 BOTH GIRLS HOLD

 Those weren't empty words. Sarah. a commissioned officer in the WHAT'S (Women's Auxiliary Air Foroce), is no make-beIieve sol- dierette; she fills responsible post with responsible duties that can mean success or failure for many an RAF fighter sweep that crosses the Channel to engage the enemy. Sergeant Mary fills highly tech- n!cal spot in an anti-aircraft sec- tion and actually will participate in action If and when raiders ap- pear over her post, some distance from London.
 Mary reminds you of no one so much as an American college girl. Though she never has been in the United States. she knows the words and music of all recently popular American songs, and huns them and dances to them Perhaps not one American girl in ten could like Mary Churchill, recite the words of "Ballad for Americans" ("1t explains America to me as nothing else has" she said). She has . crush on Lieutenant Jimmy Stewart, formerly of Hollywood, though she has only screen &C., quaintance with him.

ROIE didn't even try to fool Elva, and he
couldn't fool himself He was through.
~ The act was 'corny." That's what they
called it. He knew he d never be booked again.
His name = "Mantelo, the Marvellous" -
had been printed smaller and smaller on the
bilboards and nearer the bottom on the list
ing. Now it was to disappear completely.
Who gives a damn whether or not you
can pull rabbit out of hat? That was funny
when Noah entertained the animals in the
ark - but it's corny now. 1t stinks" That's
what Max Fortner had said, and when Max
Fortner quit booking you. you were through.
Theatrical people didn't sink lower than
Max. Max was bottom.
Mantelo wouldn't even have gone to the
theater that night except that they still
owed him his pay Three days they owed him.
He'd have to 60 through with it again - for
the money. And tonight there would be no
rabbit to pull out Of the hat. There would be
no beautiful blonde either to put in the casket
and cut in half - to the jeers of his audience.
His father had taught him the tricks when he
was boy. Never 60 through performance
without the rabbit act Joie. It's sure-fire
winner" That's what his father had said
and he had never gone through one without
it. But tonight there would be no rabbit
Tonight the white rabbit - "Gardena,"
they called her - lay on the bed under the
frail, feverish hands of Mantelo's daughter,
Birdie "She wants to keep the rabbit with
her," Elva had whispered "Oh, Joie, could
you get along without the rabbit and with
out me? can't leave her. It's 1O4 now -
her temperature. The doctor said -"
Mantelo interrupted her. Honey, neither
you nor the rabbit can help me now anyway
1t doesn't matter. only wish l could stay
with her too, but you know - the pay ="
''Yes, dear, you must go through with it"
his wife said.
Mantelo leaned over and kissed the hot
little cheek of the child. Then he kissed the
weary, cosmetic worn face of his wife, who
had been "the beautiful blonde in-his act
all through the years.
AS MANrELo laid out the equipment on his
table, his hands trembled. Three days pay
- four, counting tonight - then no more.
What would he do? There was the life in
surance, of course. He could borrow on it,
but if he borrowed, how would he pay back?
If Elva and the kid could cash in on it now -
Yes, that was better. that was the only
way . His nimble fingers felt too heavy for
his hands as he arranged his trick deck. his
disappearing boxes, his magic wand. There
was no magic now to save him.

spoke to him. They knew, OF course. "How's
Birde?" was all they could say. Lester patted
his shoulder. Joie turned his face away.
Flossie. the washed-up opera singer, came
over too. Listen, jolt" she said. MY Uncle
Beck has farm in Illinois and you and Elva
and Birdie might like to 60 out there to fatten
Birdie up before you come back for the fall
bookings" They all knew and were trying
to make things easy for him. Pretending he'd
book in the fall
Even the two Brghties - the little blonde
tap dancer and her black haired partner -
spoke to him. 'Hiya Joie give EN- the
works. fela." the boy said.
Sure. sure" said Mantelo.
where's the rabbit? Where's Gardenia?"
the blonde asked. Il want to pet her.
Mantelo couldn't answer, but it didn't
matter. The two young dancers were off to-
gether, whispering excitedly to each other.
They were on the way up. Their names were
getting bigger and bigger on the billboards
and listed higher. Already they'd been no
ticed by important eyes. They we're just
marking time until the end of their contract
to rise to real lights. "Spencer's out there"
Mantelo heard the boy say boy! Cire,
babe, plenty. This means but everything.
Spencer! Get it?"
nc
booker in the business" Well, it didn't mat
ter anyway, because Mantelo was finished.
His feet would feel the stage beneath them
for the last time tonight. And tomorrow night
perhaps his feet would feel the earth be-
meath them for the last time -.
Manifold" 1t was his call His card was
out. The drums rolled, as they always had.
Mantelo ran onto the stage. For the first
time in all his years as performer, he tripped
and sprawled beside his table. He pulled
himself up and for moment felt hot tears
of defeat in his eyes. Then he forced his lips
into the contour of a smile and bowed stif1y.
The audience rocked with laughter
Ignoring the ridicule, he pulled out his
aged deck of cards. That strange heaviness
was still in his hands, but he tipped the cards
about as best he could, racing his tongue
through his usual patter. And so, ladies and
gentlemen, where is the ace?" With that, he
reached to the center of the pack to draw out
the designated card. The entire pack fell
from his shaking hands - aces showered
about him. The audience screamed their jeers
Mantelo was an old trouper He hadn't
suffered from stage fright since those first
childhood appearances when he had carried
the great red-satin-lined cape for Tario, the
Magician - his father. But tonight, strange
fearfulness added its weight to the burden
