puttering around as the owner

fore the war and loafing about

done pretty well after leaving

UNEXPECTED
When 1 did see Sergeant
Garrett again it was under
circumstances that were unex-
pected, to say the least.
We had a cook at our
Summer camp last year who
was a swell cook with only
one failing-he liked to come
TO town d his night off and
drink it dry. His name was
Felix and l hired him when
our regular cook. Mrs. As
bury. asked for the Summer
off so she could visit her
married daughter back East
81 somewhere.
One day I got telephone
call from Felix girl friend
who told me that he had been
picked up the night before in
a saloon brawl and would l
come down and get him out of
jail, or pay his fine when he
appeared in court that after
noon.
Inasmuch as Felix's helper
had burned the toast that
morning l was in a mood 10
get him out of the hoosegow
for the remaining three weeks
of camp.
DINGY LITTLE COURT
1t was a dingy little police
court l went 10 and while
waiting for Felix's case to
come up, l naturally watched
the minor tragedies of life as
they were enacted before the
judge.
A colored man was called
before the bench 20 explain
why he had been so free and
easy with the carving knife in
a fight with his sweetheart.
He had a court lawyer.

Garrett.

one aspect Of it that she does not
like is that which comes from being
spinsterish in her fears. She ad-
mits she goes almost as far as
looking under the bed for any
casual menace which might be
lurking there. Don't, however, get
the idea that Miss Graham is an
old maid from that. She was mar
ried. 1t did not work, but Miss
Graham would try again, with not
illogical preference for rich man.

eventually dawns upon the visiting
columnist that he might do a
casual portrait of some one in this
busy, dizzy branch of the industry.
The subject naturally would be
Sheilah Graham, no matter how
much it looks like rolling a log.
Miss Graham's face and talent are
too well known on this page that
they should not be supplemented by
further details, a Boswellian bit of
how she got, and stays, that way.
Because Hollywood columnists,
regular and visiting, are busy, the
good offices of Paramount are
invoked to bring Miss Graham and
us together, We both happened to
be going there at the same time
and Rufus Blair thought it would
be fine if we had luncheon together.
We did and that's how we learned
about Sheilah Graham, whom we
had met before, but more or less
in passing.
In the first place, blond, blue
eyed Miss Graham is quite as pretty
as that half-column picture which
appears daily in her column. In
fact, she is prettier, which we hope
finally answers all those questions:
"Is Sheilah Graham that good look
ing?"
Miss Graham, English born, ar
rived at columning via the stage.
She was a fellow student of Charles
Laughton's at the Royal Academy
of Dramatic Art in London and re-
calls having played very bad
Chats the critic in herr Queen to
Laughton's King Claudius in Ham
let" That was not the end of her
stage career, for she learned to sing
and dance, which with that face and
figure earned her a place on the
musical stage. Never was 1t such
a place as she dreamed, however.
and when the chance came to do
newspaper work in America, which
she does not pronounce "Ameddica,"
she leaped at~it.
Although to this day she is un-
certain of what she knows about
love-as who is mother first job
in this country was conducting an
advice to the lovelorn column in
New York. Every day she expected
to be fired, first because she worked
for capricious publisher and
second because she was unhappy
always about how much good or
harm she might be doing to the
lovelorn. The two survived some
how as good companions for more
than two years. Then came the
Hollywood opening. Miss Graham
seized it. q
That was four years ago. Miss
Graham still is working for the
same boss, the North American
Newspaper Alliance. as you should
have noticed, reading that daily
parenthetical tag on her column.
-Four years as a top-notch Holly
wQod columnist means durability.

well-acted charm, Is a victim Of
glamouritis or, In other words, for
gets that cinema columning is sup
posed to be an objective business.
Miss Graham has done none of these
things. She went to Hollywood with
instructions that popularity there
was one thing, popularity with read
ers In Washington and elsewhere
quite another. She has remembered
them, regardless Of temptations.
She knows great many persons
In the cinema do not like her. We
know 1t, too, for some Of our mutual
acquaintances 1--WE almost said com
monD have not minded saying so.
From the standpoint Of a depart
mental editor, 1t is very nice of Miss
Graham to have put them in the
spot where she gets no vote of
theirs. That gives her our vote and,
we hope, that of her readers.
Hollywood stars and Hollywood
press agents recognize Miss Graham
as possessing one of the most pa
trician noses that ever smelled a
rat. She can detect one at distance
of several miles, an art developed by
listening to, or reading, a dozen
phoney stories day. Indeed, amidst
all those tales of romance between
this star and that, Miss Graham has
learned enough of truth and falsity
IN love that she thinks she could
conduct a better lovelorn column
today than when she was paid for 1t.
Unlike a great many columnists.
Miss Graham is reporter instead
OF some one to whom studio press
agents report. She gathers her own
material, via visits to the studios In
a popular-priced car which is famous
for its ownership. its age and its
blue color. She brings to her studio
tours, whether they involve friendly
or enemy country, the qualities Of
observation and skepticism. She
makes the fullest possible use of
both and does not mind whether the
report, her column, is something
etched in acid or concocted of spun
sugar. Like any normal human
