PREMIERE' ROBERT TERRY SHANNON I t. j iii-f ij'r ri-

SYNOPSIS At the premiere of her latest motion picture, beautiful Leni Luneska, the star, is embarrassed by the appearance of her husband, Karl Kruger, whom she married in Vienna, when just a child. Years of brutality and unhappiness followed. Finally Kruger was put in prison and Leni came to America where, after a long struggle, she reached stardom in motion pictures. Kruger now seeks recognition as her husband and waits in a private office of the theatre for her to reconsider her refusal. Meanwhile, thieves are robbing the safe in the next office. Lucky Cavanaugh, who met the star that evening and fell in love with her on sight, orders Kroger to leave. A fight ensues, I Failing in an attempt to shoot Cavanaugh, Kruger rushes into the next office. The burglars, surprised, kill him. Detective Tom Mulrooney suspects Cavanaugh but, when the latter denies the crime, gives him four days in which to find the murderer among his underworld friends. Cavanaugh is warned by “Slug,” one of the robbers, that the gunmen fear he will squeal and bo "have you on the spot.” At Leni's home, Lucky receives a phone call from a woman named Annette, who threatens him. Cavanaugh proposes to Leni. Steve Poletzki, Kruger's murderer, is lying in ambush, across the alley from Cavanaugh's home, ready to shoot him, as Cavanaugh returns home to find Annette in his apartment. Poletzki kills Annette by mistake. . . . Next morning, Leni is swamped with congratulatory messages on the premiere. Her success is assured, but more important to her than that is Cavanaugh's love for her. Herman Gerstenfield, noted director, calls. CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR Ned Wingate, the studio manager, was an old friend without the aura of prestige surrounding Gerstenfield. Even though Leni knew that from now on she was utterly independent there was still enough of the child in her to feel excited and fearful in the presence cf the Napoleonic wisp of a man with the best brain in the whole industry. Tradition and public acclaim had enshrined Gerstenfield as a demigod. He made and unmade careers. He had directed her last two pictures —had moulded her as a sculptor moulds clay. What she could not know, of course, was that Herman Gerstenfield was more of a slave than she —or anyone else—could possibly be. And now it was going to be her unpleasant duty to tell him that she was through with him, the movies, with ambition, career and fame. In away, she was going to let him down. Leni was active with imagination. She knew she was going to pit her brain and will against a stronger mental force than any she had ever contacted in her life. Herman Gerstenfield was not a flesh and blood body —he was a mental force vibrating, shattering, building, winning! Both men, when Leni came into the room, rose to their feet at once. Gerstenfield as though it were a physical effort came up slowly—a medium - sized man with narrow shoulders and a face utterly unimpressive, except for the eyes, “Good morning, darling,” said Wingate with light affection. “Just out of bed, eh? Well, it was a great night!” He laughed with an ease of manner and took hold of her hand and led her up to Gerstenfield. “The best bet in pictures today, Herman!” he said. Herman Gerstenfield’s face expressed an indifference, which he was very far from feeling. With his aloof and cold manner he usually

| got what he wanted In a business ! discussion. He had brought Win- ■ gate along as a softening influence I upon Leni. “Time will tell how good Miss J Luneska is,” said Gerstenfield, with- ) out enthusiasm. ’ He sank back into his chair and ( Wingate took a fountain pen from ( ■ his pocket and put it on a table be- , side a legal-looking document with a blue cover which he had, appar- ] ently, been reading before Leni came in. He started to speak and then checked himself. After all, Wingate was the figurehead, Gerstenfield the real power. In the vast mechanism of studio I organization, Wingate was merely . a competent and useful instrument, 1 i The insignificant looking Gerstenfield could control him by pushing ] a button. “I feel very flattered that both ] you gentlemen called,” said Leni. “Would you like to stay for luncheon with me?” Wingate watched her with admiration, his eyes keenly appreciative of the attractive picture she presented. Her small feet were in green silk mules. Above these were pajama trousers of thick and heavy yellow silk. Her jacket was cloth of gold wrapped across the perfection of her breast and tied on one slender hip with two green ribbons. Her golden hair was loosely dressed, an auriate shimmer of light. She looked fragile yet elastic and full of the kind of energy that the celluloid could pick up and reproduce as gorgeous vitality. Gerstenfield decided mentally that he would photograph her in the next picture ’ in the identical costume she was 1 now wearing. “We’ve hau lunch, thank you,” said Gerstenfield. “Let’s get down to business. How do you feel we’ve treated you on the matter of your contract in the past?” “I’ve no complaint whatever,” said Leni agreeably. Gerstenfield grunted. “I should think so. We're already paying you more money than you ever dreamed of.” “Leni’s been lucky,” added Wingate softly. Leni sat down and crossed the silken folds of her pajama clad leg. This Leni, with her charm capable of dazzling millions from the screen, was to these men apparently nothing more than a business opponent. They were here, she knew, to have her sign a new contract. Yet Hollywood does not do business in a forth-right manner—it has to be a game of chess. “The studio has treated me marvelously well,” said Leni. Her voice was smooth, sweet like honey. “I’ve been lucky, indeed, and it's quite true that I am making more money now than I ever dreamed of. But we’ve all done well together, haven’t we? I understand that my pictures have been very profitable for the studio. I mean if I should quit now, we’d all be ahegd of the game, wouldn’t we?” Wingate’s large and loose clown’s mouth smiled tolerantly. “Until your last picture you had other stars of proven drawing powers with you, darling, and we gave you a great story for your last picture, too. If I may say so, the direction counted for a great deal.” “Indeed yes — the direction was superb, Ned,” said Leni quickly. “Mr. Gerstenfield was inspired.” This kind of talk made Gerstenfield uncomfortable. His eyes were burning like smoky torches and for the fourth time in the last fifteen minutes he looked at the watch strapped to his wrist. “Let’s cut out tossing the flowers and come back to earth,” he said flatly. “The box office will tell how good or bad either of you are. Under your old contract, Miss Lui neska, you have still a year to run with us at your present salary. In

