Incorporated IN TWO PARTS—PART ONE IT was raining fiercely in Holly wood. Huge luminous blue clouds rolled over the mountains. Rain drops splashed on the half deserted streets as though drawn by strong and angry hands. A forlorn group waited in the outer room of The Gen eral Casting Office. A window was jerked open and a young man said tersely, "Nothing today, folks.’’ It was slammed with a loud noise. The group walked slowly toward the street and disappeared in the rain slashed weather. "I always feel like the executioner ‘•y«ap, / know her tickets punched one way -o ehort life” when I send people away like that.’’ The young fellow who had slammed the window turned to three men seated about a table. "No one asked them to be actors.’’ said a man whose temples were touched with gray. "But it’s a tough life just the same.’’ The speaker was beyond forty, and strong as the oak chair in which he sat. "You’ve never had to rustle for a dime, have you, Kent" The man with the gray temples looked at his powerful questioner. "Not exactly.” "I thought not," was the return. "Well, I have—" "But you came through.” The speaker rubbed his gray temple. “I’ll say," ejaculated the young fel low who had slammed the window’. "Fifty cents a word—ttie highest priced interviewer in the world.” He looked at the turgid water run ning down the window. t "That’s what you think, said the interviewer, whose heavy shoulders, immense head and soft blue eyes gave no evidence of the penetration for which he was famous. "There’s a piece of my heart in every stoiy. He glanced about as if expecting contradiction, and resumed. "They re all blind horses going over the same bridge—the big yarn never makes the silly page of glamour unless success iS "People don’t want to read about failure” The man ’with the gray temples, handsome, debonair, mo\ed ^"Not until they know’ what it is.

All they’ll ever get is what the little boy shot at—nothing!’ The last word was like a bullet from a gun. "A knock came to the door. The casting director stood with June Blain. "She was a picture! Her com-silk hair hung in immense curls. There was something infinitely pathetic about her—the budding beauty of a woman combined with the wistfulness of a child—who sees a dream far off and cannot be made to realize that dreams at last are ended. But you soon forget all that in the glory of her eyes. If I were a poet I might say that they were bright with the fire in her soul. " ‘Miss Hope,’ the casting director said, 'there’s a small part in your next picture that I think Miss Blain here! can play. She’s a direct contrast to | you—eyes, hair, profile.’ " ‘And far more beautiful,’ Barbara said, looking at the young girl, who stood abashed, her cheeks the color of red apples, before the famous cinema beauty. “ And where are you from, Miss Blain' Barbara asked. “'Keokuk. lowa.’ " 'lndeed —I’ve been there —it’s on the Mississippi—the river rolls like a horseshoe around the town.’ Barbara Hope's eyes danced —‘I was born below Quincy.’ " 'Really,' June's voice raised. ‘“Yes, indeed!’ Forgetful of make believe, Barbara was a girl along the river. (To Be Continued) A Hollywood Samaritan JIM TULLY <Copyright 193" by Jim Tully> Published by Special Arrangement With The Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate. Incorporated IN TWO PARTS—PART TWO Barney Sloan sighed in memory— " She wasn’t so dumb. Oh, well, Jarne gan and the other big shots moved in later—but what did I give a damn— her heart was as big as the main wait ing room of the Grand Central, and lovers were coining and going—some were late for the train and had to walk —but I had an easy chair near the in formation clerk—when the banquet was over, Dolores would telephone me. Whatever I am as an interviewer came right then —Dolores would say, "What do you think of so and so. Barney?’— and I’d get out the knife and start to dissect." The grout) did not move. "One night I was there when Jona than roared up in a car longer than a Pullman. Dolores was in a leather chair and a copper-colored maid played a victrola. She loved Caruso in ’Carmen and Alma Gluck’s ‘Land of the Sky Blue Water’ and the maid played them over and over. Caruso singing from the grave vibrant as Gabriel with a horn gave me the jitters and I got tighter n a drum in a circus parade. In walked Jonathan Mann. He was making more in an hour than I was in a week—but a Mick full of liquor has no superior— and he was still the same sweet guy as when we took the bus together. ’So glad to see you here. Barney.’ he said. ‘You’ll have a chance to write the first feature story on Dolores—she’s signing a contract with Arkwright tomorrow —a thousand a week the first film—it doubles the second—and goes on.’ “The needle scratched the record. ‘Hey, Minnie,’ Dolores called, ‘let Caruso go home —he’s tired.’ She turned —’How much did you say, Jonathan?’ And he said it again. ‘“Well,’ Dolores shook her shoulders, ‘that’ll do.’ She didn’t know what money was—he began to tell Dolores the out line of the story she was to star In— it was a lot of piffle—another movie— but Jonathan had enthusiasm. You’d have thought it was Balzac telling the plan of the Comedic Humalne—that’s a quality all these fellows have—even Jamegan here—they’re all Barnums— every film’s the greatest show on earth to them.” Jarnegan reached for Betty’s hand and said. “You’re right. Barney—we’re putting wood on the fire to scare our souls away.” He kissed Betty’s hand. "Pardon me, Beautiful—you know what I mean.” “Yea, Jack— but you and—Jonathan —had so much to give.” “Jonathan had—not me—he was a thousands across the deep blue eky.

