SIXTH INSTALMENT What Happened Before Remember Steedon comes West to avoid revealing the result of an unfortunate love affair to her father. The Rev. Dr. Steedon, a clergyman of kind heart but narrow mind who attributes much of the evil of the world to the "movies" and constaptly invelghs against them. Mem, her lover, Elwood Farmaby having died in an accident, at the advice of Dr. Bretherick, gives her bad cough as an excuse to get to Arizona and from there writes home that she has met and married "Mr. Woodville," a wholly imaginary person. Later she writes to say that her "husband" has died in the desert. She takes a job as a domestic to avoid being a burden to her parents. A fall prevents her becoming a mother. In Arizona she had met Tom Holby, a leading man in a motion picture company, and through him gets the opportunity to play a part in a desert drama. With the company is Robina Teele, a Star, fond of Holby and Leva Lemaire, an extra woman. After her accident, Mem becomes friendly with Mrs. Dack, a poor woman of Palm Springs, Arizona, and takes an interest in her bright little son. Terry Dack, who has a great gift of mimicry. Inspired by a letter from Leva, Mem plans to go to Los Angeles to take a job in a film laboratory. Now Go On With the Story She told Mrs. Dack and Mrs. Reddick that she had received a call to go to Los Angeles at once. Terry was out of danger, but his arms around Mem's neck were withes she could hardly his second-hand express wagon, helping his mother to pack her bundled wash home to bitter toll. She wrote Terry's mother, urging her to come to Los Angeles without delay; to beg, borrow or steal the necessary funds; to seize the chance to rescue the divine child from poverty and oblivion, and to earn luxury by giving the world the sunshine of his irresistible charm. And the day after she mailed the letter she lost her job. The tide of hard times had engulfed the studio where she was engaged. All but two or three companies were laid off. The laboratory force was reduced to a skeleton. And now the dark room that had come to be a prison cell was as dear a home as the shut cage of a canary that cannot get in again. Pay day came around no more. She had debts to absolve for clothes no longer fresh. She had tomorrow's and next week's hunger dread. The girls at her house were equally idle and their hospitality lost its warmth for lack of fuel. They tried to make the best of idleness. They wore the records to shreds and danced together all day long to pass the time away. Young men who had no money to spend on excursions came to the house of evenings and helped to dance away the tedium. It became a commonplace for Mem to jig about in young men's arms. She learned to dance. She learned to play a little golf, a little tennis. She went on her first beach picnic. And a little later Mem might have been seen in a bathing suit of popular brevity, substituting a general coat of tan for the meaning to answer your question up my affairs so could come up to your day I was to Mrs. Raleigh said she had a telltall but had no address at forward it. It said was so worrrit not anser to her letters linger out on the first reach Palm Springs morrow. Hopping there or here. P.S. Both I and lots of love. Mem was petrified. Stop her mother from blaze of joy at though was quenched in the fire situations her present. Old Steedon had rained been habited to a m light and broken with to bedside troubled by imagined burglars or cough. If her hasty her slippers or one hastened as she was, have paused for a wedge a murderer, a fire or Mem was still the and it did not matter needful and terrified or beyond the desert The mother's one bus to her. Her telegram cry: "I'm coming, hery. Mamma's coming She shot this cry acrid and called Mem "baby felt as old as night. When Remember mother was already could devise no plan back. Somehow she Leva Lemaire, an extra woman. After her accident, Mem becomes friendly with. Mrs. Dack, a poor woman of Palm Springs, Arizona, and takes an interest in her bright little son. Terry Dack, who has a great gift of mimicry. Inspired by a letter from Leva, Mem plans to go to Los Angeles to take a job in a film laboratory. Now Go On With the Story She told Mrs. Dack and Mrs. Reddick that she had received a call to go to Los Angeles at once. Terry was out of danger, but his arms around Mem's neck were withes she could hardly break. The soft hands, the dewy cheeks, the lonely eyes of the child were fetters cruelty tyrannous, but a few days later a taxi deposited her before a tiny place of four or five rooms. This was Leva's home. A servant who opened the door said that "she would not git back from the studio befo' six or happast." She was glad to relieve Mem's loneliness with chatter. She explained that Miss Lemaire lived there with three other ladies, all of them in the movies, but none of them getting their pictures took. They lived here with