The New Movie Magazine One Starry Night {Continued from page 113) thing myself," laughed Johnny. So, with their feet reposing on the imported velvet upholstery, the two friends surveyed each other even as Ulysses and Agamemnon might have clone after the sack of Troy. "Like old times," hazarded Johnny, ''You and me riding back to the campus after one of our old pee-rades." "Then we had to pay ten cents to ride in a street car and tonight we're being chauffeured in a Rolls." "What's the difference? It's us being lis that counts." "You're right, Johnny. It seems to me on occasions like this I always slept the last few miles home." "I'll beat you to it," said Johnny. So as the competent chauffeur threaded his way through the narrow downtown streets, bowled along broad Wilshire and finally cork-screwed his way up the perilous road that led to Johnny's mountainside villa, the two friends slept, oblivious and content. When the car finally stopped at the porte cochere they woke, refreshed and sober. As they stepped out, Mule paused and drew in great drafts of the keen night air. "Mind if I look around a bit?" "Of course not. You see right over there behind the shrubbery is the Italian garden. The fountain is a genuine importation — cost thirty thousand, but it's the only one like it in California. On the second level is my swimming pool and tennis court. We'll have a whirl at both in the morning. And way down below — that red-tiled building — is my stable. I'm g'oing in for polo in the spring." "It's beautiful," said Mule sincerely, "It's marvelous. But it's not good enough for you, Johnny." "Or for you either, Mule. It's damned foolishness to think of you going back to coal and ice in Omaha. Between Sylvia and Arabella and me, we'll get you into pictures. If you don't like acting, there's the business end. Plenty of money in that, too." "Oh, lay off, Johnny! I'd look swell in pictures, I would. All I've done my first night is to get you into a fight and assist in a bust up between you and this here Arabella." "Oh, don't worry about Arabella," said Johnny easily. "She'll call up in the morning and, after I've had her on the line for about half an hour, I'll consent to forgive her." "Then what happened tonight won't make any difference?" "Not a bit of it. We've had these things before — plenty of 'em. No — it won't make the least bit of difference." "Well I'm glad to hear that," said Mule with unaffected relief. "It's done me a lot of good to find you so happy and set out here. You see — well, one of the reasons I came was to tell you I'm the fellow Mary Winton's going to marry in the Spring." "Mule! — You don't mean it? — you and Mary!" "Sure, now you see, don't you, why I ducked out on that Sylvia Mama ? Why Johnny, what's the matter? You aren't sore are you? I thought that with Arabella and everything " "Sore, of course, I'm not sore. You and Mary — it's the greatest thing I ever heard of in all my life! I want the whole story from you in the morning. Here comes Kito now to take you to your room." "G'night, Johnny. Great to have seen you." "Great to have seen you. Mule." Kito led Mule through the carved, arched doorway, but Johnny remained behind. For a moment he steadied himself against the marble balustrade of his terrace, looking down on his possessions. Below him lay his landscaped gardens, his tennis courts, his swimming pool and polo stables. Beyond that the "million dollar view" — dark slope of hill, dipping down to a twinkling plain of lights that stretched interminably to the sea. Beyond that the misty vastness of the Pacific itself. Beyond that — nothing!
