn's hands were clenched on the
table edge. Florian stepped between
her and the boisterous guest and
the game went on.
Autumn stood on a gilt chair be-
side the crowded table and tossed
chips on thirteen and black. She
knew that she swayed occasionally;
Florian, standing below her, sup
ported her with an arm about her
slender hips. Now and then she ran
her fingers through his hair and
Florian turned his face up to hers

CHAPTER VII

Bruce Lander drew his car UP be-
side a score of others that were
parked on the graveled roadway at
the rear of the Parr house and stood
for a moment listening to the sounds
of reveIry that issued from that
great lighted mansion on the bluff.
He smiled to himself, wondering
how Autumn would be getting along
with Florian's delightful pack of
hoodlurns. Florian would undoubt-
edly be In fine fettle himself, Bruce
thought, after his teams victory IN
Kelowna that afternoon. Bruce was
sorry he had missed the game, but
he had heard about it on his way
through town.
II was of Autumn herself, howev-
CT, as someone entirely apart from
the others, that he was thinking with
a urriekened heartbeat as he mount
ed the steps of the Parr portico, hat
IN hand, the cool night wind blow
ing gently across his hair. A half
dozen dim figures were hidden
among the shadows on the porch
as he stepped to the door where he
stood for a moment and listened to
the babble of voices from within.
''Oh-Brucel" voice called from
a corner of the porch.
Linda came gliding swiftly toward
him out of the shadows and slipped
a hand within his arm.

A servant took Bruce's hat and

again into the crook of his elbow
and drew it close to her. 1T was

How're you been?"
Fine, thanks" he replied, and
realized at once that his voice sound

his tie with an anticipatory excite

BILE for giving the child her first
boost up the ladder of screen fame.
Fans Remember Her.
AS result, the youngster, now
known as Joan Carroll, has sky
rocketed from the ranks of hun
dreds of children who hover around
the fringes of the picture business,
playing "bit" roles and never making
any certain mark for themselves in
| films.
Joan made her first ugly duck
ling bid in Ginger Rogers "Prim-
rose PATH" and all the fans who
saw that picture remember the
fresh, unattractive kid who torment
ed every one in Ginger's household.
Few would believe Joan was once
a Shirley Temple type" Never
theless, she was-and got nowhere
as such. But after her arresting
brat performance in Primrose

contract and today she's moving
from one big part to another, latest
of which is the role of Little Sister"
in Gene Stratton Porter's "Laddie."
Like literally hundreds of other
youngsters, Joan was brought to
Hollywood by her mother because
all the neighbors kept eXclaiming:
"She looks just like Shirley Temple.
She ought to be in pictures" She
was pretty and dimpled and a mass
of golden curls crowned her head.
She could dance and she was preco-
cious.
That was four years ago. Her
mother began to believe all the
flattering comments of the folks
back in Elizabeth, so she finally
packed up, and with her daughter
in tow, struck down on HOLLYWOOD.
Upon her arrival here, she was en-
rolled at the Fanchon and Marco
dancing school. Through this con-
tact she got a small part in "The

our suggestion as to what to do with
that extra million dollars or SO now

it into show-business on Broadway
and he told us, what kind of busi-
ness is that where I have to sit on
my chair and wait for an author to
think up second act while my
money is cooking itself blue in the

So it's a golden day for play

people and asking. do you know
anybody around who can spell and
wants to be an author, a rich.
famous author, with actresses taking
him out to parties?"
Yet there the playwright was on
our doorstep and it was plain to
see he had starved to death.
We know two others who are now
in the process of starving to death.
Their stories may furnish a clue to
the mystery OF the corpse on our
doorstep.
One Is woman who was COM
manding a gratifying amount of
respect in her chosen field of fiction
writing. She kept a job as secre-
tary of nearby home for unmar-
ried mothers, largely because it
interested her. People who had
read her fiction started clamoring
IN her ears to write a play about
her job-odd people like agents,
producers, millionaires looking for
action, actors, actresses and a
couple of critics.
She succumbed ultimately, wrote
the play and mailed it to one of the
,best-known producers in town. He
read it the morning he got it, signed
a contract with her over lunch and
spent the afternoon debating
memoranda to the newspapers to
the effect that the play was 'in
production"
There's Always Something.
Our friend trotted off to her home
Tor unmarried mothers and waited
to become rich. She waited, waited
and waited and then waited some
more. Finally, she telephoned the
producer "Hahzabatit?" He said
he had been thinking the first act
needed fixing. She wrote the first
act over and then over and over
again and over some more and
wrote 1t over seven times in all.
The producer said she didn't have
it right yet and that she'd better
get the first act right before doing
the second and third acts over.
BY that time, she was somewhat
unnerved about the playwriting
business and she told him to go
there. The play was grabbed up by
other producers. Each told her they
loved it. Each contracted for it.
Then each told her they liked all
Of it except the first, second and
third acts. Those had to be re-
written.
Finally, she told Broadway to go
there and rewrote the play into a

NEW YORK

NEW YORK.
The corpse at our door proved to
be playwright. He seemed to have
starved to death. Even his teeth
had become thin. Yet it seemed i'm
possible that he should have starved
to death, particularly at our door,
where there has been nice wolf for
many years now that would make
fine eating for desperate man. 1t
is not for nothing that we are known
both here and there as ''the door
short for Wolfert the Door.
1t seemed impossible, too, that he
should have starved because a play
wright is the most popular man on
earth right now with Broadway peo-
pie whose pockets are bulging with
the price of steaks. They are hard
people, but they melt in mounds at
sight of a playwright. 1t is only for
the playwright that they take gold
out of their pockets, and it is only
under his nose that gold is waved
and only to him is said: Friend of
man and me, I love you. You have
a typewriter already? Good. And
ribbon in it, too? Splendid. Lift your
finger or any finger you have and
let 1t descend and let it arrange the
letters of the alphabet into pleasing
shapes and the world is yours"
Many Need Plays.
Nor is that where a playwright's
heaven ends. Designing and beau-
tiful and powerfully talented males
and females pursue him endlessly.
Ina Claire can find no play. She
could not last season either. Does
that mean she stands and waits?
Miss Claire-nor any other woman
who has attained ranking on the
stage-stands for nothing. If she
has no play, she flies to the nearest
literary brain and hammers at it de-
mandingly.
And now Katharine Cornell has
no play either, and Ruth Gordon has
not had one in many years. Ditto
