Jl l\sUy 11 The day that you remember, the day that J forget-Swinburne | Jml COPYRIGHT—RELEASED BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION ... READ THIS FIRST: I» Hollywood following an ingenious maneuver on the part of his young wifi, Janet, Joel Paynter, second-rate Broadway actor, begins work under a short term contract. Meanwhile Janet make a point of cultivating the right people, joins a tennis club and meets Vernon Chester, an important director. Chester asks her to play tennis and have lunch with him. Chester likes Janet and learns inadvertently that she an 4 Joel have been reading a best aclier about to be screened by Chester. HOW GO ON WITH THE STORY: CHAPTER 15 JOEL WAS beginning to get anxious. His contract was up and the studio officials hadn’t said any thing about picking up the option. Meanwhile he was still working on the picture “Husband Hunter” with Tania Jarrett. j Janet was anxious, too, but she i would not let Joel know that. She lhad been,anxious ever since the 'day that Vernon Chester had been ttU their home nearly three weeks (before. She hadn’t told Joel about jit. She hadn’t even told him that jahe had lunched with the director (at the tenins club, j There was no more tennis with (Chester. He was working now, as sembling his cast d working on 'the script for the ambitious picture and Janet had no way of knowing : What had been in his mind after !he had left the house that day. She could only hope that he (would not hold it against Joel that (she had been overly ambitious for (him. She vowed that she would 'never do that again. Yet with the vow fresh in her mind, she called Laura Crowell and j asked her to lunch with her. Laura !was the private secretary of Max 'Browne, a powerful agent. Laura always knew what was going on >tpui Janet had her little way of <irawing it out. “Do you think Joel should have «un agent?” Janet asked Laura. Laura thought it over before she answered, “Yes and no, Jan. If he were big enough to have a worth while agent, his agent could do a lot for him, but Joel hasn’t dis tinguished himself”—Janet felt her 'ears burn but she held her tongue. It wouldn’t have done any good to point out to Laura that in six months a young actor wasn’t like ly to get much of a chance—“but when he does, I probably could get Max interested in him. Os course, today, Max can’t afford to handle anything but the big stars. He has so many of them!” Right then and there Janet de cided that some day Max Browne would want Joel. She didn’t know how soon it was to come. The very day after that lunch eon, Joel telephoned her from the Studio. “Come down at once, dar- Itng,” he said. “Something pretty important has come up and I want <ou to be here.” The exeitement in Joel’s voice was a happy excitement. Janet dressed very carefully in the little black thin wool suit that FIGURES IN BIG TRADE BETWEEN BROWNS, INDIANS % .4* Oral Hildebrand Joe Vosmik Bill Knickerbocker -« nMMn^^MMMMMaII«!

She was there at the moment Joel had asked her to be. Joel was waiting for her in the corridor. His hair looked mussier than usual and his dark eyes burned feverishly. That half shy grin of his broke all over* his face when he saw her. “Blakely has sent for me, Jan,” he whispered, “and ten minutes ago Chester’s secretary came down to me on the set and told me that Chester wants to see me immedi ately after my interview with Blakely!” Chester had sent for him Did that mean . . . Janet was very calm, “Joel, why did Blakely send for you? And should I be here?” “There’s only one reason. He’s going to pick nn my option and I want you l;> . A av. I'm not go ing to let him put anything over on me.” “Wait a minute, darling,” she said slowly. “What makes you so sure he is going to renew your con tract?” “Because Chester wants to see me immediately after. The direc tors around here, my little inno cent, don’t call for actors to say goodby to them.” They were walking down the corridor toward Blakely’s office. Janet halted. “Joel, .*hat did you mean about not letting them put anything over on you?” “Well, if they’ve got something big for me to do and think they can get away with offering me a measly little three hundred a week they’ll . . “You’ll take it, Joel! Three hun dred a week is a lot of money and we’re living very well. I’m glad you asked me to come with you.” An hour later Janet, sitting so small, so self-effacingly in the big leather chair sF goodly distance away from Mr. Blakely’s desk, saw the lines of stubbornness settle around Joel’s mouth. Blakely had just told them that he was going to renew Joel’s con tract for two years at five hundred for the next six months and seven fifty for the next year. Janet watched the danger sig nals in Joel’s face. Joel, she knew, had sensed that the producer was not offering Joel that money un less there was something afoot for him that wag worth while to the studio. And Chester had sent for him. Janet put two and two to gether. She \ prayed that Joel would not spoil the thing that she saw they had to do. Jpel opened his mouth. He said, “Seven-fifty a week . .

