2y THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, APRIL 28, 1930. AU A | 'SYNOPSIS: Beteween starva- tien and Byrams, Jacqueline Grey chooses the latter. She swallows her pride and asks Keswick Dell for reinstatement #s 'a model. Knowing she ulti- mately will again have to con- sider Mr. Dell as a prospective Husband she asks him for a week to consider his former proposal, and he eagerly as- sents, sensing victory. Failing in his efforts to find Jacqueline, Teddy depresses the atmosphere of the House of Montrose and Mis indulgent, sympathetic miother vainly strives to comfort him. He is determined to marry Jacqueline or no one, Chapter 37 TEDDY'S GIRL Keswick Dell rubbed his- hands furtively. He was keyed up with excitement. It was just a week since Jacqueline had returned to the firm, and today he was due to re- ceive her answer, Jacqueline had given no indica- tion what her answer would be. Bhe was different from the Jacque- line of the old days. The merry laughter and the bubbling spirits were gone. She was subdued—al- ost meek. There was a new hu- mility upon her. But in this new guise Keswick Dell found her even moie desirable. He had just rung the bell, and presently Jacqueline walked into his office. “Miss Grey,” he said, in his busi- ness voice, “T want you to show some models to a very important customer. She is the wife of the chairman of the board of directors. Emily Gibbs has got the models ready. Of course, the dear old lady is about three times your size, but she. insists on seeing all the latest Paris models. Rush off, my dear, and get into the frocks.

The thud of her fall brought Kes- | wick Dell and Emily Gibbs up with a rush, but Lady Montrose had Jacqueline’s head on her arm and waved them away impatiently. “Don't fuss,” she sald. “Get me some water.” Emily Gibbs flew off to get the water. “I am very sorry, your ladyship,” | began Dell. } “Sorry. What for?” snapped her ladyship. “That pened.” “So am I. This girl is ill. Any- body with any sense could see that this should have hap- she was ill, She is not fit to be procmenading about. She ought to be in bed. What are you going to do with her when she recovers?” “That's all right, your ladyship. She will be off duty for the rest of the day.” “Of course she will be off duty. She ought not to have come on duty. But what are you going to do with her, that's what I'm asking?” “I'll have one of the girls put her to bed upstairs.” “Where? In one of those dread- ful dormitories, I suppose; and get better or die, whichever she likes. T won't have it. I am going to take her to my home.” That was the sort of thing Lady Montrose did, when she thought she would. “My dear began Dell. “I say I am going to take her home, so don't fuss, Is there a man here who can carry this girl out tc my car? No, of course there isn't. 8Send somebody out for my son. He is waiting in the car.” Lady Montrose—" ship is waiting.” A few minutes later Jacqueline Teddy found his mother kneeling Envious feminine eyes turned on Jacqueline and Teddy. glided into the private salon In a beautiful evening frock of mauve silk, which made her a dream of gitlish loveliness. On a settee, attended by Keswick Dell, sat Lady Montrose. Jacque- line promenaded gracefully back- wards and forwards in front of the wife of the chairman of the board.| Her ladyship’s style of dress was old fashioned, but she was a kind- hearted old soul, and the sweetness of Jacqueline’s face fascinated her. She had had one other child be- sides Teddy—a girl, who had died when she was three years old. She would have been just about the age of this girl now. Perhaps she might ‘have been as beautiful.

As ti abused and down-trodden husband his speeches brought continual laughter. He gave a perfect repre- sentation of the middle-aged travel- crying and nagging for 25 years. until, like the proverbial worm, he turned. Josephine Kilburn gave an exce lent representation of the weep bawling wife who always broki into “spring weather,” when there would not get her own way. Ofie of the best bits of acting in the play was performed by Wil- liam Cashen as Phil Clark, the young lover and business man. He| his hands and they were always expressive of what he was saying., His voice was pleasant and there was variety in his tones. His part on the salon carpet, bending over a beautifully dressed girl whose face he could not see. “What’s the disturbance; mater?"” he asked. “Teddy, this girl came over ill while she was showing a frock for me. I think she is very ill indeed, and I am going to take her home, and keep her with us for a few “Good egg,” said Teddy, not vast- ly surprised. “Will you carry her out for me, Teddy?” “Sure, I'll carry her, said Teddy. He went down on his knees, bent over Jacqueline, lifted her and looked in her still white face. And for a moment his heart stood was not as melodramatic as some 2 |the National Committee of the Re- ling man who stood his wife’s| seemed to be some danger that she | knew just exactly what to do with| of the others and therefore harder to portray but he succeeded in tak- ing the role with distinction *o himself. Bernice Edwards had one of the spectacular parts in the play—that of Gladys Livingston, the over- bearing, quarrelsome sisier. Both her gestures and her voice suited the actions she represented. Ber- nice has a splendid voice, which she used to advantage, changing it as the meaning of her speeches de- manded. In the role of Patricia Livingston, the neglected younger daughter, Vieno Wahto committed herself very well. She made a very pretty Patsy who triumphed in the end, | winning Phil, the man she loved, in spite of the opposition of her | sister.

Angus Gair as the tough taxi driver, Trip Busty, was splendid. ' Tauno Nie- mi, as Francis Patrick OFlanni- gan, portrayed very well “that common lawyer.” ‘The stage was very ngfiucfively decorated as a lving room.

You must, be tired. You are tired. I can see by your eyes. Come and sit down here with me. I should like to talk to you.” “If you please, madam,” said Jacqueline, “I am not allowed to sit down in these dresses.” “Stuff and nonsense,” replied her ladyship. “Mr. Dell, I want your young lady to sit down and talk to me, and she says she musin't. Is it a rule that your young ladies are not allowed to sit down?" “Not in these dresses, your lady- ship,” replied Dell. “It would ruin them for showing.” “Very well, 1 am buying this dress, Mr. Dell. T've got a niece ho will adore it. Put it down to my account. Now, my dear, come and sit down with me.

Through the long sale rooms, un- der the curious and excited eyes of the girls, he walked slowly and carefully, carrying her and looking down into her pale still face. Lady Montrose followed behind. And there was not a girl who saw it all who would not have fainted very cheerfully if she could have been carried like that in the arms of the glorious Teddy. .Teddy stepped carefully into the closed car, still holding his light burden in his arms. = He sat down, nursing her like a baby. Not for the world would he have released her then.
