“Sweepstakes on Love” L 1 by May Christie

SYNOPSIS The socially elite Diana Darlington and Regina Hyde are rivals for the love of Roger Dexter, eligible young bachelor. Although Diana enjoys a much higher social position than Regina, the latter’s wealth seems to more than balance the scales. Diana wants to work but her mother, Genevieve, will not hear of it. Mrs. Darlington secretly makes a living by sending her friends to different modistes, beauty salons, etc. Her one hope is for Diana to marry wealth as soon as possible. So, she arranges for her daughter's debut in a suite at the Parkview Hotel furnished “free” by the management for the publicity to be gained via the “best people” who would attend the party. Even the champagne is gratis, donated by the very “common” Alfred Flegenschultz, former bootlegger but now a respectable liquor merchant. In return, Genevieve is forced to invite the social climbing Flegenschultz family. Roger showers Diana with attention and everything goes along smoothly until the champagne runs out and the spiteful Regina suggests that the party go to her house for further libations. Roger was among the last to leave. He did not accept Regina's invitation, however, as Diana feared, but, indignant with his friends for clearing out so summarily, went to the Harvard Club instead * Later on, Regina gives a play for charity. She, of course, has the leading role. Diana is the hit of the show with her beautiful singing and dancing. The envious Regina puts soap flakes on the stage staircase causing Diana to fall. Recuperating at home, Diana receives a movie offer. Next comes Regina's debut. It was to be more lavish than anything Society had ever before witnessed. Although lame from her accident, Diana attends, accompanied by Roger. Her happiness knows no bounds when he tells her i of his love. Regina contrives to i get Roger away from Diana by "spiking" his champagne with brandy. Someone else takes Diana home. Next morning, she does not know what to think when ' Roger, through his butler, breaks . an appointment with her and goes 1 on a trip without saying good-bye. It was not Diana Roger was run- ’ ning away from, however, but Re- i gina to whom he feared he had 1 committed himself while intoxicated. 1 CHAPTER XII < At half-past four, the inimitable Perkins mixed him a potent pick-me-up that had a familiar sauce as ’ its base, and is known among the ’ gay blades of England as a “prairie ’ oyster.” 1 At five, his merry Harvard class- ' mates arrived. Perkins had three 1 Tom Collinses ready. 1 By the time they reached Pennsyl- : vania station, Roger's spirits had 1 lifted a little. A second letter reached Diana ' from the unknown Mr. Benes of the International Film Company. It urged her to come to his office ' for a provisory film test. Genevieve looked up the company 1 in the telephone book. Under the 1 New York offices was a studio ad- ! dress on Long Island. They might make Diana an excellent offer, and ' her work would not absent her from her home at nights. Genevieve 1 thought it might he worth looking into, anyway, while Roger was 1 absent. 1 But Diana seemed apathetic. 1 Which was odd. For weeks and weeks before her debut, hadn't she been pestering Genevieve to permit her to take a job—almost any kind of job? It was fashionable to be in the movies, and undoubtedly it was lucrative. Genevieve knew that. Diana, of course, was worrying over Roger, which was a good sign, but foolish, in that practically all rich men, with or without looks, are bound to be spoiled. She told Diana so. She told her that his departure meant nothing—that all young men in love were “kittle-cattle” and must be given leeway before they were induced to come to the point, as Roger most certainly would. “It’s my belief he went off to dodge Regina.” said Genevieve wisely. “It's my belief she traded on the fact that he had drunk too much at her party, and led him on to say more to her than he meant,” “Then it was cowardly of him to clear out as ho did.” Diana’s small chin was held high. "Nonsense! Be human, child. And ho sensible. It will make him think all the more of yon if he returns to find you starring in a picture. It'll make him come right to the point, you’ll see.” “Starring?” Diana smiled crookedly. “As an extra, mavbe. And remember I'm still lame." “Anyway I'm going to call up Mr. Rones right away and make the appointment,” Genevieve said firmly. That afternoon the test was made. Three days later came the offer. One hundred a week on a .hree months’ contract, with an op-

