CONFESSIONS
OF A MOVIE
STAR
CHAPTER 11..
I'M A MYSTERY TO POLLY
BEGIN HERE TODAY.
Fhe story is told by May Scotto,
a girl who attained stardom in the
movies when she was about sixteen.
Leading characters in the story are
her guide and guardian whom she I
calls Mothedear; Ci s\ Sheldon, at
Vain It ading man; Nandy Anderson, j
a publicity writer, ami his wife, Pol
ly, and McMasters, a producer who
believes his girl stars should have had
“experiences." Then there are oth
er actors ami actresses.
GO ON WITH STORY.
‘ ' Idon’s fan mail! Consid-
■•r i o 'e of it!" Polly \nder
t'tm exclaimed, ".lust think how it
would scar Sheldon's vanity to be told
that there s one girl in this world who
doesn't want him to kiss her!"
“He knows it, all right!” I said.
Mot hci dear regarded me with per
plexity!
Ive always considered Sheldon
vprj ■■ of a gentleman. lii
manners indicate a careful bringing
up."
Polly gave her husband a swift
glance. She is not so very old, but) 1
she ~ always looking at me, the com
pany ■ youngest star, in such a su
perior way! A* if there were heap
ami heaps of things going on in the
world which I don', know a thing .
about ! * 1
Meth', rdear looks just that way
semeiimes. Only Polly Anderson,’
looks as if . >e thought it would be ’'
better tor me if I did understand, '
while Motherdear seems much in
doubt! : ■
"Mtty, |<-i’- he serious!” Nandy,
spoke with decision. "The idea that .
- 1 ' .- living vie star doesn’t likt
to ho kissed by a movie hero like
Ci- sy won't take with the public 1
a-tnll!”
■‘But it's perfect!), true of me! So
why can’t, you say so?”
“ ,; ’s all in the business, .May, j
dear!” interrupted Mrithordcar in he,
philosophic tone.
My pride was pricked.
“But. despite Cissy, I leave it to ,
you. Nandy—haven’t I done my sen- ,
timeiital best in "Bonded Love?” I I
demanded.
‘ ”\“ u '*■ T‘ ” n •' perfect peach,-
i ■ Nandy was enthusiastic. ,
“Even Denmison was surprised."

1 didn ; try to explain.
All I knew about mv system of
acting was that the business came
2. 1 .. as the scenario progressed.'
VVitin the director shouted “Caa-mer.
a-a! 1 moved on the stage as if I
wore in a world of my dreams.

I was playing, saint or sinner!

Twins as he folded lift the Fairy
Queen’s letter, “is to find the rain

end of it is. look there for the hag
of gold that the gnomes have hidden.”
With that he turned Curly's head
—his sea-horse steed, you know—
back to the place by the sea weed
ggrove where he watched the traffic.
Nancy and Nick looked after him
thoughtfully. One would have
thought that he was telling them
how Io find the corner grocery to
buy a lolly-pop, instead of hunting
bags of gold at the foot of rainbows.
As though rainbows and gold-hags
were the most every-day things in
'he world! Not that they were dis
couraged— not. a bit of it, only it
was one more thing that was queer

full of queer things, too.
Suddenly something very bright
glided by, omething long and grace
ful and striped with the most beau--

arm. “Look!” she cried. “There it

; in the weeks before.
Late that afternoon 1 went out to
:tlie summer house and there, sitting |
ion the bench, 1 tried to come to a I
jsanc point of view.
I struggled vainly with myself,
! telling myself that the loss of one
i man could not. shadow my life for

As I walked up the path I looked
up toward Lila’s room.-. Light was
glowing in the windows. 1 tried to
imagine* the difference between this
and the other twiligh' scenes the
I floor lamp in her rooms had shed its
i rays on. I knew that Lila must be
! happier now than she had been, even
though her husband was in a doubtful

honest. And unless love can be hon

1 was a little bit jealous of the

in all the world who needed me, and
most of all a woman needs to be

I picked up the receiver and a

The voice asked me who I was,
and then when I gave my name, said
that 1 would do as well as any one.
“I am Margaret Howard, Philip
Ames’ stenographer,” I heard the
voice say.
“Yes,” I replied, wondering why
she should bo calling.
“Mr. Ames,” her voice faltered. J
heard her sob hysterically—“ Philip
Ames has just killed himself!’
