CHAPTER ONE

Syria Verne was white with rage.
Where did that fussy photographer
get the idea he could tell her off in
front of other people? And threaten
her! She'd show him.
The doorman of the Maison Res
taurant raised his eyebrows as she
swished out and hailed a passing
cab. He blew his whistle belatedly,
but she paid no attention. Her tenn
pies throbbed. She never should
have made the engagement in the
first place. She gave the driver the
address of her apartment
"Over my dead body-er yours"
Pierre had a nerve grabbing her
arm and saying things like that!
The last month ought to have shown
him it was all over. Just because
she was kind enough to give him
date, he didn't have to pull that
possessive stuff!
Sure he'd taken some swell pic
lures of her. Sure he'd got her face
plastered on the back of every maya
zine through that cigarette contract.
But that was last year. Did he think
she had to go on being grateful for
ever?
The cab pulled up TO her apart
ment building. She paid the driver
and walked in.
The elevator boy said: Good eve
ming, Miss Verne. Nice night out,
isn't it," She was too preoccupied
to answer. Why did people have to
utter such banalities, she wondered
feetingly. She made an effort to
forget the evenings incident.
She had enough TO worry about
without being threatened by a mere
photographer. A girl had career
TO think about. What did Pierre
have to do with getting the pent-
house? Nothing! Would he have
been thoughtful enough to send her
to Europe? Never! Had he ever
given her furs or diamonds? Would
he ever have given her a present Of
a check for five thousand dollars?
Could he have gotten her a contract
in the movies? 1t was ridiculous.
Where did Pierre get off acting as
though he owned her just because
he took her out to dinner? Oh, he
was still in love with her, no doubt
but that was old stuff!
The elevator seemed to crawl up
ward. A kaleidoscope rush Of
thoughts raced through her mind.
What a coincidence to run into
10
old Argus! Maybe he could help her
untangle the filthy mess. Why did
he keep harping on Martinelli,
though? She bit her lip and sighed.
There was a pretty kettle of fish
Martinelli and Carstairs and Flagg
and Sturgis. Pierre Sturgis could
20 jump in the lake, after tonight!
The elevator door opened. She
could hear the phone ringing inside.
Good night, Miss Verne" said
the elevator boy.
Good night" she said, hurriedly
searching her bag for the key.
"Brrr - brrr -brr =" rang the
,hone. Where the deuce was that
sey? She hshed around amongst
compacts, lipsticks. hairpins, hand
kerchiefs and loose change.
"Brrr-brrr-brrr-"
Suddenly she remembered the
Leave Word Service. Why hadn't
they answered the phone7 What
was she paying them for? Then she
glanced hastily at her wrist watch
and understood. 1t was just after
midnight.
"Brrr-brrr-brrr-"
She finally found the key, inserted
IL in the lock, opened the door and
switched on the light.
"Brrr -- brrr - brrr - That
would be Carstairs, she thought. |
He'd promised to call her at twelve
She half ran across the living room
and reached for the telephone. n IT.

caused activities. All this has result
ed in an unusual increase in our total
volume of business.
You and all the other users of our
electric service have q right to share
in the benefits of this extra business

"What is sound way of distribu-

Diva Tells Of Singing in Russian
Spanish Role in Chinese Theoter
lrro Petinu Here
For Concert With
Symphony Tomorrow

Singing in Russian the role of the
Spanish heroine Carmen in a
Chinese opera house was typical of
cosmopolite IRA Petina.
Miss Petina, who won acclaim last
season for her performance of Car
men with the Metropolitan Opera
Co, was born in Russia and grew
up in China. She speaks English,
Russian, French, Italian and "can
swear in Chinese"
In 1880, after singing one season
with the Russian Opera Co., her
family sold a Guarnerius violin to
make it possible for the singer to
come to the United States. At the
Curtis Institute in Philadelphia she
was granted an addition and given
a scholarship. Within three years
she made" the Metropolitan.
Because 81 just don't stay in one
place long enough" the small, dark
eyed singer is not married, she said
yesterday at press conference in
Constitution Hall, where she will
sing tomorrow night with the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra.
Until her success last season, she
was known at the Metropolitan,
Chicago, San Francisco and Teatro
de Colon (Buenos Aires opera
houses principally for comedy roles
During the summer seasons, she
sang with light opera companies,
last year starring with Richard
Bonelli on the Pacific Coast in the
Boris Morros production of "The
Waltz King" for the first act of
which she designed her own cos

the leading role in Song of Nor

Light Opera Co.
Miss Petina finds light opera very
strenuous" because of the need for
talking over the orchestra.
Singers seem not to know where
to place the voice while talking"
she declared.
But she knew where to place her
voice" that first time she substituted
In the role of Carmen on eight
hours notice, for the next morning
the singer was acclaimed "at last a
real Carmen" by the critics.
The stage production Carmen

Petina thought, but "as an opera it
Is very strange" She believes the
work can be made into very good
movie "as drama, but not as an
opera"
Next week the singer will sing a
new role to her, the opera "Mignon. u

to 60 for priority, so she called
the Offlce of War Information.
The girl who answered hastily
turned her over to another girl.
She repeated her request. The Sec
ond girl transferred her to a man
who referred her to an official of
the War Production Board.
You don't need a priority for
that, said the WPB official, You
can get the wood without a priority
The housewife protested that the
lumberman said she couldn't, but
the WPB official brushed that aside.
Lumbermen, he said, can sell up to
5000 feet of wood a month without

She called back the lumberman.
If she had leaky roof or broken
steps or an emergency like that,
said the lumberman, quoting an
order, she could get the lumber
without sa priority. Clothespins
weren't mentioned in the order.
Undaunted, the housewife called
the WPB official again. Well, If she
insisted on getting a priority, he
