"You're not in this scene, you dope!" someone hissed in his ear. But it was too late. He was in this scene! The Army fatigues didn't belong in it any more than Lon did, because this wasn't an Army scene at all. There was a garden in it, though, and fortunately someone had left a rake there as a prop. Lon seized the rake desperately and made like a gardener, with his back to the footlights. Nobody in the audience noticed him and he got away with it. But for weeks he was ribbed by the rest of the cast. "Trying to build up your part, huh?" they said. "Trying to get in every scene now!" And they'd laugh like maniacs. Lon loves people but he likes to be alone sometimes, too. During the "Winged Victory" tour, he'd acquired a habit of wandering off by himself when they hit a rew city. He went exploring, not just in tne fancy parts of town but in the poorer quarters, too. He stooged along, gazing into shop windows, asking questions of passersby, learning more about the place in a couple of evenings than most people know who have lived there for years. When the show played San Francisco, there was no performance on Sunday night. Lon went on one of his strolls and eventually found himself in the Chinese quarter. Not the tourists' Chinatown, but the real Chinese residential section. And there on the corner was a movie house with "Lon McCallister in 'HOME IN INDIANA' " up in lights. He stood there, teetering back and forth in his GI shoes, and thinking soberly that he was the luckiest guy in the world. Then he heard soft footsteps behind him, and found himself suddenly surrounded by girls. Pretty little Chinese girls they were, with black eyes that tipped up, and white teeth, and excitement fairly bursting from their faces. "You are Lon McCallister, aren't you?" one of them asked shyly. He admitted it, blushing slightly. They must think he was an awful ham. standing there mooning over his name in lights. But they didn't seem to. They'd all seen the picture and loved it. They asked for autographs, of course, just like any other kids. He stood there talking with them for a long time. Just before he left them, one little girl touched his sleeve. "I never thought anything so wonderful as meeting you could happen to me," she said. "I'll remember it always." china-boy . . . Lon will remember that always. He has intense admiration for the Chinese as a race, anyway, and he's liked all of them that he has met. In Chicago, during the tour, he dated a Chinese girl several times. She was almost unbelievably beautiful, and they had a lot of fun together. He met her by accident. He and his pal, Marty Ritt, wandered into a big Chinese restaurant after the theater one night. Lon, with his usual friendliness, got talking to the owner, who introduced them to his two daughters. The one Lon dated looked a lot like Gene Tierney, which was fine with Lon, who thinks that Gene is a dream walking. The other daughter was pretty, too, and the four of them had an elegant time doing Chicago together. One thing struck Lon funny. You know how Americans are always saying, "I like Chinese food, but it just isn't filling." Well, he and Marty took the girls to a restaurant that served typical American food — tomato soup and steak and baked potatoes and ice cream. The girls seemed to enjoy it, but an hour later, Lon's date said plaintively, "I love American food, but it just doesn't fill me up. Let's go back to father's restaurant and really eat." Lon's fans had given him an exciting fe ^ . vouitvatt „A p\eatf»ne,^ t0 "do is\ove\y-.--r A&&y**„ Bat^**** soaP 001 bail s \ustie • • ' jaai . ota soar* ****** _„oi WEDDING AND ENGAGEMENTX TEN DAYS' TRIALSEND NO MONEY RING Introductory offer: With every order for smart, new.