no more thought of chaperonage than a crowd of bachelors. When Leva and her friends came in at dinner time they came like young business men home from offices, tired of shop, yet full of its talk; eager for amusement, knowing no law except their own self-respect for health or reputation or efficiency. The next morning Mem acquired on tick the brief trousseau of a little business bride. Then she went to the studio with Leva and was assigned to the laboratory projection room at twenty-five dollars a week. A hundred pretty actresses got no jobs at all, for they were seeking glory and wealth. acrobatic agility and power that they should give joy and a delightful sorrow to the public. For which the grateful public would pay with gratitude and fame and much money. One day in Westlake Park she sat down on a bench and by and by was hailed by a sturdy mid-western voice. "Well, as I live and breathe! If it ain't Miss Steddon!" "Why, how do you do, Mrs. Sturggs!" It was a mid-aged woman who had been a member of her father's church and had come west because of her husband's lungs. Mem's first impulse was to welcome anyone from home. Her second was to fear anyone from home. Mrs. Struggs' life in this Babylon had not changed her small-town soul, body or prejudices. Mem's wits scurried in vain to bring up protecting lies. Mrs. Struggs was too full of her own opinions and adventures to ask any embarrassing questions beyond a hasty take-off for her own biography: / "And how's your father and your mother and your whole murderer, a fire or Mem was still the one and it did not matter needful and terrified or beyond the desert The mother's one bus to her.

And now Mem recalled her statement O substitute faith facts of them has to pay to Mem grew grim "The Price"-it was phrase. But she was whatever it was! to whom? She brooded a long thought of a shop to guardonically as she Woman's Exchange as men sold what the china, hammered bra cakes and candles. (Continued New) Sixty Airplane To Mal Will Circle Over fornia Cities Novembl One of the largest history of aviation, planes, will take off politian Airport at Vember 4, visiting the complete goodwill it was announced by chairman of the tour The tour, which business men home from offices, tired of shop, yet full of its talk; eager for amusement, knowing no law except their own self-respect for health or reputation or efficiency. The next morning Mem acquired on tick the brief trousseau of a little business bride. Then she went to the studio with Leva and was assigned to the laboratory projection room at twenty-five dollars a week. A hundred pretty actresses got no jobs at all, for they were seeking glory and wealth. All day she sat in a dark room and ran a little projecting machine that poured forth moving pictures before her on a little private screen. She must watch out for typographical errors, a "to" for a "too," a slip of grammar, a mistake in an actor's or a character's name. Her common-school education was good enough for this, though it was by no means so marvelous as Leva had told her employers it was. The artistic beauties of the picture made her inarticulately happy. For a time she was in a heaven of tumultuous ecstasies. But gradually the delight turned to torture the torture of envy. She was young and she had been told that she was young and beautiful. If God made her pretty it was because He delighted in beauty and wanted known. He did not grow flowers in cellars. He was not afraid to squander sunshine. If the art of mimicry was a God given gift it must be meant for use. She had acted once before a camera there in the desert. She had brought tears to the eyes of strangers. She was an actress by divine intention. She sat in a dark room and watched others people's pictures flow by. It seemed wrong, wicked, cruel. She was mad to act. On the lot Mem saw childern, and they wee always happy. The moths were with the little ones. Going to work was going to play. They live an eternal fairy story. She was told that five-year-old Jackle Coogan had made his mother a present of a big touring car costing seven thousand dollars; that he had a salary of seventeen hundred and fifty dollars a week! She thought of little Terry Dack and been a member of her father's church and had come west because of her husband's lungs. Mem's first impulse was to welcome anyone from home. Her second was to fear anyone from home. Mrs. Strugs' life in this Babylon had not changed her small-town soul, body or prejudices. Mem's wits scurried in vain to bring up protecting lies. Mrs. Strugs was too full of her own opinions and adventures to ask any embarrassing questions beyond a hasty take-off for her own biography: / "And how's your father and your mother and your whole family? Well, as I was sayin' yest'day everybody on earth gets to Los Angeles sooner or later. It's a nice city, too, full of good, honest, plain—o course those awful moving picture