CHAPTER III A BLUFF AND A SHOWDOWN Max Kane had bad news for Larry Rcrault. Baumann, who hail verbally pfrrreil to star Larry in the play the film star had brought to him, had pone sour on the idea and was going South for his health,.after turning the play over to Jo Stengel. Larry’s wrath was assuaged at the prospect of appearing under Stengel's management until Max told him that Stengel had engaged Cecil Bellamy for the stellar role, and that it might be possible for him to persuade Sten pel — Max had once been, his office boy — to give Larry the rjjlc of the beach-comber. Then Larry went up in the air. “You're asking me to go on and play a part that has but one scene? Loon — get out I Get out!” With the native shrewdness of an actor's agent, Max persuaded the great film star that the role of the beach-comber dominated the play — that the audience would be waiting for him to reappear until the very end. "A pushover. Larry! At the end the audience will be yelling for l you while Bellamy takes the bows! 'I'm going to see Stengel right away. It's just what you need to build you up for the talkies!’ ’ ‘‘He mustn't think I’m after the part. Max. Make him come to me.” "Now, Larry, it ian't done that way. You're an actor.. Well- maybe he'll come to .ace you favor to me. I was Jo's office boy once.'’ So the great film star of the silent days waited for the great New York atage producer to come to his hotel end offer him a r6le of but one scene in the play he had picked himself as a stellar vehicle to prepare the way for a comeback in the talkies! And while he waited, the management of the hotel arrived, asking that he

The nurse entered at this moment and announced that Oliver Jordan, seeming (juite ill, was in the waiting room. Lucy Talbot retired at once while Dr. Talbot had Jordan in for an examination. He tries to keep the seriousness of his diagnosis — coronary artery, thrombosis — from .Iordan hut the latter lot the physi eian understand he was not deceived. He might live for months,. weeks, perhaps only days. While Millicent Jordan was having her own troubles preparing for the dinner that night the aspic, didn’t “set” and the cook had to throw it out, the lobster had gone had anil Ricci couldn't go out for more because he had f|iiarreleil over the maid with a fellow servant, stabbed him and been arrested — Oliver came home from the Doctor’s pale and weak, and Uarlotta Vance lircezed in, having totally forgotten she was dining there at eight, and upset Oliver further by confirming the report he had from his office that, she had sold her Jordan stock. Other stockholders had sold, or I,eon ap proached, ami Jordan know that someone was trying to get his shipping line away from him. As if. that wasn't enough, Paula tried to tell her mother about the state of her feelings for tier fiance and her relations with Larry Renault. Luckily for Paula, Millicent was too distracted to listen to her... The climax of her troubles about that unlucky dinner came a few minutes later. The Ferncliffcs’s sec.re tary 'phoned that Lord and Lady Fcrneliffe couldn't attend the dinner —they had just left for Florida! The financial wizard, boss of Wall Street, came back from Washington, with the offer of a cabinet job, only to meet discord and opposition in his domestic establishment.

They were soon in the midst of a bitter quarrel; recriminations Itcw thick and fast. Kitty's Irish dander was up; she let Dan Packard know he wasn’t the only man in her ife — that while he had been putting over his crooked deals, little Kitty hadn't been sitting at home with folded hands just waiting for daddy to come home. For all his threats, Packard rouldn't get from Kitty the name of the man she'd hen carrying on with. Wild with fury, he cried: “I'll dlvorea jroul I’ll get detectives!

The big question in Hollywood these days is whether Greta Garbo's romance or friendship with Kouben Mammoulhni will be the final means of bringing the Swedish star out of her seclusion. For the second time in a week, Greta dined in ) ublic last Friday. She and Mammoulian occupied tin unobtrusive table at the Russian Eagle Cafe, colorful rendezvous which is guarh-d by a tall doorman in Cossack

Slm qTokktsoft Speaker, Rainey K'e.prese>ttative Byrkd That Congress will stand firmly behind President Roosevelt and his policies when it convenes on January 3, is the prediction of Speaker Henry T. Rainey of Illinois and Representative Joseph Hyrns of Tennessee, Democratic leaders of the House. But opposition is expected from a section of Progressive Republicans led by Senator Gerald Nye of'North Dakota, who threatens his group will run counter to the President unless be eMrou-res real inflation and a big public works program. On the other hand, Senator Hiram Johnson of California, another Republican Progressive, declared the "country must go along with Roosevelt or go to hell economically.” The activities of an organization known as the National Association of Manufacturers, ghost of the outfit led by "Uncle” Joe Grundy of Pennsylvania in the Hoover regime, will be interesting during tha coniine session All they want is the abandonment of the New De»'

Rioth were unanimous in deelar- | mg that “the country is with the I President and the country runs Con- | gress.” Similar protestations of confidence in the President came from prominent members of the Progressive Republican bK -. although some of that group plan to demand radical inflation and price-fixing of farm proi nets. One tin cat >f opposition tame from Senator Gerald Neye, of North Da-

kota, freshfrom a meeting of Western Progn salve, who declared that the group for which he .-q-eaks would run rHinter to the President unless he espouses real inflation and a big public works program- One can only make a vague guess at what the Senator means by “big," for the present PWA program calls for the expenditure of tin Ic-- than $:l,300,000,000, and that figures d-ies not include the figure 1 > lie ss|s'ii ed on the newly-created CWA.
