¥ POLLY AND HER PAYLS SYNOPSIS: The childhood aff. of Harriet Noel and Ar Latour ripens into love. But ctaid Orchard Hill viliag- e, vicwing her marked talent fcr the stage as something sin- ful, frewn on the precpeet of a marriage which would interfere with Tony's entering the minis- try. When Harriet, censing this conflict in their life patterns, rejects Tony's marriage propos- al, in dcsperation he flees with the preceeds of the benefit play in which they had appeared. After he gains a foothold on the New York stage, Tony meets Harriet, whosz father's death has left her free to dudy dramatics there. Re- strained by her devotion to the clage from pleading his love, Teny later is jubilant on learn- ing that they are to appear to- gether under Roy Donovan’s management. Chapter 6 TONY LOSES A STAR Again he, Antonio Latour, Harriet Noel were to pla 'each other as they had played in their school days in the Orchard Hil Dramatic Club. Antonio, considering his Cincin- nati engagement, thought of the rehearsals, the intimacies necessary to the plays and the inevitable in- timacies outside their roles He thought of the memories which professional relationship would of their theatre at the foot of their experiences in their arouse > hill Hill Dramatic Club a ; thousand - inci- in their young lives which they had experienced together. At last in the Cincinnati Play- houze, Antonio and Bob Marshal, another member of the company, Tony attempted to kill the manager were chatting before the first re- hearsal “You heve met Miss Noel, our Jeading lady, I suppose?” said Bob casually. “Oh, yes.” Antonio tried to make his reply as casual as Bob's inquiry, but something in his voice caused his fellow-actor to glance at him curiously. “Hum-m—and do you know this fellow Donovan?” I knew Roy Donovan several years ago,” 1 But again Antonio’s companion lccked at him curiously and seem- ed to be searching his memory for fomething half-forgotten. He spoke with an indifferent air. “I "hear that Miss Noel is very charming and that everybody predicts great‘ things for her.” “Everybody is right,” Antonio re- turned. “Have you not met her?” “No. You see, she only arrived in town last night—came on from New York with that boy of Dono- ¥an's. She'll be showing up here at the theatre some time this aft- @rnoon, 1 suppose. Donovan prob- ably met her train and will bring her to rehearsal” He smiled know- ingly and asked, with another curi- ‘ous glance, “When did you get in?” u Antonio answered shortly: “Six twenty-eight this morning from New York.” He was thinking bitter- %y:“ So Harriet had been in New York and had not let him know ‘She had not answered his last let- ter. She had come to New York and had not even telephoned hum. They could so easily have come on p Cincinpati by the same train. l[md the star she Antonio returned quiet- | ouwwue Rell Whight: | EXI Why was she traveling with the| boy, Bruce C: Donovan's boy? | | And Donovan, it was assumed, had {met her at the train and would | | bring her to rehearsal.” The expression on Bob Mnrflnls‘ | handsome features seemed to indi- | cate that he had found that half- | forgotten thing for which he had |been searching. With his eyes still on Antonio’s troubled countenance he said, “Seems to me I heard that you and Miss Noel grew up to-| gether. “We did," returned Tony. “Hum-m, mused young Mar- shal. “I suppose you have heard the rumors about our manager and our leading lady?” Poor Tony did not answer. He| felt smothered under a terrible weight which had suddenly fallen {upon him. He wanted to cry out, {but something kept him silent. |Then he heard a voice which sounded faint and muffled. It was Bob Marshall saying: “I have it| straight that Miss Noel and Dono- |van are engaged to be married, so| and {1 suppese we will have a pair of | opposite | newlyweds along with our amm, troubles this summer. | Better than any one else in all| the world Antonio Latour knew the purity and nobility of Harriet Noel's character. That such a woman should give herself to a creature {such as he knew Roy Donovan to | be was a thing too monstrous to be believed. But even as he was torn by that emotional turmoil the revelation had raised, Antonio understood how | it had happened. He remembered how Donovan' used to say that all a man needed to make a fortune in the theatrical business was a star and an angel and that if he could would cventually find the angel. | In Harriet Noel the manager had |found his star, by craftily appeal- |ing to those very elements of her nature which should have been her protection. The nobility of her own mind and her almosé fanatical devotion to her art and career had betrayed her. With ostentatious affection for his motherless stepson, Bruce, the Iman had quieted the instinctive {fears and won the confidence of the woman, while with praise of her art and promises to give her |that place on the stage which was her goal in life the manager had won the actress. When we consider Antonio La- tour’s ardent nature and his un- faltering devotion to Harriet Noel GIT AWAY FROM THAT HUMIDOR /! DAG-NAB YE !/ SEEGARS AIN'T FER SCRUTS/ e 1oc.

Old Tony recalls nothing of the following days until ons morning when he found himself back in the little retreat, with its flowers and grass, which he and Harriett had| called their theatre. He must have larrived in Orchard Hill during the night and made his way there with the instinct of a wounded animal. (Copyright, 1930, by D. Appleton and Company) On the recks.