people have given the town a— "Such stories as they do tell about their—Why, that Hollywood is just a plague spot on the earth! And the women—little pink ninnies that don't know enough to come in when it—they get fortunes for just making eyes at the camera, and they rent nice respectable homes and hold—well, orgles is the only word—orgles is just what they are. "It's a sin and a shame, and if something isn't done about it—Why, young girls flock there in droves, and sell their souls for—It's simply terrible. Every one of them has to pay the price to get there at all. "I declare it makes my blood run cold just to—Don't it yours?" "I don't believe it," said Mem. She had heard a vast amount of gossip, but she had not heard of anybody paying such an initiation fee. She had seen no vice at all. Mrs. Strugs flared up. There is nothing one defends more zealously than one's pet horrors. "Don't believe it? Why, it's true as gospel! They sell their souls for bread. Any girl that's too honest to pay the price don't get engaged—that's all—they just don't get engaged. Oh, dear! that's my car." Next day the mail brought her a shock in a letter from Mrs. Dack. It said: Dear Mrs. Woodville: I was awful glad to get your letter. Been ANAHEIM GAZETTE Tourists Leave Millions in State Many Coming to California Will Visit This City Anaheim will receive a generous slice of the $200,000,000 to be spent in California next year by more than a million tourist visitors. This is the prediction of A. B. Gray of Sacramento, promoter and manager of the California Tourist Association, an organization that is annually increasing the number of tourists visiting the various communities of the state. "A conservative estimate would be that 650,000 tourists visited this state during the travel season of 1929," said Gray. "This is a gain over the 525,000 estimated for 1928 by Director A. R. Heon of the State Department of Finance in a report to Governor Young." The average tourist leaves at least $200 in California, according to Gray. He has known one tourist who has left $11,000 in the state, and another who spent only $150. This year's tourist crop wasn't as good as usual, Gray said. The season opened late, and thousands of tourists from the east got no further than the Rocky Mountains. If the state has only its normal increase next year, at least a million tourists will enter its gates. Officials of the Tourist Association are men from all walks of life, from Oceanside near San Diego to Yreka near the Oregon line. Wade H. Wilson, editor o the Trinity Journal at Weaverville is president. Manager Gray is a lifelong newspaper man, former state official of Colorado, and for one term United States Marshal for Nevada. Six years of active publicity work convinced him that the crop of tourist dollars could be doubled by inexpensive publicity and distribution methods, and he is now using the California Tourist Association to demonstrate. The association is now maintaining active tourist bureaus at Salt Lake City and in Sacramento. The Salt Lake City bureau is under the management of R.

ANAHEIM - FUEL TWO DEGREES Anaheim 666 Mem was still the baby in the dark, and it did not matter whether she lay needful and terrified in the next room or beyond the desert or the seven soas. The mother's one business was to get to her. Her telegram was the old night cry: "I'm coming, honey. Don't worry. Mamma's coming to her baby." She shot this cry across the continent and called Mem "baby," although Mem felt as old as night. When Remember learned that her mother was already on the train, she could devise no plan for turning her back. Somehow she had to be met and provided for. Every one of the women of Mem's Hollywood household was out of work. She who had savings was lending them to her who had not. And now her mother! With a few dollars from Leva's waning resources, Mem took the train to Palm Springs. With Mrs. Dack and her boy she stood on the platform of the little desert town waiting for the up train, and when Mrs. Steddon dropped off the steps Mem put her right back on again! Mrs. Steddon had been prepared to find a scared and sickly child in a shack in Palm-Springs. She had come as a rescuing angel. She found that her wings and halo were old-fashioned. When they reached Los Angeles they left Mrs. Dack and Terry at the home of a cousin, then sped on to the bungalow, where Leva made Mrs. Steddon welcome. And now Mem recalled Mrs. Sturgs and her statement (so glibly did she substitute faith facts) that "every one of them has to pay the price!" Mem grew grim as she meditated. "The Price"—it was only a vague phrase. But she was ready to pay it, whatever it was! the question was to whom? She brooded a long while before she thought of a shop to visit. She smiled mardonically as she remembered the Woman's Exchange at home where women sold what they made—painted china, hammered brass, knit goods, cakes and candies.
