SYNOPSIS
READ THIS FIRST:
INTO TI1K offices of the great Con
solidated Broadcasting company in
search of a chance as a singer walks
KIT RE1LL.Y, small-town songbird
who seeks to make {rood in New York
after a brief radio career in her home
town. Meanwhile
VANCE HEALEY, tamed sports an
nouncer and news commentator. ®s in
conference with the boss,
J. T. GREGORY, who tells Healey
he has been transferred to a much
humbler radio job because of his ir
responsible actions. Though Healey
has not recognized Kit they were
classmates at college.
Having left her name with a request
for an audition. Kit returns to her
rented room, hungry and without the
price of a meal.
CHAPTER TWO
KIT REILLY'S heels made no
sound on the uncarpeted stairs
Kit was walking on her toes. She
wished for no accidental meeting
with her landlady. The angle of
the accidental would have been en
tirely on her side; Mrs. McCarthy
would have welcomed it.
Quick, light steps, more earnest
than eager, brought her to the
third floor landing and the harbor
of her own room.
Opening and closing the door
softly, she reached for the switch
that illuminated the room from a
single overhead bulb. Leaning
against the door, she closed her
eyes, shutting from view the white
iron bed, a sagging wicker rocker
and a single table topped with a
cluttcr of books, a tin bread box
and a small, red plush dachshund.
"Hi, Hercules!" she said to the
latter.
She sucked in her breath.
"Speaking of dogs," she muttered,
and removed her shoes tenderly.
The walk from the Consolidated
building uptown to Greenwich Vil
lage had been a sore one. An
empty stomach and empty hopes
had added no cheer to her odyssey.
The condition of her stomach en
gaged ner as an aromatic scent
suggesting cooking vegetables,
sweeter to her than the perfumes
of Araby, wafted through the tran
som.
She picked up the little red dog
and said to its silly, inanimate lit
tle face, "Such a bore to dine with
the Vanderriches tonight, Hercu
les. I don't believe I'll dine at all."
Carefully she put him back on
the table and sat down in the rock
er, pressing her fingers to her tem
ples. Her momentary gallantry
was done; neither her llesh nor her
spirit could carry - . with the
make-believe.
There was a quick light tap on
her door and she rose to open it,
expecting to find Mrs. McCarthy.
The reassuring speech she had
prepared against the moment died
on her lips when she saw it was a
stranger standing there. The girl
with the untidy yellow hair, Kit
remembered, had moved into the
room across the way a few days
before.
"Got a match, honey?" she
asked in a hearty voice.
For a moment Kit's face was
blank',..ahe stood silent, blinking.
Across the hall, back of her visi
tor, the door to a lighted room
stood open, and through that door
came the full, devastating scent of
the cooking food.
She inhaled deeply. "Yes, I've
got a match—somewhere," she
said lingeringly. rolonging the
moment.
The other girl's eyes were quick
to read what was written on Kit's
face. She turned swiftly, saying.
"Bring it over, will you? I don't
want my stew to burn."
She was scooping it onto two
soup plates when Kit came to her
door. "Thanks," she said. "It's
kinda lonesome eating alone. Had
your supper yet?"
Kit shook her head. She felt she
ought to go, but her feet were
rooted in that room.
"That's swell! I late to eat
alone. . . • This stew'll put heart
into a ditch digger. Will you cut
some bread?"
Kit cut bread and studied her
hostess with side-long glances
She thought: She looks like a
frowsy angel.
Angels, she supposed, didn't
wear soiled kimonos or bleach
their hair. But she had no way of
knowing, since no angel had pre
sented either a helpful or purely
celestial appearance when she
needed one .
This one's name was Fran he
Maze, she said.
Kit ate, scarcely talking until
the second bowl was enptied.
Then she probed:
"You in show business, Fran?"
"In and out. Out at the moment.
How about you?"
Kit nodded. "Out," she said suc
cinctly.
"Tough."
They nodded to each otner
shortly.
"I got a call today for a turn
in a kind of night club. Went
through my whole routine and
when I get through the guy has
the nerve to ask me can I sing.
I hafta tell him no 1 can't sing.
Does he care that I had eight years
in vaudeville doing one of the
swellest dancing acts that ever
did forty weeks? No!"
Kit nodded sympathetically. "1
know. If we could only show them
what we can do. It's the chance
that counts."
Fran cut a generous slice of
bread and spread it with jam
"Have a piece of poor man's pie."
she urged, putting it on Kit's
plate. "What's your act?"
"I don't have an act. I only sing
At least. I used to think I could,
but now I don't even get a chance
to show people."
The mascara weighted lashes
narrowed meditativelv "You can
sing, huh ? Can yc,i pick up a
dance routine? Or have you got a
job? she asked, adding the last
I question for politeness' sake.
Kit said. "I'm out of a job. Out
of flam near everything. I . . .1
might be able to pick up a dance
routine. 1 never did anything like
that."
The other girl rummaged in the
pocket of her kimono ana found a
battered cigaret. Sh? offered it to
Kit.
Kit shook her head.
"What did you do. youngster?
Tell Aunt Fanny the whok story
We may be abie tj plot some
thing."
"There isn't much tr tr.1! you. I
come from a small v.it ■.• r.r.d sai'g
in a choir, then for the i >csi ladio
station. When my aur.t diet. I had
a little money and cane to New
York. Everybody back home
thought I had a :ulu<». I »vanted
to get into a chorus and work up
to light opera, but no luck."
"Go on."
"I've been .iere a year, waiting
on tables, working in a dentist's
oflice, in a department store. The
usual thing. The last one hired and
the first one fired. Right now, I'd
... I'd do almost anything."
Fran blew a long curl of smok«
through her mouth. She said cas
ually, "Would you do a sister act
in a dive nobody ever heard of for
I twenty bucks a wee.c and two
meals a day?"
"I sail' 'almost anything
The other girl kicked off her
bedroom slippers and fumbled un
der her cot., bringing out a pair of
metal-tipped shoes. She slipped off
her kimono, revealing herself in a
j bathing suit. "My rehearsal cos
tume," she explained. "I was prac
ticing a routine while I got supper.
. . . You'd better take off that
dress so that you can get plenty of
movement. I'm going to teach you
■ a little routine. . . . And if you
I ran sing a couple of choruses, you
| and me'll join up in a sister act
and show it to Luigi. What do you
think of 'The Dancing Dolls' for a
title ?"
"Everything you say to me
j sounds like sweet music," Kit an
swered from the folds of the dress
! she was hastily pulling over her
j head.
| "Good: Get some snappy music
I on the radio while I clear a space."
I Kit twirled the dials. "The pro
i prams arc changing now," she saia
! as the squawks smoothed into a
1 full volume of orchestral music.
' The music faded and a clear, ring
ing voice (lowed into the room.
"You have just heard the fir3t
in a series of broadcast auditions
conductcd by the Scmblor
I company, makors of the world's
1 finest pianos. This—ant! twelve

