piano players around, Cholly had
very little chance without influence'
Romany decided to go to the
agency with Cholly the next morn
ing. Cholly needed someone she
knew besides her, throughout her
ordeal. Romany felt certain she
would be nervous, because SO much
depended upon her earning salary
enough to take care of her family
at home.
Bob Lane came out Immediately
when Miss O'Neil was announced.
He was surprised to see Romany.
I'VE live together" Romany ex.
planned. II came along for moral
support"
Come along in" He led them into
the same studio where Romany had
watched paradise Is Here"
where's everybody else?" Rom
any asked when Lane motioned
Cholly to a big grand piano in the
center of the studio.
"'We're early" Lane replied
vaguely. II thought I'd hear Miss
O'Neil before the others got here.
! Brent Nelson tells me she's pretty
good. This sponsor is all ready to
go on the air, and I want to get a
pianist signed up today"
Cholly bit her lip nervously. Her
cheeks were pink with excitement.
do you want to come back into
| the control room with me, Miss
| Haile?" Lane smiled at Cholly en-
couragingly. "Or do you want her
in here, Miss O'Neil?"
Listen from the control room
Romany." Cholly sat down to the
piano. "And tell me how it sounded
later"
"She can't MISS Romany pu'
her hand on Lanes arm in the hall
ooh, Mr.. Lane, if this addition Is
up to you, please give Cholly q
break! She's so talented and she
needs the money so badly"
Bob Lane grinned.
"This," he smiled 'm~ysteriously, lis

about, my dear. It's-in the bag"

Publicity was a thing Romany
was becoming accustomed to so fast
that she seldom bothered looking foi
her picture in the papers or maya
zines. Because she photographed So
we'll, and because she was the niece
Of Cissie Harlowe, the press hac
been more than generous with its
space. 1t was Cholly who tended the
big scrap book and did the clipping
and pasting.
She was sitting on the floor past
ing late one November afternoon
when the phone rang. it was the
Byrd-Cromwell agency. But to hel
surprise the call was for Miss ONell
and not Miss Halle.
Could Miss O'Neil be at the
agency at ten o'clock? the next
morning for an addition? She was
to report to MI. Lane. Mr.. Brent
Nelson had recommended her for q
fifteen-minute morning piano SPOT
Dazed, Cholly hung up. Romany
found her in seventh heaven when
she returned a few minutes later.
"Oh, Romany," she laughed tear
fully. at can't be truet There must
be a mistake! Isn't it wonderful OF
Brent, bless his heart? I'm SO ex-
cited I could die
'I'll be praying all night that you
get the job" Romany said fervent'
ly. II could really enjoy my own
good luck if you'd have a little. But
it's bound to come soon, Cholly. The
law Of averages will have to be with
you"
Brent was so kind. Romany fell
certain he must have been keeping
his eyes open for an opportunity
for Charlotte. Romany decided to
call him and thank him.
You're a darling" she told him
a moment later over the wire. "Oh
Brent, do you really think Cholly
will get the job she is auditioning
for tomorrow morning?"
Brent asked quickly:
what job, dear?" I don't know
what you're talking about"
Fortunately Cholly had gone
down to mail a letter to her mother.
Romany told him of the phone call
from the Byrd-C Cromwell agency.
Brent still denied any knowledge OF
what it was all bout. Mystified,
Romany hung up. But she did not
tell Charlotte. She was heartsick

La revolution de noviembre,

de. Una de sus primeras medi-
das fue negociar ell tratado de

bierno pas6 a ser la mano dere-
cha de Trotzky, primero como

de la Guerra que supo destacar
