frankness, proposed thnt they should

only te Heb, who still sltmiihited her
hopes with pleasant possibilities that
they might continue te live Where they
were. And during the day, when Hub
had gene down town upon his wild wild wild
goeo chase after the vestige of their
illhslpati-d fortune, hIu remained aloof
from her daughter, writing conciliatory
notes te persistent dressmakers, whose
demands, illsregiinled tee long, were
new becoming obdurate.

tiful and appropriate. I was able te
recognize most everything played but
the one haunting melody which vvai
played while Dena Sel was iingerlnj
the burp, during one of the 'vatnpiiif
scenes' m( Onllnrde. Can you find out
for me what that selection was, as I
am very anxious te knew, se that I
may ebtnin it. It may net lmve been
clussicnl, but it deserved te he.
"Anether thing in which I suppesi
I am making tin- wrong conclusion it
that I saw- Bey Stewart the ether
night, and during some of his dramatle
moments he gave me a haunting im
pression of Kirkwood. There Is soifie seifie
thing rugged and virile nbeut the faces'
of these two men that during emotional
periods of acting cause me te compare
them. Am I right or wrong?"
Possibly that "haunting melody"
played as an accompaniment te Dent '
Sel's "vamping" of Oullarde was Saint
Saens' "Serenade." All theatres (te
net use tlie same musical program for
a picture, It's dillicult te answer
jour question, but that was the tlienil
suggested by the producers and it vvai
used during the first showing of tht
picture here. By tlie way, wlmt'rt
you trying te de, make my job border
than it is? Hew de you expect tne te
knew such things? I'm supposed te
knew only movies and, judging from .
the fans' letters, I don't knew then
cry well. However, comma.
I never noticed any resemblance b
tween Kirkwood and Stewart.