"Contests.'" The blond girl said
contemptuously. "Hey! What's that
number?"
That number was "Ycssir. That's
: My Baby," the theme song of the
1 PJylea company, "makers cf tne
j world's finest baby talcum po.v

Fran did a few limbering exer

Officers Fail To
Report Accident!
(Continued Froiv Page One)
Newlands. and in Richmond, near old
Mi/pah Church, were picked up only
through newspaper accounts.
A newspaper account of a fatal
wreck in Wake county said: "State
Highway patroimen are still search
ing lor driver of the death car."
Highway safety division officials are
stili searching for a report from
Highway patrolmen on the accident.
A fatal cia-h at Martin McDowell
crossroads in the I'hiladelphus sec
tion of Robeson county was. accord
ing to news accounts, cause for an
inquest by Coroner IX W. Biggs. He
was asked, by letter ol September 26,
lor information: but has not yet
given the Safetv division any reply
at all.
Coroner Roy Banks of Wake coun
ty was asked on September 26 to
furnish information about a fatal
crash near Mount Holly, but though
his oil ice is in Raleigh, no answers
has been received.
Corporal M. 11. Dunn of the State
Highway i'atro! lias not answered a
request from the division, dated Sep

garding a fatal wreck at Mooresville
in Iredell county.
Highway Patrolman J. J. Stewart
appears to have ignored a request
for data on a fatal wreck in Gastonia.
He was written on September 26.
Highway Safety Division officials
declare that they have stopped at
tempting to list the number of per
sons injured in highway accidents.
Official reporting is so lax, it is con
tended. that injury figures are noth
ing more or less than guesses.
The law, however, is explicit in
requiring not only the law enforce
