I'm sure of that. But her timid attempts to make me understand didn't do any good. I laughed them ofJ, when they didn't make me mad. I just wouldn't let myself see — not even when my fan-mail began to fall off while hers grew, or when she passed me in the popularity poll our agency took every month of the stars they represented. I was glad to see her getting ahead, because it meant so much to her, and as for myself I was just too sure of my own secure position to worry. ONE day the Oilman Company didn't renew my contract. They didn't want any part of me. Doris was enough for them. And for the first time I had a lost, cold feeling. Doris put her arms around me and comforted me, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. She knew. She wasn't kidding herself when she talked about the other sponsors who would be sure to come after me. now that I was "at liberty." She even made the mistake of oi^ering to tell the Gilman Coffee people that if they didn't want me they couldn't have her. "No, thanks," I snapped bitterly. "I don't want any favors." It's funny how, when you're mad at yourself, you take it out by being mad at the people who love you best. The road down is usually faster than the road up. It was in my case. All I could get that season was a sustaining spot here and there. In between I loafed around the penthouse, drinking a little too much and putting on weight and feeling sorry for myself. Finally Bill Staunton, the agent who handled both Doris and me, called me in and told me not to bother reporting to the studios any more for my sustaining programs. Oh, yes, I knew it was my own fault, but I wouldn't admit it. I told Bill he was a failure as an agent, and got back at him by persuading Doris to leave him and let me handle her business affairs myself. That was about the only business mistake she made in her whole career. I mismanaged everything. I wanted to show how busy I was, so I made her change her band, prescribed hot-cha numbers for her when her real appeal was in romantic ballads and dreamy waltzes, battled with the sponsor and the advertising agency. Managing Doris should have been no job at all, but I made heavy work of it and did everything all wrong. And at the end of the season Doris showed me a letter from the sponsor. They were letting her out too. She was white. "Now you've got me down to your level," she said icily. "That's what you wanted, wasn't it?" I poured out a drink. She hated to see me drink so early in the morning. "Don't you worry, darling," I said huskily. "I'll get you a better spot inside of a week. I'll line up something so big you'll — •" She cut me short with a laugh. There was a hard note in it I had never heard before. "You don't have to worry about that.