DAILY DISPATCH, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, ,1937 to Mr. Blakely who looked Mr though he was only then aware of her presence. “Mr. Blakely, If you please, Joel and I have talked this over. Your option is only for six months more. Now, we thought’* ,—she spoke very softly—“that if you were to pick it up at the same price, three hundred a week for th# next six months we both could see in that event what turns up. You wouldn’t want Joel to tie himself to a contract if he is not likely to show himself worth it, would you?” i The astonished Mr. Blakely for got himself and lighted his cigar. Joel appeared to be paralyzed by what she was saying. “And I’m sure that if, at the end of that time, Joel has proved him self a good person for you, you’d want to offer him the right salary. It’s because we trust you that we are willing to sign again for three hundred a week.” Blakely thought: Women! This one had him and she knew it. She said, “Shall we each think about it over night?” Think about it over night, re flected Blakely, and have her dis cover that Chester was giving the part of Jan to her husband? Not if he knew it! “I’m afraid not, Mrs. Paynter,” he said, picking up the legal form. “I think you kids are foolish,” but if those are your terms we’ll settle for a renewal at the same price and a three-year option at the con clusion.” He had added two years to the option period, Janet noted satisfac torily. Joel picked up the pen as though he were in an unhappy trance. His feeling of unhappiness was not mitigated even when he heard that Chester had cast him for the role of Jan iij “The Dance Was Long”. Y “But don’t you see?” Janet said eagerly. “Blakely was try; z to do the very thing you didn’t want him to put over on you! He want ed you to sign now for five hundred and next year for seven-fifty. This way, you’ll come out much better because, Joel Paynter, you’re going to give that role everything you've got! It’s not the lead, but it is a beautiful character part and if you can’t steal the show from Truman” —Truman was the star —"I’m go ing back east and forget I ever knew you. Then just watch that studio gobble you up and wrap you cozily in a nice contract before any other studio gets you.” “Janet, my litle love,” he said admiringly, “you surprise me! I never knew you had brains. I married you for your beauty.” “Oh, darling,” she said rubbing her nose against his tweed over his heart, “that’s the nieest thing you’ve ever said to me. About my beauty, I mean. And it’s true that I have no brains—l was only read ing your mind. It was really your idea but you had forgotten it.” (To Be Continued) Three Cage Gaines Face The Bulldog Basket Ball Teams During The Week Henderson high school basketball teams faee three foes this week, two of them being engaged on the home court.

Business appears to be booming— even for poets. A weather prophet now predicts ah early spring. Scientists now say that we are in for two more years of stormy weath er, cold winters apd hot summers. By the way—how is that rocket ship, somebody was inventing coming along anyway? The house of representatives in Washington was in darkness when electric service failed. Now congress men know exaetly how the general public feels. One angle you must admit about those Russian treason trials in which prisoners always admit their guilt is that they certainly make life easier for the juries. That looks like an olive branch that Herr Hitler is again holding out to the world. But France and Russia, which countries get the closest look, think Adolf must have cut it off a eactus. A campaign is launched to cut the number of football players on a team from 11 to six. Another improvement Would be to cut spectators from a quart to a half pint. Never judge anything by its size. February is the smallest of the months, yet George Washington and Abraham Lincoln managed to get born in it. i ■ hH| )< Jj||3Bp ; ," k | ' flii^te \. ijl&s. n ■ .'••/■ wmim lfflß||x:x:Mi:;>x=:=>a;:aa;:: a ; fffgßsg«aMMa» t*. « ; P| »»OTu«r«.*iwHr , iv. ■ , . £ V/ ASHIN GT ON A.
