The contract binds one Thomas Eugene Breen, 15, to serviee for a specified term to Baker and Gene Towne's new production com- pany. For the sum of $10 weekly, young Breen agrees, in addition to routine duties about th Towne-Baker office, to perform special! functions at all previews of the new producers' pictures, to wit: He shall laugh (loudly and heartily) at the right spots; He shall cry (loudly and with tears) at the right spots; In the theatre lobbies, after the preview showings, he shall proclaim loudly that Mes: Towne and Baker are geniuses; And in no circumstances, whatever his personal opinion .on the pieture involved shall be, shall he utter criticism thereof in framt: of witnesses, under penalty of dismissal. Although the document is legally attested and signed; the length of the contract is at best uncertain. There are those who maintain that, come September and schooltime, one Joseph I Breen (sometimes referred to as supreme censor of the. screem): will censor his son's fledgling movie career, send him packing back to his books.

Being a young woman of quick wit, she recovered in time to throw hee: arms, out casually, Little-Egypt fashion, in his direction as she passed on to her booth-—a gesture which fitted in with, rather than interrupted, Frank Morgan’s quiet and amusing version of a moeck strip tease. ‘The tale makes me somehow bitter. I can drop by Chasen’s. time and again, and see actors and actors, people and people, sitting around talking, eating, sipping.
