Saint aid Sinner ANNE AUSTIN

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE CHERRY LANE, is as diffprent from her sister, FAITH, as two sisters can be. Faith stays at home and does all the work for the family of six. whieh includes JUNIOR, or “Long” Lane, 31, and JOY f), because her mother' is a semi-invalid. Cherry's long list of admirers includes CHESTER HART, a former suitor of Faith's: 808 HATHAWAY, a young architect, for whom Mr. Lane, <ari>erfter and contractor in a small way. is to build two bungalows: ALBERT ETTLESON. a married traveling salesman: her present employer, old MR. CLTTNY. whom Faith surprises in the act- of making love to Cherry, and ( TIRIS WILEY over whom a girl has committeed suicide. GEORGE PRUITT, rich man’s son and amateur artist, falls in love with Faith, but Faith has already lost her heart to Bob Hathaway, who is infatuated with Cherry. Pruitt invites the two girls to a studio party. Mrs. Lane has a sudden hr art attack and Cherry goes to the party, leaving Faith to nurse her mother. Clirrrv has already confessed to Faith that Rob Hathaway has kißsrrl her. but that she will marry him only if she cannot "laud'' Pruitt. While the party is going on Pruitt sends Hathaway to Faith's home with a hamper of refreshments and Faith immediately senses that Hathaway is in deep trouble, undoubtedly over Cherry. Faith has dressed hastily in her new party dress, but she realizes that shg is still, to him. only Cherry’s sister. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIII “I’m afraid you don’t like anchovy paste,” Faith said with her slow, sweet smile. “Won’t you try the chicken salad? It's delicious. Mr. Pruitt was awfully kind to send all these lovely things. I wish you'd eat. Ypu make me look like a glutton.” Which the grossest of exaggerations, for she had scarcely tasted the focjjJ. "Was that anchovy paste?” Bob Hathaway grinned ruefully. “I couldn't have told whether it was deviled eggs or humming bird tongues. The truth is, Faith—you don’t mind if I leave off the ‘Miss,’ do you?” "I’ve wanted you t*> —Bob,” Faith said, and hoped her voice did not betray the quiver of delight that made her heart beat crazily for a moment. “The truth is—?” she prompted him gently, rising to go to the davenport couch, abandoning all pretense yof enjoying the feast that George Pruitt had sent from the supper tables of his studio party. “I’m afflicted with an, urgent desire to talk about myself, to spill a lot of confidences upon you, if you'll let me. You brought it on yourself, you know,” and he came to sit beside her. “You’re the sort of girl that spends most of her life listening to other folks’ troubles, aren’t you? You know something—l’ve been thinking about you a lot, off and on,” he said with unconscious cruelty, but Ihe girl did not wince visibly. “I’ve just been reading Eugene O’Neill’s “The ' Great God Brown,’ and there’s a woman in it—not a good woman, I suppose a girl like you would say, but she proves a tower of strength to the troubled soul of a man, Dion, his name was. He called her queer names—‘Mother Earth’—things like that. I don’t suppose I'm making myself clear, Faith, but that’s a little how you seem to me, and yet I've only seen you three times altogether. Odd, isn’t it?” He looked at her with shy, wistful blue eyes, and ran an embarrassed band through the crips waves of his hair.

‘‘l think I know what you mean.” Faith nodded. “And —thank you. Now tell me the sort of things that your Dion could tell his ‘Earth Mother.” I’ll try to be—understanding.” "You couldn't help being that,” Hathaway told her seriously. “Funny how I know that so well, isn’t it? It’s—it’s abftut Cherry, Faith. You won’t think I’m a cad if I talk about her a little?” “No.” Faith’s lips stiffened, but by a suprejrte effort of the will her big brown eyes were still serene as she looked into his flushed face. “You see, Faith, it’s this me: T don't fall in love easily. There has been only one other girl, really, a cute thing that I was crazy shout when I was in college. I —l wanted her to marry me, and she—she promised. I foun/1 out—it doesn't matter how —on the' 1 day I graduated that she had collected ten fraternity pins that year. Engaged to ten men in one year, Faith! It —it almost broke me up. I’ve been off women” —he was unconscious that in his youth and inexperience he sounded humorous—“ever since then. Oh. I’ve rone about with the girls here and in Detroit, where I worked until a year ago. but nothing serious. I didn’t want to fall in love —afraid of it.” lie confessed unhappily, cTksping and unclasping his long brown hands as Jlicv swung between his knees. “And''now you’re afraid you've gone and done it,” Faith helped him out. But her heart cried, "Oh, he’s being hurt, he’s going to be hurt more! I don’t want him to be hurt!” “I —yes, I’m afraid I have.” His voice was husky, a strange voice for a man confessing his love. “Last night —God knows I was never sc, happy in my life as I was last night! T —l kissed her, Faith, and she kissed me. “Ood! I—l was crazy with love! I drove until dawn, couldn’t bear to go to sleep and lose the feel of her lips on mine. And I was planning over and over how I’d ask her to marry me—tonight. I made up a thousand different proposals, like a cillv scboolhoy. And then—then—tonight—” He rrinped his hands to- • etlmr so hard/that the knuckles cracked. “What happened tonight, Bob?’’ Faith asked gently one of her strong white hands going out to toucH those straining, locked hands of his. "Did she refuse you? I wouldn’t take it to seriously—” she leaned toward him untit her lips almost brushed the clean-scented, crisp hair on his 1 iwed head. If he had looked up (hen he would have kpown—would have seen that her eyes were humid

