Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1930)

Photoplay Magazine for March, 1930 "I am making this tour by special request of Stupefaction Pictures — and you," she told her audiences every Saturday night. "And if the contact has pleased you only one-half as much as me, then I'm satisfied. Goodby, everybody. Be sure to call on me whenever you come to Hollywood." A stilted sort of speech, yet Sheila managed to give it sincerity, hiding the hopelessness within her when she extended the invitation to visit the studios. WASHIXGTON . . . Pittsburgh ... an airplane hop to Saint Louis and a crowd of worshippers at Lambert Field . . . another leap to Kansas City . . . Omaha on a bitter winter's morning. Sheila stood at the windows of her suite at the Fontenelle, gazing out upon the silent, snowbound prairies that encircled the city, and she shivered involuntarily. California would be a riot of color just now, the desert would be in bloom; and yet there was a sense of coziness here. "Some town!" rasped the secretary, entering her room before the matinee. " A couple of scared subordinates to welcome us, that's all." " I rather like this place, " said Sheila. "Anyhow, you must expect a certain amount of shyness if they think we're as great as the publicity says we are." The matinee went smoothly, and Sheila walked daintily into the audience and moved slowly up the aisle, flanked by a pair of stalwart ushers who restrained the souvenir hunters from ripping her dress. As she reached the shadow of the balcony a tall, dapper figure rose from an aisle seat. "H — hello, honey," it said, half fearfully. "Andy!" cried iliss O'Shaughnessy amazedly. "Andy Dent, come here to me!" Tossing dignity aside, she pulled down his head and kissed him. Mr. Dent crimsoned. "Don't forget your audience," he reminded. "They can wait. Oh, Andy, I'm so happy!" "No, they can't wain, " said Andy. "A big star like you is why they've packed my theater. You see, Sheila, I — I'm manager here, and when I heard you were coming I was too rattled to get up nerve to meet you. " "Then hurry around to my dressing room," breathed Sheila, continuing her parade. Later, Mr. Dent draped his immaculate self on a chair, while the old adoration shone in his brown eyes. "Being famous hasn't changed you a bit," he said joyfully. "Youdon'tlooka day older — only wiser." "I'm back where I started," smiled Sheila ruefully. "Still galloping up and down the aisles." She noticed in one sweep the welltailored suit, the quiet tie, the trim oxfords. "Andy," she said, a little breathlessly. "You're not married?" "No, I'm not. Why?" " You look taken care of, somehow. So ne — , well— " "CAY it," grinned Mr. Dent. "Xeat, eh? '-'That's success, honey, but it's still me inside the clothes." "And you haven't forgotten me?" asked Sheila, trying to overlay her earnestness with a bantering air. Mr. Dent's breathing sounded like a steam shovel. "I've been drivingpast a new house out by the Happy Hollow Country Club every day, thinking how nice you'd look in it," he blurted. "That's how much I've forgotten. It won't do any damage to tell you that now, after a million newspapers have printed pictures of you with dozens of men. " "Don't you know publicity when you see it?" laughed Miss O'Shaughnessy. "I want to see that house tomorrow morning. " Two days later she had appraised twenty thousand dollars worth of brick and stucco. By Thursday the}' were back on the old friendly Montana basis, and Sheila realized with a feeling of panic that Andy's kisses revealed improved technique. How lucky that some designing female hadn't grabbed him!