Un ' i 5 ^ ed ' °£ c °urse he went to Dolores stepmother and offered to de fray all the funeral expenses. The poor old woman was fluttery as a feather in a breeze— and right away he gave her two thousand dollars. She was so upset s*}o. forgot she’d made an arrangement with the undertaker—Dolores’ body was to lie in state at his parlors—and tor this fine advertisement there would be no Ju ne , ral expenses. In the hurry and nurry this detail was not mentioned to Jonathan and the distracted step- J £ or K°t to return the money. But Dolores, like a tiger lily on a bed of satin, drew a hundred thousand people to the funeral parlor—and that was the end of that for all concerned except Jonathan. He was restless as Hamlet for a while—and then he met a girl who was beginning to go places as an actress. She was little more than a child—playful and friendly as a kitten—not a malicious bone in her body—she looked enough like Dolores to be a twin and Jonathan was pre sumably in love again.” Barney glanced at Betty James. Her eyes were on the Persian rug. “Soon Effie Lind was deluged with flowers, candy, jewelry. She was under 20 and he was beyond 40. He had been content without marriage to any of the glamorous girls. Now, by some mad ness. he wanted to marry Effie. There was a technicality involved. Though Edna Le Brun was his wife in name only, he had never had the heart nor the inclination to put her aside. At least that was the general assumption. He made an airplane journey to New York to discuss it with her. He returned harried and worn. What might have been a simple procedure for another was to him a labyrinth of despairs and indecisions. It was madness, no doubt, too complex to explain away in one lifetime. "It is still a trifle misty, but I can see it much plainer now. At any rate his doorbell rang one midnight. In stepped his demented wife. Here was the master scenarist confronted with a situation he had never devised on the screen. She was now lucid and calm. She’d been a well known actress at the beginning of their romance. He was nobody. He’d been everything to her. She would add to his misery and joy by her own type of punishment. When he brought presents to the institution where she was incarcerated, she would refuse to see him. "The wrath of a woman prematurely aged and tired, the traces of a last lingering beauty were upon her. "In a city hot for scandal, here was the big vam. I’d known her for a dozen years, had carried messages to her when she was out of the asylum. No move had been made between them without me. Poor Jonathan had gone a far road from the days of the little black bus. She was on his neck then, and he succeeded in spite of her—and here she was still around his neck. I thought for a minute of the terrible injustice of life—then gave it all up as too hard a riddle—something had to be done now. "So I stepped in like a major general and lied like a corporal. I painted a picture of life made young—and the two of them happy once again. She couldn’t believe all she read in the papers—and even if Jonathan did marry another woman, he would always be the same to her. There wasn’t a word of sense to the whole business — but she seemed satisfied. "I’m no saint, God knows, and I often think morals are the left over pancakes in a cheap boarding house —but when I took her home that night the motor didn’t race as fast as my brain. She kept looking straight ahead. I’d never seen so much misery in a woman’s eyes in all my misspent life. My heart ached when she turned in at her small hotel—that girl with the fancies in her brain saying. 'Goodby, Barney—stay with him as I know you will—he needs you.’ “Well. I went back to Jonathan’s in the morning and let myself in quietly. And there was Jonathan —with a hole in his head and a blue revolver at his side with a towel wrapped around it. “I’d been around rooms of death be fore, and even if it was suicide I didn’t intend to leave my fingerprints every where—so I wiped off the door knobs with my handkerchief, put the pass key in my pocket and left the apartment. I could hear the telephone ringing but didn’t stop. My mind was on Jonathan’s wife. I didn’t want her dragged into it. So I did the smart thing, which was nothing. No one knew she was in Hollywood anyhow. “Happening to think of the pass key. I wiped it off with my handkerchief and tossed it near the curbing, never thinking what might happen. "Tlio story broke in the afternoon Charles M. RUSSELL PRINTS 50 ^ en ^ s Postpaid in the United States. A complete list of subjects and picture sizes sent upon request. Montana Newspaper Association GREAT FALLS. MONTANA papers. It was the nine days’ wonder of the newspaper world. Every dead I cinder in poor Jonathan’s life was made to glow. You’d have thought he was four Casanovas rolled into one, instead of a poor devil in search of an illusion' his intelligence might