FpREMIEREI by ROBERT TERRY SHANNON I M ~... ..... -

SYNOPSIS Attending the premiere of her latest motion picture, beautiful Leni I.uneska. the star, is confronted by a shabby, emaciated man. who emerges from the crowd crying. "Leni! It is I. Karl Kruger. Do you want me to tell the whole world?” Leni turns white. She tells the man she will talk with him inside. Lucky Cavanaugh, a gambler, fascinated by Leni’s beauty, saunters into the theatre after Kruger. He prevents Kruger from making ■ scene and has him placed in a private office until after the show. Cavanaugh then bribes an usher to seat him in Leni’s box. During the performance Douglas Gates, Leni’s elderly escort, proposes to her. She is tempted to accept him to get away from everything. In the office next to Kruger’s, thieves are robbing the safe. Leni leaves her box and goes to Kruger. He taunts her with. "It is not pleasant to have a starving bum hanging around—not when he happens to be your husband!” CHAPTER FOUR “I thought you were in prison,” she said, forcing her voice to calmness. ‘‘Did you escape?” “Unfortunately for you, I have a full pardon —for good conduct,” said Kruger with satisfaction. “No chance to railroad me back to that place.” He was thin as a scarecrow and the light in his eyes was feverish. In comparison with the groomed and confident men of her present life, Kruger was but a human animal in ruin. He was here to besmirch her joy of life, but Leni unconsciously showed pity as well as revulsion in her face. “You will want money, of ecurse,” she said slowly. “That was what you always wanted. Very well. An arrangement can be made. I give you my word. Will you go now? Tomorrow I will talk with you at my home.” Kruger laughed outright. “You seem to forget — I’m still your husband.” The violet color of Leni’s eyes darkened almost to black. Very slowly the coldness of her breast was beginning to melt against a spreading flame she struggled to suppress. “For what you did to me you should have been killed,” she told him. Each word came like a drop of molten metal out of her tight throat. “Fourteen years old—a factory child in Vienna—Yes, you married me, Karl Kruger. You took me to Berlin and London —and what did you make of me? Heaven help you! They will build a special inferno for men like you!” Kruger started to rise, a red flush mottling his forehead. As he raised his hand he called her an epithet in German. But he did not strike her. “Don’t forget—you are what they call a criminal alien!” he cried out. “1 can have you deported if 1 like. If the public knew why you spent six months behind the bars in Wormwood Scrubbs—you wouldn’t be much of a star, hey? You wouldn’t like your record paraded, hey? Queens of the screen can’t stand publicity like that. No! I know all about these morality clauses. Women like you can’t stand scandal and disgrace—not when it’s true. I think you’ll listen to me, my famous Leni Luneska! Oh, yes—you’ll be reasonable!” Leni’s hands were clenched. “Just what do you want?” she asked intently. “They showed pictures every Friday night in the penitentiary.” Kruger rushed on. “Lots of times I’d see you on the screen in small parts. I watched your rise—l knew you’d be a star some day. No other

