In the meantime, Mr.. Bert Sedg-

won.
He decided that ne must have

He could buy Erin Go Bragh

He wanted this noble creature
only until IL had won big race

That would satisfy Bert.
He was no hog for glory. Just

years nc had spent trying TO de-

But he must move fast. Other

Erin Go Bragh breeze past a field

Bert did move last. Three min

the box, he was in whispered con-
ference with a horse buyer named
Silent Thomas.
Seven minutes later, he was
back in the Sedgwick box. Then

She did not return until the fifth

told her she was hired for part in What
Life" a play then current on Broadway.
But she can't act!" MIR. Tierney walled.
1t is his last wall. Good-by, MIR. Tierney;
you may bow out of our story. Well go along
with Gene from here.
Gene couldn't find out much about her
part, but they told her to report in time for
the second act next night. She did so. Soon
after the start of the second act somebody
gave her bucket of water and told her to
walk across the stage with it. She did. That
was all. Come back tomorrow night, they said.
Gene came back the next night, and so did
lot of her friends, for the news of her ire

Gene. Some actress. She carried the bucket
of water across the stage for weeks: probably
the most beautiful person to perform this act

only one ever to do it to applause. But Genes
face was so red by this time that she didn't
mind it. She kept on carrying the water,
putting everything she had into it and not
spilling any.
Just as she was about to give up, the play
saved her the trouble: it closed. Well, thought
Gene, that was that. Now for the social
whirl. But Mr. George Abbott, producer of
the play, had another idea He liked the way
Gene walked across the stage. He was about
to produce another play, called Mrs O'Brien
Entertains." How would Gene like to be an
actress?
Il can't act" Gene said.
Well teach you," said Mr.. Abbott
They did teach her They gave her script
and told her she was to have the part of Molly
ODay which was the ingenue lead Gene was
frightened stiff. But she rehearsed with the
new company everybody helping her; and
she was given an intensive short course in act
ing on the side Here was a chance to show her
family and her friends that she could do more
than carry bucket of water across the stage.
She practiced endessly all but broke her
health, but the recollection of the bucket
spurred her on, and she made it. She did a
fairly good job.

wanted to be - show girl The huddle
ended in a compromise: Gene was given three
months in which to get stage job. Her father
would accompany her, every Wednesday, on
tour of the theatrical agents. He was going
along partly to protect her, and partly, he
declared, to help her in her interviews.
And 50 we have seen him, valiantly carrying
out his end of the bargain: taking her around
and helping" her with all his might and main.
Now we come to the tragedy. One morning
just before the three months was up, and Mr..
Tierney had victory within his grasp, an
agent from whose Office he was making a
triumphant exit with Gene said, wait a
minute
Mr.. Tierney tried to make quick getaway,
but Gene held back. The agent looked her
over, asked few perfunctory questions, and

u NY story about Miss Gene Tierney
~ should begin with the story of her
q - father, which is, in manner of speak
ing, tragic one.
The best way to meet MIR. Tierney is to 60
back two years and picture him and his
daughter walking up side street in the
Broadway theatrical district. He is plainly no
Broadwayite. He wears an iron-gray mus
tache and an air of distinguished authority,
and no nonsense about it. He has the appear
ance Of broker a rather angry broker,
strayed from Wall Street. In fact he is one.
He looks around at the neighborhood with
disapproval.
They turn into building, mount flight
of stairs, and enter the reception room of
theatrical agency A number of large photo
graphs with names suawled upon them, plas-
ter the walls. Several people, in attitudes of
hopeless boredom, are sitting around, plainly
waiting to see the man in the private office,
just beyond.
Mr.. Tierney frowns at everything and
everybody.
Gene starts to sit down on leather up
holstered bench, but her father has no time
to waste sitting down on anything. He
marches her up to the door of the Office and
kicks it - or anyway pushes it open. The
man behind the cigar at the desk looks up in
pardonable surprise. Mr.. Tieney looks at him
with disapproval.
This is my daughter he says Uisply.
getting it over with. Have you job for her
on the stage?"

