ROMANTIC RUNAWAYS Grant Withers at the age of twenty-four and Loretta Young at the age of sixteen have both lived lives that many people of forty do not even dream about. Grant Withers entered Los Angeles at the speed of seventy miles an hour after running away from the mili- tary school where he was being educated, because he wanted to see California. He was married and divorced before he was nineteen, and had tried many jobs. When he was sacked from the paper on which he was reporting, a friend got him an extra's job. He decided it was the life for him, caught Elinor Glyn's attention, and started his him career in earnest. His elopement with Loretta Young caused some excite- ment. She had been a child actress until she was seven, when she went to school, where at the age of twelve, her first thrilling love affair occurred. She returned to film work when she was thirteen. At fifteen she and Arthur Lake were engaged for one ecstatic month. They quarrelled, and, in the coolness that followed, Loretta met Grant Withers, also left in the lurch by a fickle lady who preferred Charles Rogers. With this bond of sympathy began their romance. A few months later they took a trip to Arizona and returned Mr. and Mrs. Grant Withers.
