And perhaps the poor thing's dead by now, anyway!" "Not as I know of," said Sol, wondering why the young man was looking at him so strangely. "I heard from her last month!" "Last month, hey! Oh! And didn't you say there was a little girl, Mr. Gritting . . . a daughter?" Sol, who felt that no one had ever had a better right to feel hurt and angry and disgusted, nodded his head sulkily. "Yeh, an' I guess it was havin' her, Mr. Wainton, what made life less like hell than it might uv been! She's a woman now ... a real beauty, her mother sez, an' goin' to be married! I'd like to see her, Mr. Wainton ... I sure would. But I never will. It wouldn't do, would it?" "No," said the young man slowly: "no, Mr. Gritting, it wouldn't do!" He rose to his feet, then, and stood gazing down at Sol with a grim little smile on his lips and a look in his eyes that seemed in some mysterious way to be asking a question. Plays and Players (Continued from page 79) TIS not only stars who when elevated to heights become temperamental. The boys are telling this one around the Athletic Club on Bernie Fineman, manager for Katherine MacDonald. A friend called him at the studio on the telephone recently on a business matter. The cool voice of the telephone girl came back from the other end of the wire, " Sorry, but Mr. Fineman is at his exercises in the handball court." Half an hour later, the friend called again and again the distant voice remarked, " You can't speak to Mr. Fineman now, he's in the shower." Still later; "Mr. Fineman can't come to the phone just now. He's being rubbed." Whereupon the friend decided to quit, not knowing just where he might find Bernie next time. But it sounds like a nice life, doesn't it? POMONA, a small town near Los Angeles, voted April 4th on Sunday "Blue Laws, " including the closing of all theaters and amusements on Sunday. The proposed closing ordinance carried by 43 votes. That is considered the opening wedge in the campaign for Blue Sunday laws, since it is said that the forces in favor of a closed Sunday watched the results carefully to judge by the outcome as to whether to start similar fights in other towns. The fact that Pomona is so near Hollywood, the home of the motion picture industry, made it a vitally telling point. If they could close Pomona, they could close any place. They closed Pomona. There will now be nothing to do in Pomona on Sunday but walk out to the cemetery, sneak off and spoon, or sleep. Your neighbors will complain if you play the phonograph. But here, so they say, is a story behind a story, and it illustrates once again what it seems prohibition should have finally illustrated. The people who believe that if they close everything up on Sunday idle hands will find nothing but good to do, are united. They have "got together. " So had the prohibitionists. But apparently the people who believe in happiness on Sunday just as well as on any other day; who believe that innocent amusement is legitimate rest, haven't. Among them are, naturally, the motion picture producers. The day before the Pomona Blue Laws election was Sunday. On Sunday the Pomona forces who wanted to defeat the Blue Laws had planned a big open air rally to be held in the town square. The star of this meeting was to be Will Rogers, who, with all his inimitable wit and humor, was to speak against the Sunday closing of theaters. Rogers was chosen both because as a speaker he is without an equal, and because his home life and personal character are so high that he would have the respect of the most critical. Rogers had consented to go and to speak. But— Saturday afternoon whoever happened to be in charge of the Goldwyn lot, said to be one Abraham Lehr, decided that Will Rogers had to work on Sunday. The picture was behind schedule. Now, the fight in Pomona was being conducted chiefly by First National forces since two of the three theaters there belonged to them. Immediately McCormack and Wilson, of First National, telephoned frantically to Mr. Lehr. They explained the importance of this election nationally. They explained that Rogers was the only man who would do. They plead. Mr. Lehr said that sixty extra people had been called, etc. — it didn't seem possible to call off work for Sunday. First National got together. They phoned Mr. Lehr again and stated that they would send him immediately a certified check for the amount of the day's overhead — extra people, Rogers' salary for a day, the studio expense and all, figuring it would amount to about $15,000. Lehr was stumped. He couldn't take the check without branding himself. He didn't seem able to take the responsibility for calling off the day's work and putting that expense on his company. He told them to call again in fifteen minutes. They did, Mr. Lehr had gone out and wouldn't be back. He wasn't at home. He had disappeared. And the Blue Laws carried in Pomona by 43 votes. If Will Rogers couldn't swing 43 votes in any town, I'm a Mugwamp. Not so good — not so good ! THINGS are quite "het up" round the Christie lot. We don't know exactly what happened, but certainly somebody had a fight. Anyway, Bobby Vernon has filed suit for a whole lot of money in the courts of Los Angeles, because he declares that Charlie Christie, brother of Al, and Harry Edwards, studio manager for the comedy lot, beat him up and threw him out on his ear — as it were. He further says that he's a little bit of a fellow and that both Christie and Edwards are big men, and that they just naturally picked on him. All this in his suit of damages for assault and battery. So far nothing much has been said by the defendants. And anyway, it seems to have been a private fight and probably isn't any of our business. After all, it's Mr. Christie's studio.
