Only it had arrived sooner than he had expected. “There’s no rush. so far as that’s concerned,” Gentleman Jim said carelessly. Big Nose eyed him sharply. “Don’t crowd your luck too far. Jim,” he warned. “You’ve been havin’ a run of it to make a jack- rabbit iealous, from what I hear wavs used to say to make -up and get out while last night—well, vou’d ought to know what I mean.

You can’t keep on ridin’ two horses heading opposite ways! On the one side was what he had come after. comparative safety—the always doubtful safe- ty of a hunted man. On the other side— On the other side was a girl, and that intangible thing called honor. A girl who would hate him when she knew, in any case. An honor which no one would ever sense or attribute to him. And, alongside the two, certain dis- | aster. It could be no other way— “Do I have to throw a rope over that limb up there and get it around your neck to at- | tract your attention?” He became aware that Big Nose was talking, a_peevish note in_his_ voice. “What's eatin’ you, Jim?

Of course, you might say, “Why should he be mad?” The boy with the golden voice earned a mere | $1,100,000 in 1951 and his money- | making ability this year. | Lanza has called a halt to the | |fetid he had with MGM over aj period of months. The battle was | pretty well hushed up, but the tenor reported it was for real, as the comics say. | “I was entirely wrong,” he re- | marked with a candor unusual for {a film star. “I was headstrong |and unhappy. I acted rashly and jnow I regret it. From now on, |my relations with the studio will | be nothing but pleasantness.”* However, he intimated that the | studio was in the wrong, too. He | | denied that the dispute was over | | money. j “There never was any difficulty over money,”’ he explained. ‘Look | lat my earnings for 1951. You'll see that my film salary accounted | for only $150,000; the world-wide | gross from records will come to | about $600,000. I never have asked for more money from the studio. I don’t ned it and I don’t want iit. “The real difficulty was because | certain officials of the studio were greedy. I had made a hit in ‘The Great Caruso,’ and they wanted | to cash in on it. They wanted to | }put me in any kind of picture, just to capitalize on my popularity. They also broke promises which | | meant very much to me. | “T had been promised time off | |for a singing tour of Europe. The | highlight was to be my singing on the opening day of the opera! | at LaScala, he first time an Amer- | ican had been accorded that honor. | Americans have sung at LaScala, | but never on opening day.
