It concerns a spurious newspaper- man who calls back-stage and, without saying so, implies delicately that the actors may regret it unless a few shillings are forthcoming. This is how it works: the stage doorman is confronted by a man who hands him a printed card. On the card is embossed John Doakes, The Star-New: “I would like to see Mr. Ford,” he says politely. Right off the bat this has a phoney ring, for reporters seldom approach actors they don’t know without first making appointments. But the actor can't be sure; he deesn't want to offend the press So he says (Mr. Ford in this case), ‘Let him come in.” There is no denying the fact that the intruder is an artful worker He has studied the star’s career; he knows he has been in pictures; he comes in beaming and with hand outstretched. “It’s such a de- light to s you,” he cries. “I haven't seen you since that day on Vire street.