woman had your hair and eyes and skin. ... In my cell I’d suffocate at night and dream about you—you!” His voice rose crescendo.- “I’ll tell you what I want—l want my wife!” Leni paused for a long time before speaking to Kruger. Curiously enough, he did not gaze at her face but at h»r graceful hands with their long tapering fingers. The man was not without a certain poetic imagination. Her hands always reminded him of white lilies. “You are not my husband,” she said. Green glints were now showing in her eyes. “That marriage in Vienna meant nothing. I was under age.” Kruger threw a hand in the air. “Under age or not—it’s legal. But if not legal—then you lived with me. I tell you I can ruin you—destroy you — drive you from the films. Nobody can shut my mouth.’ “You do not frighten me,” Leni lied. But Kruger saw that she was pale across her cheek bones, that the graceful hands trembled. “All the same you will listen to me,” he told her with his voice on its high, unnatural level. “I know you well enough—your vanity and your ambition. You love the spotlight—and you will listen to reason. Are you fool enough to throw everything away? Not Leni Luneska! I’m your husband. You will accept me as such. Let the past bury its own dead.” “That is only a threat,” said Leni contemptuously. “What you really want is the money.” “Certainly I want money!” cried Kruger. “All of my life I’ve been poor as a rat. But I’ve been starved in prison. I’ve been starved for a woman to crush in my arms. More than money. I’ve wanted a woman. You—Leni Luneska —my wife! You belong to me and I’m going to have you!” His voice was almost a scream. The two burglars in the next office heard the sound of it, but could not distinguish the words. The lower tones of Leni also reached their ears. “That guy in there is sure giving it to some dame,” one of the burglars whispered. The other answered him carelessly. “Yeah — some guys is like that.” Kruger and Leni now stood facing each other, throwing words like missiles. His face was flushed a dark red and drops of perspiration sprang on his bluish upper lip. Leni’s face was completely white. Her lips were drained of blood and the rouge on her cheeks was almost grotesque in its artificiality. She had known hate before, but never on this earth had something in her heart thirsted to kill. Had it been in her power she would have destroyed Karl Kruger utterly. Not because he had it in his power to wreck her career. Because he was himself—because of a blinding disgust for the man’s repulsive physical self she would have obliterated him from human existence. Each nerve in her body strummed like over-stretched wires. Shuddering revulsion swept through her, nauseated her, sent red flashes darting through her eyeballs. And behind it all, deep in the very pith of her being was a cold sickening feeling, a clammy weakness of the heart that consumed all the strength in her body. When she spoke, her voice was a husky whisper. “There are a dozen men I know who would wring your neck if I asked them to,” she said. Suddenly he stepped forward in front of her, his dark hands with their bent fingers raised to the level of her white throat. “And I could strangle the life out of you right here,” he said. He was so wrought up that his whole face

was twitching. The truth of the matter was that in any physical combat he probably would have been unequal to Leni Luneska. He was a small man and undernourished. This thought flashed through her mind and she was able to laugh at him derisively. "You haven’t the strength, and you haven’t the courage,” she told him, gaining better control of herself. “No, Karl Kruger, you are not —what we call in Hollywood—the type. You are only a blackmailer. I’m a fool to let you get my goat.” Her words, oddly, seemed to soothe him. He toßk out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead. “We are both fools,” he said, strivihg for poise. “A matter like this cannot be settled when two people are angry. All the same, I put my foot down and will not accept less than I have demanded. You are smart enough to realize that you must come to terms.” “How much "I” she demanded crisply. “Recognition as your husband — and all that goes with it.” She looked at him steadily and shook her head. “Not if it meant my death.” . The fire in his eyes began to grow again with disorderly intensity. “I’ll tell you something you do not realize, Leni Luneska. I’m a far more desperate man than you think. My life is not worth the flame at the end of a candle. With me it’s either nothing or everything. I may go down to ruin, but I’ll drag you with me. Still, I’m reasonable. We are both excited. I'll give you one hour to think it over. Go away before we start clawing again. Come back in an hour and tell me if you are willing to make terms.” It was a truce for but not a victory. Karl Kroger had spoken the troth—his life was valueless. In the final extremity the recklessness of a coward equals that of 8 hero. His brain was hysterical, likely to override whatever intelligence he possessed. For the moment she decided it was the part of wisdom to delay. “Very well, I’ll think it over,” she said deliberately. “I’ll come back in an hour and we will settle everything.” As she left the room and closed the door behind her, her legs felt stiff, her knees rusty. There was one thought in her mind that sang a hideous song. There were men in the city—she had read of them—who would kill a fellow being for a few hundred dollars. Assassins . . . *• * z Lucky Cavanaugh’s interest in motion pictures was so slight that he could scarcely explain his presence in the theater. It had been a whim that brought him to the premiere—yet something deeper than a vagrant impulse. A hunch, perhaps. Leni Luneska was a hunch, too. His eyes followed her every movement on the screen. She awoke an odd emotion within him—not desire — rather a sensation of suspense. Os one thing he was certain—he was not in the least impressed by her fame. He was conscious of no barrier. Beautiful women were not exactly a novelty in his life. In the East at Saratoga, at Belmont and Bowie and Bradley’s in Palm Beach lovely creatures were a part of the game—were really the pursuers. Without eavesdropping, Cavanaugh had heard a part of the conversation between Leni and "Douglas Gates. Enough to tell him that Gates would get nowhere with the blonde actress. Here, too, intuition played its part in his opinion.
