‘ Chapter Ten Blow For Kathleen NEITHER spoke for a little while after that. They looked at the countryside, and were thought. O; i ane ‘looing» While Fred ad- mired the’ wt the -sky, the green‘of the foliage, anc the way a small calf awkwardly kicked up its heels, Kathleen was trying to think’ of a way to bring up the subject of her acting. There was no need putting it off, she reasoned. The weeks would be gone almost before she knew. it, and the theatrical peo- ple be teeny And when a 1 want to go places in any line of endeavor, that girl had to grasp.every opportunity. She drew a deep breath. “You remember what you said to me on Saturday night?” she asked. Fred gave her a quick look, “I remember saying a lot of things to you,” he replied, “and I meant em.” one of the girls in ‘Goodbye, Honey Chile!’” said Kathleen. “Remember?” “Sure. You did look that way.” “Then if I do,” Kathleen went on, peteeting courage “maybe you could"do me a favor.” “Sure. What sort of favor.” “It’s about acting.” “Yes?” “I mean oar my looking like it “I have done some acting. Here in Linville, I mean.” “Yes, I know.” “You do? Who told you?” “Mrs. Buxton,” said Fred. “She gave you quite a boost last night when..we were having a little visit in between dances.” : “That was sweet of her,” said Kathléen. “Only I hope she didn’t bore you.” “Oh, no,” said Fred. “I had an idea you'd taken an active part in home-town productions, You see, T’ve béen around quite a bit, and I'm pretty well qualified to pick out the girls with acting ambi- tions in whatever town I visit.” “And you Pa ey me out?” Fred nodded slowly. “And I was rather sorry,” he said. Discouraged “QORRY?” Kathleen was puzzled. “Why?” “Because you’re such a sweet irl as is,” Fred answered. “I ated ‘to feel that you wanted to become an actress—and leave all this.” He made a ea gh a nate of corn. “If I ad my to live over again, Id stay. in a place like Linville. I did come from a small town, you know.” Kathleen was upset. She had expected almost any sort of reac- tion from Fred but this one. Joe discouraging her... . Uncle Frank doing the same. And now— “But” suppose all girls who wanted to act stayed home,” she saic. “What would the world do' for actresses?” “Do-without them,” said Fred. “And ‘that might not be a bad idea, at that.” He smiled wryly. “I read the other day where a man said that he thought Holly- wood ought to shoot fewer pic- tures and more actors. I agree with him—only I think also that there ought to be more wives and mothers, and fewer actresses.” “But:why? You like the theatre, don’t you?” “I suppose it’s more or less in ‘my blood now, after such a lot of time fooling around with it, but—”. Fred stopped short. “Oh, yes, the favor you mentioned. I pe ae it has something to do be: our ambition to be an ac- ress, “Tt has,” Kathleen admitted. “I -—I was wondering if there in| ment. weren't some smali parts you could give me—you know, a bit the regular actors and actresses couldn't do.” Fred was thoughtful for a mo- “Yes,” he said finally, “there are such_parts..There are re in ‘Goodbye, Honey ler” a + “Really?” Kathleen cried. “Oh, T’d love to be in that play!” “You might fit in at that,” Fred continued, “only I’m afraid I can’t do much about it.” “But I thought you had a lot to say about casting.” “Only a rumor. my child. You see, Paul Pennell. and Ruby Howard have invested in this summer theatre venture — and they rule the roost. I mean, they have the definite say-so about who plays what, and so on.” “You mean I'd have to convince them that I could play a part?” said Kathleen. — : 3 “Yes. Especially Paul—since he’s the heaviest investor.” Kathleen frowned. Here she was wasting her time ridin around the country with Fre DeMille, because she had been confident he was the man who could help her—and he wasn’t. “Do you think I might be able to handle one of those small roles?” she asked presently. “You might,” said Fred. “Can’t tell much until I hear you read lines.” About -Joe and Ruby “BUT how can I read lines if I .don’t get a_role?” Kathleen said, a sort of wail in her voice. “That,” said Fred, “is what ac- tresses have been saying down through the ages. Of course,” he added -thoughtfully, “I might pee word about the matter to aul.” : “Oh, would you do that? I'd be ever so grateful.” “Not that it would mean a lot,” Fred_went on. “Paul and I don’t hit it off any too well together, and my suggestions are usually | tossed into discard, However, in your case, he might lend a more ilies ear.” : Kathleen gazed dreamily before her. i ‘ive almost anything,” she ‘tly, “to have a part in that Civil War play.” 5 “Why don’t you mention the matter to Paul, yourself?” said | Fred. “Do you think I should?” “I don’t see why not.
