§ HIS FLIGHTED | j
ROMANCE
By RICHARD CONNELL
(©. Doubled&y, Paige & Co., Garden CJty* N.Y.)
P. ELMORE COWLEY stopped ids
car. Ho stopped it expertly,
with one manicured band on the brake.
He stopped It with a devii-may-care
nonchalance. His features wore an
aloof, superior suille; his manner, as
he surveyed his car, was slightly bored,
and had a touch of hauteur about It;
it was P. Elmore Cowley’s imitation of
an English duke as played by a motion
picture actor reared In a barber shop.
In his mind's eye his car was a costly
limousine of foreign extraction, a roar¬
ing, titrobbing bull of n car, with racy,
rakish lines. Actually it was an ele¬
vator in a big Sixth avenue depart¬
ment store. ft
Daily now, for tlire\ years, P. El¬
more Cowley had piloted the elevator
up and down, down and up. He was a
youngish, plumpish, blondish man; if
he bad but half an inch more chin he
could have posed for collar advertise¬
ments. In the tone of a lord of the
manor addressing his tenants, he said;
crisply:
“Going up! Step to the rear of the
car. Don’t crowd, madam. There are
other cars. Going up!"
Again he brought Ids car to a stop.
In swift, mechanical accents he an¬
nounced :
“Second flood! Men’s and boys’
clothing, groceries, fishing tackle,
mops, lampshades, punching-bags, toys,
laces and bathing suits. Anybody want
second? Going up! Step to the rear
of the car, please. ■
Up he went. He stood very erect
and stem at the throttle. In his mind’s
eye he was a colonel In the red and
gold uniform of his majesty’s Royal
Lancers; actually his uniform was
gray and bore on its sleeve the mono¬
gram S. & K., which stood for Stein &
Katz, who owned the store. He stopped
the car so abruptly that a lady passen¬
ger almost swallowed her artificial
teeth.
“Third floor!” he chanted. «< Ladles’
shoes and blouses, children’s hats and
wraps, art goods, hardware, negligees,
hair goods, clocks, hats, books, stoves,
furs and pianos. Going up 1 Step to
the rear of the car, please 1”
The elevator slid skyward. Mentally
P. Elmore was cruising up Fifth ave¬
nue in his roadster, an heiress by his
side; he was wearing white spats and
smelled of Parisian perfume; this was
his constant day dream. The figure
“4” painted on the floor Jerked him
back to real life, caused him, by habit,
to stop his car and automatically call
out:
• • Fourth floor! Ladies’ and misses’
cloaks, suits and evening gowns, phono¬
graphs, toilet goods, underwear, tires,
corsets and rugs! Going up! Step to
the rear of the car, please. ft
P. Elmpre Cowley wag.worldly. He
coveted things of the flesh—limousines,
monogrammed cigarettes, silk pajamas,
caviar for breakfast, a duplex apart¬
ment on Park avenue, and no work. It
stmek him that the easiest way to at¬
tain this bliss was to marry an heiress
who would support him in the style to
which he was unaccustomed. He felt
sure that he was the mental equal of
an.' heiress; he had once read a book.
But how could he meet an heiress?
That was the problem. No doubt he
had carried many dollar princesses in
his car; but an elevator is a poor place
to start a romance.
P. Elmore went about it scientifical¬
ly. He saved his money; he purchased
(second hand) a dinner Jacket and a
pair of white flannels. He Invested his
savings In a week-end at a fashionable
summer hotel. There he contrived to
Introduce himself to Eloise Lubbock,
daughter of the flypaper king, rated at
three million. P. Elmore made sure
of that, first of all. Eloise was plain
and rather bulky, but it was the figure
in her bank book that captivated P.
Elmore. He worked fast. One word
led to another. She invited him to
visit her in the fall at her parents'
apartment on Riverside drive, Then
lie returned to town—and the store.
He was sorry he could not linger; but,
he explained, Wall street needed him.
Fall came. P. Elmore Cowley, in a
snappy suit, set ferth to conquer. He
look Miss Lubbock to ilie theater, lie
told her all about the book lie h i.i
read: he dropped hints about direr,ors
meetings, and big deals In oil nrhi
sugar; lie mentioned running llll'
Ur ie Vandergllt at ^lie club, he e.\
pressed regret that Ids town car urn
roadster were both out of commission
and apologized for bringing her hone
hi a vulgar taxieab. Toward mldnlgln
he and Miss Lubbock returned to tin
lofty apartment house wjiere dwelt
her parents.
“But I’m sure we met before, she
wns saying, ft' There’s something so fa¬
miliar about your face—
•“Perhaps we met at the Piping Rock
Hunt club.” lie suggested, “or at some
purty,ut the Ritz or Sherry’s. Or may
tie it was at Newport or Monte Carlo
Or. perhaps, you saw me playing polo,
somewherei” .
1 wonder'where it was,” she repeat¬
ed, puzzled.
They had stepped into the private
elevator and she pressed the button.
Softly the 11 car stole up. It stopped.
On the door I’, liliuore Cowley saw
painted the flgnre “4.” Swiftly, me
chanlcally he called out:
"Fourth floor! Ladies’ and misses'
clocks, suits and evening gowns,
phonographs, toilet goods, underwear,
tires, corsets and rugs! Going up!
Step to the rear of the car, please!”
Then site knew.

ENTIRE ZIEGFELD “FOL¬
LIES” CHORUS IN “THE
GREAT WHITE WAY I
The pulchritude of the Ziegfield
Follies” girls has won for many of
them lucrative offers in motion pic¬
tures and individually some of them
have gone far on the screen._______The
world famous beauty chorus as a
whole, however, appears in a cinema
production for the first time in “The
Great White Way, H at the Alamo
theatre Monday and Tuesday.
The turf and the ring, along with
the leaders in these two branches of
sport, are graphically brought to the
screen in this picture of life of the
great metropolis. One of the big
features is a realistic prize fight in
which Pete Hartley, well known light
weight contender, battles Oscar
Shaw, leading man of the film.
This scene includes such sporting
celebrities as Tex Rickard, who ap^
pears as promoter; and Johnny Gal
lagher as referee, Others who ap¬
pear around the ring or in training
quarters of Madison Square Garden
are Irvin S.. Cobb, Damon Runyon,
u Bugs” Baer, Billy De Beck, “Kid ft
Broad, Tammany Young and H. C.
Witwer, author of the story.
Another thrilling feature of “The
Great White Way” is the big race
scene filmed at Belmont Park on Fu¬
turity Day.
Peanuts are used in making nine
varieties of wood stains.
