142 EARLE LIEDERMAN— The Muscle-Builder Author of "Muscle Building," "Science of Wrestling," "Secrets of Strength" '.'Here's Health," '.'Endurance," etc. TheManlPityMost POOR OLD JONES. No one had any use for him. No one respected him. Across his face I read one harsh word — FAILURE. He just lived on. A poor worn out imitation of a man, doing his sorry best to get on in the world. If he had realized just one thing, he could have made good. He might have been a brilliant success. There are thousands of men just like Jones. They, too, could be happy, successful, respected and loved. But they can't seem to realize the one big fact — that practically everything worth while living for depends upon STRENGTH — upon live, red-blooded. He-Man muscle. Everything you do depends upon strength. No matter what your occupation, you need the health, vitality and clear thinking only big, strong, virile muscles can give you. When you are Ul the strength in those big muscles pulls you through. At the office. In the farm fields, or on the tennis court, you'll find your success generally depends upon your muscular development.

EARLE LIEDERMAN Dept. 103 305 Broadway, N. Y. EARLE LIEDERMAN Dept. 103, 305 Broadway, New York City Dear Sir: Please send me, without any obligation on my part whatever, a copy of your latest book, "Muscular Development. (Please write or print plainly.) Photoplay Magazine for March, 1930 "Oh, of course I will, Mister Doran." She took him quite seriously. "I owe everything to you." "Then how about having dinner with me tonight — as part payment on the debt?" "I'd love to," she said eagerly. "I'll wait for you at the gate," he promised. "About six?" She nodded. NOW Dick Doran had dined with numerous beautiful and fascinating screen stars and his pulse had remained normal. But something about Chickie's nearness when the waiter seated them at a small table, the shy way she looked up at him, set his pulses throbbing. Over the fruit cocktail Dick decided that Chickie was absolutely adorable. She did not talk much but she listened well. That, in itself, stamped her as different. , By the time the salad course was served he had supplemented "adorable" with a dozen high-powered adjectives. And when at last they said goodnight, and he impulsively caught her in his arms and kissed her warm, fragrant mouth, he concluded that she was the most wonderful, the most marvelous, the most — but mere words could not express that feverish something which had crept into his veins. Four dinners and a good many kisses later he was convinced that Chickie, and Chickie alone, held the key to his happiness. The breathless, half-frightened way she said "Dickie" when their lips had parted, made him know that she felt as he did. She had changed her mind about going back to Talapoosa. He was glad of that. He was glad, too, that she did not have any exaggerated ideas about being the world's greatest actress. She never talked about how wonderful she was. At the end of a week Dick was wondering if there was any truth in that moss-covered platitude that two can live as cheaply as one. Name Age . City State. Before he could secure Chickie's views, however, he was sent north on a story. He was gone ten days. When he returned— Well, listen to their dinner conversation that first night and you will know exactly what had happened during his absence. Chickie looked longingly at a large chocolate-covered confection and then shook her head. "No dessert? You're not getting figureconscious, are you?" "Well, Mr. Gordon says I ought to be careful." "You tell him I said he'd better stick to directing." "I think it was nice of him to tell me. He's been just wonderful to me." Dick frowned at this bit of news but said nothing. "He says if I'm managed right he thinks I'll be another Garbo. He says I've got the same sort of mysterious eyes." "Don't let him kid you." "But he wasn't kidding," she replied indignantly. "He wants me to sign a contract to let him manage me." "Oh, he does, does he?" Dick's voice was suddenly brittle. "And I suppose he wants you to come out to his house some night to sign the contract. " T_TOW did you know? " she asked, surprised. *■ -* "I haven't been in this business for three years without learning a gag or two. " "Of course he says I've got a lot to learn — " " — but he'll teach you." Dick finished the sentence for her. "You wouldn't be his first pupil — nor his last. The old buzzard!" Chickie's eyes widened at this blasphemy. "Well I don't think it's very nice of you to talk that way about Mr. Gordon when he's been so nice to me. I mean if it hadn't been for him I wouldn't even have had that part in the picture." Dick was drawing little circles on the tablecloth.
