friend of prewar Paris days, Charles
Boyer, helped her get the role so
she could pay the rent for a back
street Hollywood apartment. Also,
so she could buy something to eat
besides crackers and cheese.
Madeleine, you see, was penniless
when she arrived in movietoWn two
and a half years ago.
She had left Paris just a few
hours before the Germans marched
into the city Driving her fancy
automobile and with her jewels and
$4,000 in cash in her purse, Made

~ STOPPED DOSING
MY CONSTIPATION
A YEAR AG0!"
Says Happy
KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN User

=, If you are still dosing your con-
stipation, don't fail to read this
unsolicited letter!
"I'd been troubled with common consti-
patton for years. Tried many kinds of
medicines for it. Then. just about year
hgo, l tried KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN. I
ate it regularly, without missing day. 1t
helped so much, have not taken one dose
Il confined myself to any diet - Mr.. S. P.
lLoebe, Charleston, Missouri.
Sounds like magic, doesn't it?
But, scientists say, KELLOGG'S
,ALL-BRAN can really "get at"
common cause of constipation -
tlack of dietary "cellulosic" ele-
lnents-because it is one of Ma
,ture's most effective sources of
these elements! They help the
friendly colonic flora fluff up and
prepare the colonic contents for
easy elimination. KELLOGG'S
,ALL-BRAN is not a purgative!
Doesn't "sweep you OUT! It's a
jgentle-acting, Regulating" food!
If you have constipation of
this kind, eat KELLOGG'S
A IL B r A N, or several
ALL-BRAN mullins regularly.
Drink plenty of water. See if you
don't find real relief. Insist on
genuine ALL-BRAN, made only by
kellogg's in Battle Creek.

Chilean visa. Madeleine sold her
automobile and her jewels for
money to complete" the arrange
ments. Il figured" she said, that
once in Chile I could eventually
get to America"
NEW WORLD
A few weeks later Madeleine,
with a joyful heart, boarded the
small, dirty Portuguese steamer
Quanza in Lisbon. Passage money
cost her another $4,000. But when
the boat docked at Vera Cruz, she
discovered her passport was a fer
gerry. Most of the 200 passengers
on board were in the same predica-
ment. They would have to remain
aboard ship, the captain said, and
return to Lisbon.
On the return trip to Lisbon, the
Quanza docked at Norfolk, Va, to
coal. The passengers Immediately
held a secret meeting Now that the
boat was in an American port, may
be something could be done. A
lawyer on board had an idea.
THE lawyer" Madeleine said,
thought that if the passengers
sued the captain for something,
the sailing would be postponed and
government officials would come
aboard. So we sued the captain for
un6eclared cargo. Well, the boats
sailing wss delayed for two weeks,
and government officials came
aboard in droves"
Through the passengers suit
against the captain, newspaper re-
porters learned of the fraudulent
passport Vaccinations. The story
was widely published and soon be-
came cause celebre" Friends and
immigration authorities interceded
! for the passengers and most of
them were given permanent United
States visas. Madeleine wasn't so
lucky. She was given a Canadian
time to get to Montreal from New
York.
JOURNEYS END
She spent the rest of her money
and most of the two months in a
New York hospital, deathly i'll. FL
nally arriving in Montreal, she took
small role in a French stock COM
pany. Two months later she sue
ceeded in getting a quota number
to enter the United States, and
bought a plane ticket to Holly
wood.

she said, Il didn't even tell the
stage manager I was leaving. I