with love and pity and prayer for him. But he did not look up— “ —I didn’t have a chance to ask her. It was just before supper was served, over in the dining room of the big house, you know. Our party was in the new garage, where George has a studio fixed up. I had danced with her twice, and then I had missed her —someone said she had gone to walk around the grounds with Chester Hart. But Chester was in the studio, dancing with George’s sister, Selma. “Invent out looking for her with a flashlight, to tell her to come in to supper. I thought she’d be my supper partner, if she hadn’t already promised Chester. Faith,” he broke off suddenly, as if he could not-go on with a straight narrative of what had happened. “Why did Cherry let me kiss her —like that —why did she kiss me if she was engaged to another man, if she loved someone else?” His eyes were tortured, filled with bewilderment. “I don’t know what you saw,” Faith answered slowly, avoiding those stricken eyes of his, “but you mustn't take a kiss too seriously, Bcb, whether it is given to you or whether you see it bein given to some other man. Girls thesedays—” "I’ve heard all that before; every .one’ saying it,” he interrupted her fiercely, “but I won’t believe it, accept it. Why, I swear before God I wouldn’t marry a girl who would kiss—like that—and not 'give her real love with her kisses. As Balzac says, 'When a woman gives her mouth she gives everything.’ If Cherry is in love with rotter Chris Wiley—” v \‘Chris Wiley!” Faith sprang to her feet, her eyes blazing with sudden anger. “Was it Cris that you saw her with —kissing?" “It was Chris Wiley,” Bob Hathaway groaned. “The whole town knows about him and Helen Bailey. Oh, Faith! I feel like a rotten cad telling you this. It will only worry you. I shouldn’t have—” “Yes, you should!” Faith told him fiercely. "My fifther had forbidden Chris Wiley to come to this house. I believe he would shoot him if he found him on the place. What happened, Bob? Tell me!” “That’s all,” he told her dully. “I turned my flashlight on them by accident, looking for Cherry. She was in his arms—close —and he was kissing her —her arms were around his neck—” “Did they see you?” Faith demanded, her eyes dilated with fear. “I turned the flashlight sut instantly,” Bob explained heavily. “I’m sorry I told you. I thought they were enfeaged, and my .sorrow was that Cherry hadn’t told me, had let me fall in love with her, had let me kiss her —” “Chenry isn’t engaged to Chris Wiley, Bob,” Faith told him, her mind reaching ahead of her tongue, trying to find a way to ease the pain and to shield Cherry at the same time. “She has refused to marry him. I know that for certain. I believe he had lain in wait for her at the party tonight—l’m sure he wasn't Invited; just saw hes arrive with Chester, maybe—l believe he hid in the grounds and waited for her to come out, then forced his attentions upon her. “I honestly believe that, Bob, for reason that I can’t tell you. I know she’s afraid of hem—despises him. You know how it is in the movies sometimes?” she went on rapidly, seeing relief suread slowly over his haggard face. "The man gets only a glimpse, it looks compromising, he jumps *to the wrong conclusion—” She felt that she was being foolish, but in her desperate need to shield Cherry—whom she loved better than anything in the world, In spite of Cherry’s selfishness—and to wipe that look of torture from Bob Hathaway’s face, she could think of nothing better. • "Maybe you’re right,” he said huskily. “Maybe I’ve just jumped to conclusions. You—you’re awfully good, Faith.” Clumsily he caught at her hand, laid it against his hot cheek for a moment, as if to draw comfort from its coolness, then, looking ashamed and embarrassed because of all he had revealed, he groped for his hat. “Bob, promise me one thing.” Faith laid a detaining hand upon his arm. “Promise you won’t go back to George Pruitt’s party. You didn’t take a girl, did you ? Than go on home and sleep on this and don’t take life so seriously—” she smiled at him with shy humor “not even kisses.

