When college days were over he didn't ask more of his father than most young Americans ask — a job, if possible, a chance to get into the game. Alert, terribly ambitious, the moment he got his first job he began to concentrate on it. He did what too few young men who get into this vast industry ever do — he began actually to study it from every angle. His blond head and big shoulders were to be seen around the cutting room, in the projection booth, on other sets. He struck up friendships with men in every department — and there are so many, and all important, that go to the making of a motion picture. They all liked him — and still he never had a girl. If the pretty young things around the lot made eyes at him, they got only a shy and friendly smile in response. Never a date. There are a few girls now who have "double dated" with Vaughn and Deanna — that's all. So he was a second assistant director on the first Deanna Durbin picture and on several after that. They exchanged the ordinary words that a second and then a first assistant director and the star would exchange on a picture — but she was such a baby; and he was so intent upon his work. Friendly enough, but never intimate, of course. Those things aren't done in Hollywood exactly. THEN, three years ago almost, when Deanna was sixteen, it happened. Neither of them knows exactly how it happened. They know now that one day they fell in love. Deanna, a slim and very vibrant sixteen, was aware of the tall blond young man with the serious face and the twinkling blue eyes — aware of him as the boy who filled some picture and some dream she had carried in her heart as it awakened. He simply — fitted right in. And Vaughn Paul saw a girl for the first time — as the living, breathing, speaking figure of his ideal. They were both, of course, young idealists. Romantic, as all young things are, dreaming as all young things must if the world is to go on at all. Of course they wanted to fall in love— they were eager enough. And so very young — sixteen and twenty-one — the ideal ages, of course. Deanna dreaming of a Prince on a white horse, Vaughn Paul waiting for the Fairy Princess to come down from some distant tower. Then one day their eyes met, held, and they looked away with quickening hearts. Wby — when they'd known each other, seen each other every day, been on the same set, in the same studio — did it come to pass like this? THE little star found herself breathless, ' found herself watching for a sight of the tall young man, found herself making little opportunities to speak to him. A college man — she knew that. Very fond of music. Son, of course, of an old Hollywood family and a big executive. Socially, he was eligible. In answer to her shy casual little questions, she found out, too, that he was ambitious, that he worked hard, that already they were saying he would "go places" in pictures. But — he was an assistant director and she was the studio's greatest star. Also, she was a girl just turned sixteen. Vaughn Paul knew. He knew after that very first strange look. He began to think of her as — just a girl. Not as a star. She had, he found, the most beautiful blue eyes in the world, and they looked back at him so frankly, with some — was it a question in them? Her throat was full and white, and she had the prettiest little hands. Sometimes he forgot altogether about the studio and the set, and about her being Deanna Durbin. and just thought of her as the girl — the prettiest — the sweetest — and she would be such fun! They faced their first problem then. For days — weeks — the thing was between them— and they both waited. Dreaming, waiting, not knowing, either one of them, just what move to make. Could a young second assistant director ask the star to make a date? Should the star, knowing how those things can be in Hollywood, make the first move — like royalty, issue the invitation herself? Those were exquisite days, those first days of awareness, those first days of all the little glances, the little shy secret tones and looks, the anticipation. They are always wonderful days in any love affair, but when it is the first love, and both are young, and untouched, and full of all the things of life that are beautiful, it is something unequalled. But what was the next step to be — and when would they find out that they were in love-how would they break through the barriers around them and find each other? In the next instalment of Miss St. Johns' unusual story, you will find presented the jacts about the first dates of Deanna Durbin and Vaughn Paul, dates that, because of Deanna's youth, were hushed up in Hollywood.