tion following that, of three hundred dollars weekly, over the period of a year. This option was to be renewed annually, salary increasing in scale, until a thousand a week was reached. Mother and daughter stared at each other. Mr. Benes had read the offer over the telephone to her. Diana was white-faced. “It sounds wonderful, but there's a snag in it, Genevieve! It means Hollywood, not Long Island! The Long Island studios closed down three months ago. It would mean I would have to leave—everything— my friends and all—" “I understand, Diana. But we : can stave the offer off for a week or two, till Roger returns." Bella brought up the afternoon paper. She handed it to her mistress, and withdrew. Genevieve glanced at page one, at first casually, then with widening eyes. “What's the matter, Genevieve? What's the latest murder? Or is anybody suing us for the bills we owe ?" Genevieve's mouth had fallen open. She was staring at the printed ; page. Diana was alarmed. She jumped up. She took the paper from her mother. Headlines in black type sprang out at her. ] “PACIFIC COAST SUFFERS EARTHQUAKE” “Oil Companies Estimate Losses ' May Run to Millions of Dollars Owing to Fissure Below Famous Armour Hill Wells" “Biggest oil-fields of Santa Barbara dry and owners ruined.” ——— < “The Armour Hill wells? Why. the owners—why, that’s Roger and his father!” gasped Diana. ♦ • • The enormously wealthy Dexters were ruined by what is technically known in California as “an act of ■ Goa.” “Though surely God had nothing to do with anything so cruel as an earthquake!"sobbed Genevieve who, literally and metaphorically, had had her hopes crash. “It was a fissure in the earth, Mother. They never knew it, but there was an enormous pocket under the wells and around them. They : just caved in, and the oil disappeared.” ' Diana was not broken-hearted, as was Genevieve, for had she not had a marvelous letter from Roger airmailed from Santa Barbara? Terribly sorry for Roger as she was, would not this catastrophe give him an opportunity to show the stuff ; of which he was made? “Darling Diana,” he had written, i “You will know by now how right I was that night at the Hyde house when I spoke of fiddling while Rome was burning! In other words, the old family fortune’s gone up in smoke! Or more accurately, ft’s burning merrilv somewhere in the center of Mother Earth, and we shall see it no more! Oil is definitely out, and elbow-grease is in. From now on. I am one of the world’s workers. “Naturally, this has hit my old man hard, but it cheers him somewhat to have me alongside. I’ve neglected him appallingly in the last few years, but from now on, I intend to make amends, and have told him so. and he believes it. “Perkins 'phoned me the bad news directly it broke in the New York papers. I packed pronto, and boarded the first plane from Memphis to Santa Barbara. Things could not be worse. In fact, if we are to exist, I must get work immediately. I’m thinking of accepting a Hollywood offer that came to me through a chap called Benes of the International Film Company (he's a sort of talent-scout for ’em), during the run of our little playlet in New York, and which I then definitely turned down. Seventy-five dollars a week in the Art Department of a Hollywood studio, painting scenery, etc., sounded a bit fantastic at that time, as you can well imagine—but it’s the geds now. I may send a night letter to Benes, grabbing it while the grabbing is good. How I wish I could invite you here, but there won’t be a roof-tree to invite you to, since our house is to be sold directly, in order to meet certain liabilities. “Meantime, write me, Diana—l could say plenty more, and wish I had said it before I left New York—but fate intervenes—otherwise the well-known “act of God"—which sounds fantastic to me and I can still hardly believe it. Can you? “God bless you. dear Di—“As always, “Roger.” She went to the telephone. She called up Mr. Benes of the International Film Company. She accepted his offer. It meant Hollywood—and Roger! “I—l understand a friend of mine, a very brilliant artist—MrRoger Dexter—” “He's joining our staff in the Art Department of our Hollywood studio. He starts a week from Monday,” said Mr. Benes briskly. » • • Genevieve would probably have been dead against the move to Hollywood had she not received an offer

