He took his eyes from Jarnegan. But
then the cheap people have some

More cheapness-and gall" said
Barney Sloan.
Yes, Hollywood is strange place,
Harry Kent continued. Its even
stranger when you know the people
who go over the top. Sometimes think
the bigger boob you are, the more
you're apt to appeal to the mob"
You're bitter, Harry" said Barney

hell of an ending for an otherwise in

Don't take it so seriously, Harry"
smiled Jarnegan. Suppose the club
women liked you-then you'd have to
make free speeches on the morals of
the movies
Richard Benson cut in. Hes still
right about Carmen Sylvia though. I
get his drift. She's the most popular
woman on the screen, and she used to
be flunky in a restaurant"
THAT wouldn't be bad" said Jar
negan. "A lot of us have been worse.
But she's ashamed of it,
THE poor old gal" went on Rich
ard Benson. "She waited on table in
Iowa the last year I played there
Must have been so years ago-or more.
I never used to believe in luck till
met Carmen-her real name was Ma
tilda Jenks-and her father traded
mules up and down the Mississippi
river. I always thought he was the
one to get some place-even on a mule.
Instead of that it was his daughter
She is a great individual at that. It's
hard to say what she has-but it's
something
Luck" put in Harry Kent.
That's partly right" said Richard
Benson, but other people have had
luck-thats not enough. remember
when we were in stock in Des Moines
it was terrible burlesque show. The
travelling statesmen married our girls
as fast as we could break them in.
Finally Carmen joined the troupe.
She was so ugly not even the fellow
who sold plows wanted her. So she'd

Sylvia, and listen to him brag between

we'll"
Yes" she said. thanks to Mr.. Jar
negan.'
And yourself" put in the director.
The judge looked at the darkening
sea.
Well" he said to Mrs. Raler, Its
a lovelier place than Rockland."
I'll say" said Richard Benson
They had gas lights when I played
there"
They still have" said Harry Kent.
They turn them on in place of the
SUM-"
I'VE always thought Rockland very
lovely, didn't we, Betty?" Mrs. Raler
said quietly, her mind going over the
happy years with her adopted daugh
ter.
Jarnegan smiled at Betty.
1T looked like rain for While-but
you never can tell in California. Let's
go inside" suggested Jarnegan.
They gazed from the dining room
at the cloud spangled moonlight on
the Pacific.
1T reminds me of a DeMille set
it's so different laughed Harry Kent.
Not a piece of gilt in sight"
The small talk of Hollywood fol-
lowed.

smiled at his master.
Jarnegan thrummed on the table
after he had seated the guests. THE
sky's the limit here he said. No
body's ever thrown out, even if he likes
the food"
Dinner over. they stood near the.
fireplace of the huge living room
I'VE hate to go right after dinner.
but that's the bargain, Mr.. Jarnegan.
The plane leaves Burbank in an hour.
We promised MIR. ISaacs we'd see him
off to New York.
"Okay.' said Jarnegan, hurry back.
Tell Isaacs once more the picture'll
be done on schedule. I've been getting
in under the wire for him on time
for over 20 years-but he has to have
something to worry about"
We're taking Judge Laird with us
for company-do you mind?" asked
Betty.
mot at all. Bring him back" said
Jarnegan.
The roar of the sea could be heard
as the door opened. The remaining
guests seated themselves near the fire
place.
Gazing at the burning logs, Richard
Benson said, Its good to watch the
fire on a night like this"
"Or any other night" said Harry
Kent.
The clock chimed again. Kent
glanced up.
'Where'd I read about the fellow
who kept clock near him so he could
tell every minute how much older he
was getting"
Some movie magazine" said Bar
ney Sloan.
There followed sardonic laughter. No
one spoke for minute.
Il like clocks" said Jarnegan.
They're the only things that don't
lie in Hollywood. No matter how tough
the going gets, they keep a straight
face and never interfere. That's very
unusual here"
I'll say it is" said Richard Benson.
They're not professional mothers any
how" His eyes went toward the door
That little girl who just left here
should go far. Her mother never in
terferes"
That's right" said Harry Kent,
"she lets the girl alone. More mothers
have ruined their daughters careers
in Hollywood than you can shake a.
stick at. I've never known film moth |
er yet that had any sense"
I'm glad you said film mother"
said Barney Sloan.
Il might almost say film daughter
Kent half smiled, "but then I'd hardly |

wood. Nobody discovers anybody here.
He just gives them a chance
Same things" snapped Sloan.
But different" said Jarnegan, "a
fellow gets too much screen credit for
discovering people and things in this
world-America, for instance-or the
Pacific ocean-who the hell couldn't
discover them-the same with Betty
Raler!"
Have it your own way. Jack" Bar
ney smiled.
"Well-shes a great actress-and a
splendid girl-what would the world
be without such young wonderland
what is it with them?"
ut could be a worse place." said
Barney Sloan Things are about even
now-everybody gets his ice-the rich
in the summertime poor in the win
ter"
That's right-but there's no ice
about Betty Raler-but here she
comes" said Jarnegan.
She came before them in a swirl of
beauty. Her dark eyes were wells in
which could be seen the laughter and
the misery of the world. Large and
expressive, they were fires that smoul-
dered. Her yellow hair, in direct con-
trast to her dark eyes. rolled in waves
from a high white forehead. There was
in each slender movement the sinuous
quality of an electric cable.
The woman with her, beyond 40 was
a dried pool on which reflected the
vivid shadow of the younger woman.
you've met my mother-Mrs. Raler?''
Betty said.
Yes" Jarnegan looked at Sloan. I'll
speak for Barney also. We've had the
pleasure" He turned to Betty. You
did very well-off the set at six and
here on time"
YES" Betty smiled. "It was thought
full of you to let us go when you did,
IT had to-" said the director-"Our
leading man was beginning to drool-
Farol is such ham that when he gets
tired, the cloves fall right out of

Hes very nice" though" said
"Yes-if you like ham," said Jarne-
gan, but it's always Friday with me
and never 60 for meat"
But he can't help being what he Is,
Jack" said Barney Sloan.
That's the hell of it." returned Jar
negan.
But the public likes him." put in
Betty's mother.
That's right" assented Jarnegan,
that's why he's got the lead in Bull
lets and Blondes" He glanced at
Betty. There's something about a
pretty blonde in gangster picture
oh, well-itu make money-and old
Isaac's down to his last ten million"
Betty was solemn for second.
I'm sorry to have to rush to the
airport right after dinner, but you un-
derstand, Mr.. Jarnegan," she said.
ayes, I understand Isaac's flying to
new York-you have to see him off.
You've got to be nice to the producer
even Of Bullets and Blondes" he said.
But it won't get me very far" said
Betty.
That's according to how far you
want to go in an alley" said Jarnegan.
you've got everything the tears
a woman never sheds"
Other arrivals, Judge Leo Laird,
Harry Kent, the screen matinee idol,
and Richard Benson, the famous char
acter actor, were announced.
The judge, a world figure, with a
huge head and slight body. had the
manner of tired child.

good story. Hollywood's full of them
not having money or success and then
getting it is always a good yarn. That
little girl who just left here is the
greatest yarn in Hollywood right now.
One of the greatest that ever came
here. It's all off the record-even to
a feature writer like you, Barney"
Jarnegan looked at his friend. 1T
came to me all of a sudden-when l
gave her a screen test for The Sands
of Time Original title, huh. We tried
to get something to indicate mother
hood. Well, she was terrific in the
test. She was a prospective young
mother in the film.