cent as much hay in prospect as i last year. Pastures are very poor, ■ although not reported as low as on • the same date In I*3o. i j Potatoes are a poor crop, about . 157 per cent ot last year, while 11 apples, peaches, and pears ar.

Cows milked on > I reporters farms produced only 18.4 I ixiuiiils the least in the nine I ' y ars recorded, which has averaged ■ | 20.6 pounds.

this business we've got to gamble on our stars. Your last picture looks fair, but we can’t tell much about its earning power for some months yet. It may make money all over the country and it may flop. Outside of one or two favorites, you foreign stars are about the worst gamble in picture business.” “That’s true,” said Wingate. “The public likes its American girls.” And then the great Gerstenfield pontificated: “There has been some sentiment in our company to let your contract expire. On the other hand, a few of us thought there was an outside chance of putting you over. Frankly, you’re the biggest gamble we have among our stars, but we’re willing to take a chance on you. We’ve prepared a five - year contract with the customary options. You’re getting a healthy salary now but we’re going to double it. To speak plainly. I think the company is far too generous. Nevertheless, I’ve brought the contract with me and we're here to sign it.” Wingate was rubbing his hands together and smiling loosely at Leni. “The luckiest girl in pictures!” he said entranced. “I’ll say so!” retorted Gerstenfield. Gerstenfield’s eyes were fixed upon her with what amounted almost to hypnotic intensity. There was e persuasiveness about the man, a crude dynamic force that beat against her as definitely yet as invisibly as a steady wind. He got up out of his chair suddenly as though he loathed the softness of its cushions. Leni neither liked nor disliked him Lit her intelligence told her that the motion picture industry had not produced another man of equal strength. After a few minutes ■under his spell, one ceased to regard him as a physical man and sensed him only as some mysterious electrical concentration of willpower. He was neither honest nor dishonest— merely, he got what he wanted. It was not easy for her to cross purposes with him. Yet out of her heart flowed a protective force that gathered around her like a delightful cloud. “I’m so terribly sorry tor your sake, Mr. Gerstenfield,” said Leni. “No one could help wanting to do whatever you say. Still, I’m not going to sign your contract. I’m through with pictures forever.” “Are you insane or are you bluffing?” asked Gerstenfield, cold as ice. “Neither," said Leni. “I happen to be in love.” “I knew it was one or the other,” Gerstenfield said, a shade ot relief in his voice. “You’re insane!” The singing sensation in Leni’s heart became acutely pleasant. What did it matter if Gerstenfield called her insane ? Poor man—what could he. with his contracted heart and his frigid ‘will-power, know of love? Wingate was all for making a joke of Leni’s desertion of the pictures. He picked up her hand and planted a lingering kiss upon it. “Love is necessary to a career," he said gaily. “I've been in love’ myself fourteen times in the last two years—but I’ve never wanted to quit my job on account of it.” “Nevertheless, gentlemen, I am leaving the pictures,” affirmed Leni with a quiet smile more convincing than if she had pounded the table. At this there was a moment of silence. Gerstenfield, all eyes, tried to capture her gaze but Leni was looking at Ned Wingate who reluctantly released her hand.
