newspaper contests for movie try

Movie oldtlmers see a mysterious
resemblance in Betsy to someone
they cannot remember. Hal flops
dismally as a cowboy. Betsy, hand

She's Virginia Perry, once the most
famous actress on the screen and

Virginia Perry! Betsy, who for
so long had been studying and ad
miring the screen and Its people
and Its history, knew the name at
once. She had encountered It
many times In the “fan magazine”

couldn’t see It that way, and di

.the old saying, ‘She’s more to be
pitied than scorned' —"
The woman was approaching
now, and Clare, biting off her whis
pered narrative to Betsy, forced a
grin. Clare, older than the other
girls, and on the strength of an
oft and on studio friendship of sev
eral years’ standing, was more
familiar with Mrs. Perry than the
others, although sharing in com
mon their rather awe-stricken atti

“Loan me your make-up. like a

“Help yourself, Mrs. Perry.”

Virginia put down her make-up

Betsy, at the next stable, wanted to
cover her ears; wanted to run.
But, Instead, she remained glued
to her place, fascinated by this raw
tragedy of real life that was being
unfolded before her astonished
sensesi
"I'm sorry. Ted—" began Vlr
glnla.
“Yeh, the same old— ■■

swore up and down that If we gave
you another chance you wouldn’t

at you We lost two hours —whole

someone offhand to take your place
you'd have been barred from the

“Please, Ted Just this once

Betsy with its degradation even as

We’re looking for someone else for

for he swore he'd have you thrown
out.”
“Ted, please—you must listen."
Virginia, unmindful of parading
her shame before the listening
girls, clutched the fat assistant’s
perspiring hand. “Ted. ) couldn't
help tt this time. Las? night I
came across something that Just
broke me up. Look, Ted—"
With shaking fingers she fished
an old tintype from her frowsy
handbag, and displayed It to the
assistant. He glanced at It a mo

Virginia was crying softly now.

“I was raking through some old
stuff that I though I'd burned fif
teen years ago, when I found this.
It's the picture of my husband and
baby and me before—oh. you
know. Ted.” She was talking In a
low. tense voice now; Inaudible to
the girls at tbs far end of the
room, and almcst so to Betsy and
Clare al band The assistant, de
spite his obvious grim determina
tion to be Indexible, showed signs
of being moved.
“It unnerved me. Ted —sort of
stepped up out of the past and
smashed me In the face I went
to pieces-—and the only way I
could find a bit of rest was In —the
bottle. That's all there was to It,
Ted—little enough, perhaps, but 1
Just couldn't help It —"
The assistant was frowning now,
and wavering. Virginia rested
trembling fingers on his forearm
fine, tapering fingers they were, all
that was left of her former charm.
”1 swear. Ted—l'll do better
from now on. Somehow—l feel
that In finding tbe picture. I’ve
found something else. Something
that's been missing all these years
Something 1 never expected to find
again—and didn’t care about. Now
I do care, and I'll be—a little dif

The assistant bid his compassion

Boss. I'll get McLain to speak up
for you, too. He likes you, and

And come down on the set It'll

While the girls begau to troop
