It sparkles, scintillates and has much humor. Miss Varesi is happily cast, and Jane Meredith, holding the opposite side of the stage as a sort of vamp, for which she i3 becomingly noted, acts skilfully and speaks so clearly and incisively that she makes one wish others might do likewise. Brock Pemberton, favorably known in newspaper and theatrical circles, is the impresario and adds distinction to the event.

The filming of these scenes, interior and exterior, required much time, a large number of extras, the construction of complicated sets, and the use of .fclg Industrial plants, where some of the scenes were taken. Much of the work was done at night. One interior scene depicts the office of the munitions plant. The crash of the explosions in various parts of the plant wrecks the office completely.

CHAPTER LX IV. It wasn’t until the day after Anthony Norreys and his “job" crossed my path that I realized how tremendously serious Jim was about his “great chance to help Terry." My boy insisted on getting up bright and early and on having Neal sthrt him on the study of bookkeeping and accounting before that brother of mine went off to work. “It’s like this—if T§rry needs me to help out bis friend and release an ablebodied man for the war, he needs me instanter,” mused Jim audibly. “So the thing to do is to prepare myself while I’m mending and do my mending mightly quick at that. We’ll fetch in the doctor today and see If he can't get me ready to be on the Job by the first of the week.” Jim was too generous to feel belittled at the thought of taking on a job that had been offered to Neal —this was clear. The only thing that wasn’t cloar was a remark I overheard Neal make to him: “Os course, Jim, this work Is far too Important for me, anyway —but you understand I might try to whack at it while you're mending—only I'm clearing the decks end getting ready for action. I kind of thought you knew this when you didn't mind niy—my trying to be friends with Phoebe last night—and taking her home and all.” With a start, I remembered the secret that Jim and Neal shared—Neal's secret about which I had vowed nover to ask. But I hadn't vowed never to puzzle about It. I racked my brain* to find a solution of tho problem—and as I set about doing my housework, I found myself passing In the midst of tucking in n sheet to try to figure out the meaning of something tense and strange 1 sensed in N'enl.

Fussing and fuming over Neal didn’t further my housework. I stopped In the midst of my lackadaisical efforts and took myself to task: “Now, look here, Barbara Anne, the only your problems that you can do a single thing about right here, and now, Is the Virginia-complex. And if you let Betty whisk you off this afternoon, you won’t have a chance to straighten that out,” “Whereupon I gave a last pat to the bedspread with which I had been straggling, and flew out to my studious Jim, who sat pouring over the pages <>t Neal’s volume on double-entry bookkeeping. And running my fingers through my boy’s hair, I interrupted shamelessly: “Jlmmie-boy—do you want to be alons with Virginia today?” “Alone? What do you mean, dear?” “Well—Betty said she’d come to take mo out for a laeath of air. But I’d like to stay In and see If I can’t come t a better understanding with Virginia ” “Why, you mustn’t run away when Virginia comes' We’ll give her a nice tea and invite Betty to share It—isn’t that a better plan?” asked Jim. To my Joy, however, Betty insisted that Jim mustn’t have too much com, pany Just yet, and that she’d not come to tea. but just run in at six and motor “Vee” home. That little "family forty” might mean so much to ms. No debutante dressing for her first ball ever took more pains to look her prettiest than I for Virginia.