“Whether you like it hr believe It, girls do—flirt, you know. I don’t mean,” she hastened to say, because his eyes were clouding with pain again, “that Cherry was flirting with you. I know she likes you—a great deal. But she’s young, and I wouldn’t—rush things, Bob. She has a lot of beaus, and she likes several of them —a great deal. Be patient with her, Bob. Make her love you, if you can. It will be good for Chert y.” When he had gone, his promise given, the exultation of self-sacri-fice, of shielding the irresponsible little sister that she died down, leaving her heart pinched with pain. She flung herself upon the davenport and pounded a cushion with clenched fists, in an agony of grief and self-pity. She had saved Bob for Cherry, who probably would not want him, who certainly would not marry him if —as she had boasted—she could land George Pruitt. She had given the man she loved over to certain misery. Even If Cherry should come to love him, should marry him eventually, she would crush the heart out of him, strangle his dear, boyish j idealism, complete the job that that i other little flirt had begun of making a woman-hating cynic of him. If , there had been no Cherry, he might 'have loved, her, Faith. He had 1 come to her in hig pain. He had said she was like that “earth mother” in the play. have made him happy—- “ Your Ma's woke up, honey. I think youjd better give her some of that medicine the doctor left.

TRIES FOR FAME;. FAILS, RETURNS TO SCHOOL, WINS Interesting Story of a Girl Who Would Not Give Up at First. Isy Gene Cohn NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—Moviana is filled with chronicles of the rising and waning of stars. * But in all the confused lore of this kaleidoscopic industry there is no parallel for the strange case of Mona Palma. This attractive young person has been almost at the top of the ladder, only to fade out of the picture, and, refusing to accept such a fate, she has risen to a higher point overnight under another name with scarce a person knowing it. If all this seems a bit confusing, let me start at the beginning: An attractive young model from the commercial studios went to the movies about four years ago under the name of Mimi Palmeri. It's not easy to remember the lames of leading ladies of there years back, but fbis Mimi was cast in one important I role after another. ' Somehow she never quite leaped

The trouble was she had succeeded too easily; she hadn’t studied basi^technique. Not man/ months ago anew student appeared at the P.iramount movie school at Astoria, L. I. She gave the name of Mona Palma. She showed more than ordinary talent, and yet she studied hard and indicated great interest in her work. They Notice Her To all intents and purposes she was just another student at the school. She was graduated laqfc winter and they gave her a small part in “The Gods,” and another picture. She had learned a lot and they began to notice her. This Mona Palma was surely a precocious junior. Recently Thomas Meighan began casting about for anew leading lady for his great picture, “The Canadian.” He some one of the Florence Vidor tjqie, he said, and the casting director sent his practiced eye roving over all the prospects. He thought of Mona Palma and sent her to Meighan. Presto! She was Thomas Meighan’s new leading womafi. Which, of course, means she will leap closer to stardom than ever.'

DIRECTOR RUSHES PLANS FOR COUNT TOLSTOY’S FILM l . Carewe to Stage Big Event for Inspiration Pictures Soon. Several outstanding stories are to given the screen during the coming season. Among these will be “Resurrection,” the Immortal love tale written by Count Leo Tolstoy. Edwin Carewe, rtte American producer-di-rector, in association with Inspiration Pictures, Inc., will produce the Tolstoy novel and Carewe will direct the story. When Carewe returned to Hollywood this month, he brought with him from New York, Count Ilya Tolstoy, eldest son of the novelist. Count Tolstoy is going t 0 assist Carewe during the production of “Resurrection.” He will be valuable, because Carewe, being a wise director, will listen to his advice. Tolstoy knows when a window should be “opened”, not "raised.” He knows Russia. He knows the customs, mannerisms and the little touches so necessary to a production of the type of "Resurrection.” Tojstoy was with his father when he wrote “Resurrection” and Carewe has played the leading role of the story many times on the stage. He has cherished a desire to make a big cinema production out of the story. Now his opportunity has arrived. He will not be hampered as to time in production apd he has sufficient money to make the type of picture he has aimed to make during these past years.
