And the old-timers around the Astor tables chuckle as they recalt his father, Lewis Selznick, one of a few persons around whom all early movie history must be written. It was the elder Selmnick, who had been run- ning one of those bargain jewelry shops, who launched Clara Kimball Young on her career, and who is system as it was later developed by Adolph Zukor, and others, At any rate, one of the Broadway legends has it that when Selanick be~ gan to make big money in this amazing new amusement industry, he got a bit swanky and appeared at the Astor with a Japanese valet. But certain East Side gastronomte de-} lights could not be traded by him for Astor food—or any other swank hotel food, for that matter. It was whispered that he had taught the valet to pickle herring in the traditional fashion, and that he used to go to his room to eat it.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER V NATALIE PRICE reached a glit- tering, jewel-encircled wrist to- ward the French telephone. In the low, drawling tone the smartest debutantes were affecting she said slowly, “This is Nat.” There was a pause. Then the girl's face flashed into radiance. “Oh, Mark, darling,” she exclaimed, “I'm so glad! Yes, I waited on the chance you might call. Tried to get you at the house but they said you'd gone. Ob, you will? Angel, aren't you sweet!” Natalie’s laugh was throaty, insinuating. “Well, then, hurry. Natalfe craves her ol’ Marky-Mark! Bye, darling.” She put down the instrument, turned and called sharply to the maid across the room. “Get the white dress, Marcelle! I'll wear it after all. Hurry!” At once there was excitement in the modernistic mauve and silver boudoir. Wherever Natalie Price was there was likely to be excite: ment. Only Marcelle, the French maid, knew what tempests could arise over a last-minute change of her mistress’ costume. _ Natalie stormed. Marcelle cajoled.- Gar- ments went hurling through the air and Natalie’s voice became shriller, louder. Tonight the bustle and stir were in vain. It was nearly 10 p. m. when Natalie, resplendent in scarlet cloak and white satin, came trip- ping down the circular stairway to meet the young man below. She ran down the half dozen stairs, stopped suddenly beside the newel post and pouted fetchingly, “What makes you be so mean, Mark?” she wheedled. “You said you'd be on time.” Mark Travers, handsome in his dinner clothes, smiled. “Sorry,” he said, “something held me up. Well, shall we go?” eee ‘OOLLY she regarded him, took the cigaret from his fing ind placed it to her lips.

Since he did not respond she drew away impatiently, “Well,” she said crossly, “it’s certainly from entertaining here! Let's go to Monty's. Maybe the crowd will help thaw you out. And it you’re not going to admire me at all Pil have to pick up some- body who will.” ‘Travers grinned. “Oh, I admire you all right, Nat.

This one wants to dance.” Moving ahead she led the way to the outer door. They went through it and down the steps where the roadster waited at the curb, Mark took the wheel and with a rush they shot into the night. The ‘party. at Monty’s was well under way when they arrived. A half dozen men and women, all of them youthful-looking, all wear- ing evening clothes, were engaged in a noisy game at one end of the huge apartment living room. It was a game in which players shrilled questions at one member of the group who apparently ‘new the answers. Frequently laughter drowned out the questions. From a radio in the next room came strains of a tango. A slim blond youth and a girl in swirling emer- ald chiffon danced at the opposite end of the room. The arrival of Mark and Natalie was greeted with cheers. The couple who had been dancing stopped. The blond youth rushed forward and caught Natalie's hands. “Here you!” he cried, “rescue me from this designing female, will you, Nat? Five minutes mpre and she'll have my watch and chai He turned toward the girl in green. ‘Ol’ Mark will play with you, Ger- aldine. May he prove a better man than I am, Gunga Din!” The blond youth caught Natalle’s arm and drew her toward the win- dows leading outside.

Brad Hart and the girl in green accompanied them. .Only the all- night supper clubs were open in Marlboro at such an hour. They went to one, stayed through a num- ber by a raucous orchestra and pro- ceeded to another which Hart rec ~ ommended. Mark and Natalie danced. There were drinks served.

Why can’t you snap out of it?” He looked tired and a little sleepy. “Sorry,” he said. “Didn't know there was anything to snap out of.” Throwing both arms about the youth’s neck she drew his head down, met his lips with hers. Pres- ently she went inside the house. Travers sauntered down the steps to the roadster, He was after all a youth 23 years old who had never learted any- | thing except how to play and play expensively. He was good looking. He had never wanted anything— very badly—in his life that had not been his, The handsome ma hogany desk at which young Trav- ers occasionally sat-in his father’s elegantly equipped offices was a newer plaything than his other toys. He found it less interesting. Nat Price and her crowd were the boys and girls with whom he had grown up. But it was not of Nat Price he was thinking as he strode down those steps and climbed into the bulky roadster. It was of a girl with wide blue eyes and soft, shimmering hair like a golden halo. The rush of cool air on his face as the car moved forward was stim- ulating. Travers leaned back, en- foying it. Suddenly he sat up with a jerk. He had mad a decision. They went Come on! I know where Monty keeps all the requisites. You can Squeeze lemons—” Another man joined them, inter- rupting. “Hello, Travers,” he said, “Mind if an old fellow like me cuts in? Geraldine promised half an hour ago to give me the next dance.” “That's all right. How're you, Hart? Playing much golf?” “Made 84 yesterday,” Bradley Hart announced smiling. He was older than the others, handsome and rather distinguished looking. His face was sun-bronzed and he was well-built with a tendency to ward the musclar. “Party like this is no place for me,” Hart told them. “Makes me feel like a grandfath Maybe we'd better not try that tango—” “Don't be like that!” the girl in green reproached. “Of course we'll together.
