Advertising Section 111 This Thing Called LoVe Continued from page 103 She awkwardly kicked her way into a cheap light. At first the glare of gaudy cabarets. To Chicago, where, that she might dance at the Friars' Inn, she bought with an advance of her salary yards of blue and pink chiffon, and cut them in strips and bunched them together, haystack effect, from a snug bodice. "I noticed that the women's gowns were tight. Between numbers, I would snatch off a few layers of chiffon," she chuckled. "Soon there were patches of me showing. At dawn I was down to the first layer of chiffon, but I got fired before that wore out — in three days, to be exact." With assurance, and the technique that those toes picked up, she slithered into the still rosier light of the New York cabarets. Broadway's baby was awing with the accelerated gayety of that lane of lights. Then Hollywood welcomed her, hoorayed her, and talked about her. Which is Hollywood's way of enthroning an idol. One saw her everywhere, a whirlwind of glistening stones, sleek silks, trailing perfumes, cigarette smoke and wit. She didn't follow fads. She led the parade. She went stockingless before bare legs became the custom. Her Charleston was the wildest. Her hair changed hue from one shrieking color to another more startling. Dollar marks chased her. Striplings of wealth led her a merry dance. Authors liked to be seen with the most sophisticated girl in town, and chuckled at her witty sallies. Athletes thrilled to her vibrant spirit. The highest stepper of all the frisky flappers was the Hey-hey Girl. Beneath the frail curtain of sequins beat the heart of 3roadway — blatant, carefree, madly merry. Her furious grasp of life was her gay challenge to convention, the accrued interest she felt a right to collect on years of childhood drudgery and ugliness. Her toes had earned it for her. And nobody cared how she flung her youth away, so long as she entertained the crowd. "Know that old Broadway saying about 'dancing with a broken heart' ?" Cynicism edged her laugh, but in a moment self-pity was to ruffle it. "Well, it was more than an antebellum air to me. I am vain, as all girls are. It was thrilling to be pointed out as the Hey-hey Girl who started things humming, the talk of the town, winner of over one hundred dancing-contest cups. Exhilaration doesn't mean contentment, though. I got wise to myself. Yes" — Continued on page 114 THIS HUDSON for PROMPTNESS You've always heard of Lucky Stars! here's your chance to find them and enjoy the Good Luck they bring.