''Of course mott" Mr.. Tierney glares at him.
Nobody in my family, young fellow, ever

Then what the p" The agent waves his
arms. Nothing doingp'
Mr.. Tierney beams, smiling broadly.
Thank you," he says politely; pardon the

and they go downstairs, and out Mr. Tierney

to- Her next Broadway chance was in Ring
Two" The title was prophetic: it rang just
two nights. Then came The Male Animal"
and fame for our heroine. She got the ngenue
lead in this, did fine job attracting wide
notice to her performance, and the play was
tremendous success. 1t still is playing on the
road, but without Miss Tierney.
Which brings us to the second man in her
career.
The first was her father; the second was
Daryl Zanuck.
As most executives in Hollywood do, MIR.
Zanuck, one of the larger big shots at the
Twentieth Century-Fox studios, likes to take
busman's holidays His idea of vacation is
ten days spent in New York in feverish search
of new players, new stories. and other appur-
tenances.
He was in New York when The Male
Animal" was approaching the end of its Broad
way run Taking along henchman to whom
he could give orders, Mr. Zanuck - who had
been told about Miss Tierney - went to see
the play. He was impressed with the young
lady, told his companion that she was
natural ingenue for the movies, directed that
she be signed up at once.
After the show they went to the Stork Club.
There Mr.. Zanuck saw, dancing upon the
floor of the club, such vision of feminine
lovelness as never before had met his pro-
fessional eye.

Her first assignment in Hollywood was to
play opposite Henry Fonda in The Return
of Frank James. She was nomnally the lead
ing woman in the play, but in fact it wasn't
much of part. She did very we'll, though for
her first time before camera, and was signed
to long term contract by the studio. After
this came more difficult and bigger leading
part, that of Lady Barbara in 'Hudson's
Bay" She got excellent reviews, and her
status as an aspirant to real stardom was
confirmed.
The next job she was assigned to was cal
culated to show whether or not Miss Tierney,

Now Comes the Explanation

AL of which is nuts and calls for an explana-
ton. In the first place. made up the actual
dialogue out of my head, based on Miss Tier
ney's general description with the words
roughed in. But the situation itself - the
events leading up to the tragedy, which we
have not come to yet - goes back a few
months before this.
Miss Tierney was deb, which is another
way of saying that she was young, pretty, and
had some fifteen or 50 dresses, all of them
paid for. She lately had been graduated from
an exclusive New England school and was
ready for what is popularity termed "whirl
at society,"" She was formally launched, but
the whirl itself didn't materialize. She would,
she told her family, have none of it; and she
announced her intention of going on the stage.
Aghast, they pointed out that she had no
training or experience of any kind. That,
Gene told them in effect, was just too bad.
She'd learn. She was going to be an actress.
This brought on an old-fashioned family
tear session. Here they had planned a nice,

KNOX
 IN CONFERENCE

Washington, Aug. 12-(UP)-Sec- retary of Navy Frank Knox con- fers today with l.. H. Korndorff, president of the Federal Shipbuild- ing and Drydock O., on the com- pany's offer to turn its Kearney, N. J., plant over to the navy for immediate possession and opera tion."
 Defense officials said that Knox livery likely" would accept in order to get the plant operating again with the greatest possible speed. It has been closed five days by Q strike of 14.000 members of the In- dustrial Union of Marine and Ship building Workers (CIO) and nearly $500 900 900 worth of defense orders are held up.
 Knox sum- 9ned Korndorff here for a conference after the company had said it would rather relinguish control of its plant than accept the National Defense Mediation boards recommendation that 1t grant a limited" union shop to its work CTS.
 The offer was made after 1t had been reported here that the gov- ernment was ready to take over the plant if the strike was not settled by Wednesday.
 Officials believed that if Knox accepted, the company, which is subsidiary of United States Steel, probably wouldn't regain control during the emergency. The shift in management would change the plant from private to public status, and its workers would be on the navy payrolls.