have told him he never could find. “The first thing you know that damn key, three times magnified, was on the front page—found near the famous suicide's apartment. The reporters be sieged my house. Could I identify the portrait of Edna Le Brun? Though it was an ancient picture, I knew it was she, but hesitated to identify it right away. When I finally did the reporters rushed away with the news. "The next morning my identification and Edna’s picture were on the third page. A headline of the front page told the rest. Informed of Jonathan’s death, Edna Le Brun had jumped off a boat bound for Alaska.” There was a stir in the room. The wind again pushed the door open. As Barney Sloan closed it, he heard a i slight noise. Betty James was sobbing. He stopped talking for a minute. It might have been a movie set. A radio I crooner could be heard down the beach: “There little girl, don’t ery— They have broken your heart, I know, And the rainbow gleams Of your youthful dreams. Are things of the long ago.” When the words died away, Jack Jamegan lifted Betty in his arms. "My God—you’re worth them all. I’d pawn my soul in hell for you.” "Poor Jack,” she said, kissing him through wet eyes. “You’re a little boy, : who’s been badly hurt, like him.” i Harry Kent had a far away expres sion. "A lot of people went hungry when ;he died. I’ve seen him empty his pockets to a beggar on the street." Benson began to hum. I “Shut up, nightingale,” commanded Jamegan. The surge of the sea became louder. All listened to the threnody of mourn ful sound. “And they had a funeral sermon," continued Barney. “A ham actor told how naive he was, how child-like. He kept saying, ‘Jonathan was just a child’ —this silly and shallow jargon about one of the greatest men who’d ever worked in Hollywood.” “Poor devil." said Jarnegan, "he went from Sarah Bernhardt to Effie Lind— that’s a far journey—but I should solve the riddles of the universe. It’s late— and I’ve got to be on the set at nine.” “Yeap—he liked them glamorous— to hear the wind rattling the tinsel in their hearts.” Harry Kent moved toward the door. “But I’m like Jack nuts to it all. Come on. Betty—l’m tak ing you home—you must have your beauty sleep." Betty rose. Again Jarnegan kissed her hand. "Damn the luck—if he’d only married you." She smiled before the group. "Let us drink a farewell toast to him.” Lovely as dawn and vivid as bright blue weather, she tipped the edge of each glass with her own. “May the wind be gentle to his glorious ashes.” “Amen,” said Jarnegan, reverting to the religion of his childhood. She put the glass down. “Barney," she said, “I wonder if he realized how much you understood.” Barney smiled wearily, “I wonder if you did. Betty?" "Yes—very much—Goodnight.

"Yes—but she wouldn’t," returned Barney. "He’d been wanting her for a dozen years. There wasn’t a minute he wouldn’t have thrown all the others aside—and she knew IV—and she knows that I knew.” "What the hell was wrong?” asked Jamegan. "Well, she always told him he was married to Edna Le Brun in the sight of God. He couldn’t get it out of her head. Edna Le Brun had to be dead first. Why, he wanted to marry Effie Lind to forget Betty James. It was crazy as hell—but that’s the way it was." “Well, Betty’s a jewel worth having. The only untouchable in Hollywood. They put her heart in the grave with him." His eyes followed Barney’s to the cloud above Catalina island. In several minutes Barney said, “Remember the night, Jack, we all three talked of the hereafter and Jonathan said that no matter what happened he’d never commit suicide?” “So what?" asked Jamegan. "Nothing—except his wife killed Jonathan that night." “How the devil do you know that?" “She wrote me a letter before she jumped off the boat. It was mailed at Vancouver." “Why didn’t you say something?" “What for—it’ll be all the same in a thousand years. I just burned the letter —she’d got it in her head that poor Jonathan was a heart breaker and had to be killed.” “And everybody missed that?” said Jarnegan. “Not exactly—it might have been hushed up. The high moguls just about decided that enough was enough—even in Hollywood." Jarnegan looked in amazement at Barney. “Well. I’ll be damned —you writers know everything.” “Not everything. Jack —we can only surmise what’s in Betty’s heart. She wouldn't marry Jonathan until Edna Le Brun was dead—and when she was, it was too late—but even that’s not the terribly ironical thing—Jonathan al ways defended Hollywood—and he added the weirdest chapter to its tinsel history.” “Oh, well,” said Jarnegan, "murder will out—but this one didn’t.” —THE END— South Dakota state college calls sparks from gasoline engines in the drought areas a definite menace. mSISSCK KENTUCKY STPAICHT BOURBON WHISKEY Thl» £m whUkey la M proof and IM yaon old aad ana diatfllad in KaatucAp by nativa Kaatuckiaaa COM 578, J PTS.: 57C, PTS.; NOS. 57E, QTS.
