The romantic girl meets adven- ture in the person of handsome Alan Marshal, playing an irresponsible, Bohemian writer, Joan swept off her feet by this worldly fellow and the pair elope to New York. Joan finds their life in the Bo- hemian Colony of Paris very disil- | lusioning, particularly when even the birth of their daughter fails to awaken her husband to his respon- | sibilities. However, she is too proud 1to return to Vermont to face her ‘kindl\ Aunt William and the boy che jilted, until Marshal is killed in |a duel fought over the merits of a | worthless painting. Then she comes home, realizing | that she still loves Fonda, who has | become a successful young profe: | sor; but it is not until after a seri of dramatic developments that she wins him back. e |CITY TAXPAYERS VOTE ON SEPT. 20 ON BOND ISSUE Proposed Plans According to the present plans, | the paving project will include not iunly the paving of Willoughby from | the Winter and Pond corner (o Twelfth Street but also paving Twelfth and up over the hill by the Governor's House to meet with the paving on Calhoun Avenue, giving the city a complete loop of pave- ment, the Mayor said. | The sewers are planned for the South Franklin and waterfront dis- trict and sidewalk construction will include various parts of town in addition to the sidewalking neces- sary with proposed paving.

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 31.—The life of a portrait painter in Startown must be tough. Azadia Newman wouldn't say so. Azadia would—and did—say quite the opposite. And I doubt if any portrait painter in Startown would come out and say it badly. Unless it might be Willy Pogany, who took: his tinted tiff with Connie Bennett to court and got the worst of it. But I haven't seen Willy Pogany lately, and I've just seen zadia Newman, who is a lovely cr ture to see. Azadia lives on a hillside and you | park below and hike up umpteen stes. I reckon if you're the athletic type — like Scott Colton, Azadia's| handsome new husband those steps are no trick. But if typing is your violent exercise then youTe in no mood for Art after the climb, | Still, between gasps and pants, I | made some notes on the informal | exhibit in Azadia’s studio.

So we two went 'round and ‘round from there. Friendly, understand, and right merrily. Azadia has a sense of humor. She apreciates Ex- pert Criticism from one who can't paint even with a spray gun. “On movie queens generally— leaving out Lombard, Crawford, ite” Swarthout — don’t you think the | artist tends to paint them as they'd like to be painted? As their stu- dios would like them to be paint- ed?” This was the Expert pursuing his theme, doggedly. Azadia wouldn’t budge an inch. “I love doing movie stars,” she said. “They're grand subjec Be- |sides, I'm a movie fan so I've loved getting to know them as I do when they sit for me. And I paint them as I see them.” ‘Well, we didn't get anywhere but it was fun. I still think the life of a portrait painter in Startown must be tough. :I'll have to ask Willy Pogany about it.

Azadia picked out Ar- leen for movie starring long ago, just as a lot of us have been think- |ing Azadia ought to be in pictures herself. | Azadia may be, too, before long. She’s going to take a test “But T'd do pictures only if they |wouldn't interfere with my paint- ing,” she said. “It must come first.” And she means that. She couldn't have done that Gore, that Garner, | that, Huston and those others if she | didn’t.
