Pat's Awakening Continued from page 46 traded with an Irish grocer, ignoring the Jew farther down the road. But when credit was exhausted, the Jew came to the house and said, "You come down to my store and get what you want. You pay me back some day." That man's daughter married Sam Rothafel, or "Roxy," the theater owner. His kindness won Pat's gratitude, and made him exceedingly more tolerant of all. "It's always that way," he mused, eyes upon the brightly garmented stars motoring along the Boulevard in all their expensiveness. The sunlight that streamed into the club, slanting our window table with gold, fell full upon their lavish luxury of furs and gleaming cars, garish in that broad lane of light. "The ones you think are your closest friends forget, and those you least expect come to the mark. "Picture people? Only two stuck. Shirley Mason was a peach. She would take the kids out, buy a nice piece of goods for a dress for Lillian, or clothes for the children. She was always thinking of something to do. Nan Howard, Director Bill's wife, helped. Otherwise the movie crowd didn't bother. Old ladies would come in and mend stockings, or relieve Lillian in some way. Neighbors, not actors' wives. And the men who offered me financial loans were outside acquaintances." There is no rancor in Pat's outlook. He doesn't blame the gay, bright cinemese. Many have obligations, some are teetering perilously themselves, the majority are thoughtless rather than callous or ungrateful, and all are busy. However, lessons are learned from fair-weather friends. "Some people crab when a man is careful of his cash. Saving isn't being miserly. You invest in public utilities, or a factory, anything that helps business and employs others. You draw a comparatively small interest, but your money is safe, and it spreads happiness, gives others a chance to share your success in a constructive way. Suppose you spend it on the night clubs, or parties and cafes. Stoking rich food that undermines health, gin that ruins well-being and morality. You build the wrong kind of factory. "You can't beat the law of compensation. It's like gravity. What goes up comes down — regardless of the Einsteins. There must be self-discipline and denial, to some extent, if your life is to be balanced and of any use." None of his remarks, couched in even tones, had a very sentimental twang ; nothing seemed to be said for effect. He didn't make a drama of his misfortunes and rehabilitation. He simply stated facts and conclusions, in a matter-of-fact way. How much more impressive is truth, simply told ! "When I was flying high, our household expenses were fifteen hundred a month," he replied to a question. "Maid, chauffeur, and nurse. People to pick things up so we wouldn't have to get any exercise." Things are different at the O'Malley home now. There is one servant. His car is good, but old. A homy atmosphere pervades. Pat steps like an athlete, but his voice is low. With a quiet dignity that nobody would ever have suspected possible in him, he is at home to his friends. The sycophants are crowding in again. News travels fast in Hollywood. Many, who have been just awfully busy, call to congratulate him on his recent success. He takes it good-naturedly, and says very little, but they are not pressed to stay to dinner. And the family goes to the theater. "I figure I'm sitting pretty. I'm in my prime, alert, feeling better than ever. I've been in pictures for twelve years, counting the two that I wasn't in, exactly. I have experience and a voice that the mike accepts. Most of all, the producers know that O'Malley is back and steadied. They have confidence in me now." "Pat," I said, thoughtfully, "you've been darn lucky. There are a good many riding for similar falls. You were fortunate to be jerked up in time. How do you account for it?" The steely quality receded from his eyes, melted into a deeper blue, as he looked over my head, beyond the showy parade outside. He hesitated, and then hummed slowly, "If I were hanged on the highest hill, mother o' mine — — " That was all. GOODY! GOODY! You must wake and call me early, Call me early, mother dear, To-morrow'll be the happiest day — A Chaplin film is here ! Blaine C. Bigler.
