CHAPTER VIII Lili Ghost to the Window
For a minute Lili was a little irked. Bill had actually hung up the phone on her, Lili Liverblossom, and that was unpardonable. But Bill was like that. He was just as likely to hang up before he even phoned one, mused Lili, only she mused it •with slightly different phraseology. She continued to chat into the phone a few minutes, so Bill wouldn't know she knew he had snubbed her/ and then hung herself up — I mean hung up herself. Besides, she had to be nice to Bill, as he had written up a ghost especially for her, and no telling what he might write up if she weren't nice to him.
Bill had said he would send the ghost right over and Lili was to close all the doors and windows so that the ghost could get in.
It was an unholy night anyhow — the wind was whistling outside, now and then humming to itself for variety — probably taking a bath. An owl hooted in a nearby tree, two trains ran head-on into each other a few blocks away, an airplane with 96 passengers crashed in the back yard, three men were hanging from a tree outside, and all in all it was an eerie evening.
Lili sat by the fire, pondering all this, -worrying about Perri, waiting for something to happen. She nervously plucked at the cat's tail as she waited — it -was the only thing left to pluck at, as she had long ago pulled all the rest of the cat's fur out, and pulled all the bristles out of the eleven hairbrushes she owned, as -well as the forty-six others she was buying on time.
Across the room, one window was still slightly ajar. Heeding Bill's warning, Lili decided to get up to close it. Besides, it was pretty cold that night in Hollywood, as the Chamber of Commerce was taking a few weeks off. As she sat there deciding, she looked fixedly at the window. Lili's hair stood on end. The few hairs left on the cat's tail stood on end, too. Gradually a formless shape was shaping formlessly there in 'he window. Lili stared harder. This is what she saw:
Horror-stricken, scarcely believing her eyes, Lili staggered to the door.

KNEE-CAP REVIEW (No space left on my thumb-nails)
Costume pictures almost always contrive to be terribly boring to me, but after the first few minutes of "Richelieu," I completely forgot costumes in the enjoyment of George Arliss' performance as the clever Cardinal. Arliss is amazing with his punctilious rendition of character parts, and he is ably supported in this film. No matter how you pronounce it, "Richelieu" is an interesting picture. And goodness, how they do pronounce it! Almost everyone in the cast gave the word a different pronunciation. I heard a couple of versions I'd never thought of. Anyhow, no matter how you pronounce it, go to see the picture. I? I pronounce it — excellent!
hair is just growing in after having it shaved for a recent picture, and right now it is at that "awkward age." The other day he went over to visit his two friends, Ern and Perc Westmore, in their beauty parlor on Sunset Boulevard. Ern and Perc got Laughton into a barber's chair and practically scared him pink by pretending they were going to trim his still scanty locks. Some fun. * * * Mary Carlisle is the latest screen star to fall for the leather fashions Voris creates. * * *

I'd like to swap jobs with Bill Powell right now. He is playing the title role in "The Great Ziegfeld," and all he has to do is pick goodlooking chorus girls. Bill does all right in real life, anyhow, and doesn't have to imitate the great Ziegfeld to do some 100% picking on his own hook.