of fifteen hundred dollars to rent her house on East 68th Street for the four mid-winter months. That would pay off the three years’ accumulation of taxes, and leave Diana and herself the necessary three hundred dollars for train fare to the Coast. One hundred dollars a week closely followed by an option for three hundred weekly was not to be sneezed at, in these hard times. It was cold in New York, but it would be gloriously sunny in California. She had a cough to be got rid of. and Diana too would be benefitted by the change to a warmer climate. There was the question of young Roger, also. She simply did not believe that his fortune had entirely vanished! Undoubtedly he was in love with Diana, ami Hollywood would bring them together. Fortunately it had removed him from Regina. Regina was in none too good a humor. “I call it rather sneaky of you, Diana, to keep that movie offer up your sleeve!” Nor had Roger told Mr of Mr. Benes's interest in his handiwork in the scenery of the play Regina had starred in. The motionpicture company—or their scout, rather—had not thought sufficiently highly of the star to make her an offer. It annoyed her extremely. Wasn’t she infinitely better looking than Diana, and with loads more talent? To tell the truth. Regina—who was a decided exhibitionist and always yearning for new worlds to conquer—had cherished a yen for u long time in connection with the movies. Why not go to Hollywood herself? Why not tackle the movie moguls in person? She had boundless belief in her ability as an actress. She would soon put it over. But not now. It would look too pointed to follow Roger and Diana to the West Coast at once. She had already been twitted about Roger, and condoled with over the loss of his vast fortune. “It won’t make a bit of difference between Roger and me!” she fairly spat at Diana and her mother when she came rushing round to the house on East 68th Street to have the disturbing news corroborated. “You mean about his going to work in pictures?” asked Diana innocently. “No. I mean he told me his feelings for me the night of my party and I shan't let his loss of money stand between us,” Regina rapped out. Genevieve looked up from her game of solitaire. “Do you mean to tell me you're engaged to Roger?” She raised her eyebrows. “Diana had a long letter from him. inviting her out to Santa Barbara”—which w» s an overstatement—“and he never said a word about being engaged.” Regina, caught, flushed hotly, which was a rare thing for her to do. She tossed her head. “I didn’t say I had areepfed him, did I?” Shortly after that, she left. » ♦ » Quite a crowd of her friends came to Grand Central station to see Diana and her mother off for the West Coast. Press photographers turned out in force, and next day’s papers carried pictures with the caption: “Beautiful Debutante Wins Splendid Hollywood Contract.” Her salary, needless to say, was greatly exaggerated. The moment the train, bearing Diana and her orchids and her gifts, started to- move, Regina declared to Phyllis and Maude: “She’ll flop. You mark my words. She hasn’t what it takes to make anv kind of a hit in pictures.” “Certainly she hasn’t,” agreed Maude the stooge. “If I were you, Regina, I’d go out and show them what real ability it!” “Provided Regina takes yon with her, Maude!” sneered Phyllis. “Such a cheer-leader couldn't possibly be left behind!” “I’ll jolly well hop on the first train with you, Regina,” chirped Clarence. “The screen requires better and brighter Englishmen who know their jolly old way around. That’s what. I say. Noblrxge oblige, and bally good manners!” “Shut up. You’re an ass!” snapped Regina ill-temperedly. “I wouldn’t take you on a bet!” They went to the Merry-Makers for drinks, and tore Diana to pieces. Meantime, on the train that was carrying them past the sparkling waters of the Hudson River. Diana sat among her flowers. A new life was opening out before her. It would contain the one thing essential to her happiness, Roger Dexter. They would be in the same studio! She would see him every day! She would arrange matters so that they might meet in the commissary at mid-day, and he would often be with her in the evenings. (To Be Continued) CoprrKht. I>3S. Xlnr Ifahiru SmdlMta. trit
