So Lawrence ran away. Starting as helper in a garage where one wore greasy overalls and finger nails were legitimately black, where tools cluttered the work benches and stray automobile parts the floor.

Lawrence Joyfully breathed the air of freedom for the first time. By the time he was 25 he was a Fuccessful automobile salesman. Then, when life seemed brightest and freedom its sweetest, Prudence Harrison came in to help her mother select a coupe. Lawrence loved her at first sight. He was fascinated by her dainty, adorable self, and her quaint, suggestive name.

She was (mall and slender, and had a way of lifting her blue eyes with a you-now-best expression that went to jjawrence's head like wine. "Can you teach my daughter to iron the car?" Mrs. Harrison asked. Til guarantee to make her a good firlver." Lawrence promised, and with mingled Joy and alarm began the lessons.

Youngster Of Today Unwilling As Hard As Progenitor Actress Says Theater Easier Than Movies By DAN THOMAS HOLLYWOOD. Calif, Sept.

16. About a year ago a red-headed, wise-cracking young stage actress blew into town from New York all set to conquer the movies. She didn't say that she wanted to be a success in pictures. She declared that she was going to be a big hit. The wise ones of Hollywood laughed at Mary Doran then and they laughed with her too.

They liked her wise cracks and had a lot of fun cracking back at her. But they didn't take her seriously. Sure, she had a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. But that didn't mean much. Hollywood was filled with dozens of girls with contracts, many of whom were destined to use their return tickets to Manhattan.

Confidence Not Misplaced But Mary didn't use hers, nor was It wasted. She only bought a oneway ticket when she came out here. That's how confident she was. And after 12 months in the celluloid village she hasn't lost any of her confidence. Nor has she lost any of her ability to wise-crack with everyone who happens along.

However, the wise ones are only laughing with Mary now. They already have learned the necessity for considering her seriously as an actress. In fact, the executives place a high enough value upon her that they tore up her old contract and gave her a new one just a few weeks ago. Mary is a strange character. It probably would be easier to describe her by comparing her to some other actress.

But I don't know to whom she can be compared. Way down deep she takes this business of making pictures seriously. But she won't admit it even to herself. She has surfaced herself with a veneer of gayety. Everything is Just one laugh after another or so she would have people believe.

They Keep Her Busy Right now Mary is so busy cavorting before the cameras and microphones that she hasn't time to do or think of much else. For four months she has worked steadily making one picture after another without a day's rest. At present she is playing in "Their Own Desire" with Norma Shearer and as soon as she finishes that another role is waiting for her. "I came out here to educate the movies and now they're educating me," declared the actress. "I'm not kidding you.

I mean that seriously. A girl has to be 10 times as versatile in pictures as she does on the stage. On the stage you get a reputation for playing a certain type of role and you keep on playing it year after year. "Out here things are different. You portray one type of character in one picture and are something entirely different in the next.

Be sides that, a girl must be able to look pretty, act, speak, sing and dance. All of those requirements are made of very few girls on the stage. But they all are necessary to be successf 1 in talking pictures. "If I had known what I was walk ing into I might have stayed in New York and had a stage career which would have been far less strenuous."

When you pull up alongside a service station next year and call for two gallons and a coupler wienies course, no one was supposed to see those rooms.

That was the very test he had desired to make. In parlor and dining-room there had been none of that pleasant clutter of unnecessary books, a stray pencil, a handkerchief, that show the house is lived in. But powder was on Prue dress ing-table, stockings were thrown across a chair, a magazine was on the floor. Lawrence breathed a mighty sum of relief, like a spent runner who has finally reached the goal. 'A place for everything and everything in its place'," he whispered, nappny.

His ad miration for her cleverness grew, but in proportion a sinking feeling of fear engulfed him. "What a housekeeper she must be! "The affair must go no further," Lawren counseled himself. "It has gone far enough." On the heels of this excellent advice he heard himself inviting Prue to dinner. Then he found himself calling at her home. He looked hopefully about the charming room signs of disorder, but there were one.

With cold panic he saw Prue unhesitatingly put her hand on the phonograph record she desired without referring to a list. He wished he could explore the apartment, but that, he realized regretfully, was impossible, and, besides It Avould be ungentlemanly. Then came opportunity. "Shall we have dinner at God-din's?" he asked one evening when; he met Prue after 5 o'clock. "I've just phoned mother, and she gays I'm to bring you home for dinner," Prue admitted, flushing a little.

"You dear," he said. "Mother had planned a. rather nice meal, expecting me to be there," she explained frankly. "It geemed a shame for her to eat it all by herself. I I nope you like home cooking." "Do you can you cook?" he managed.

"Like a breeze," she replied, laughing-. Now, what did she mean by that? A The dinner was wonderful too Wonderful. Lawrence was miserably happy. Everything was too darned perfect. Entering the dining room, he awkwardly, blunderingly, tripped over a rug.

Smiling patiently. Prue adjusted it with the toe of a tiny bronze slipper. Lawrence felt himself choking. He was being dragged into the very thing he had fled from eight years before. Then Xrue smiled at him, and he groaned "Perhaps you don't eat oysters?" mried Mrs.

"That day." he said, "I quit the atelier for the abbatoir." Half of a dressed steer weighs quite a bit. Mr.

Slotkin earned $18 a week by going to work at 2 o'clock in the morning and patient ly toting halves until 6 o'clock that evening. It was a fine job because he could save money time to spend it. This short, stout, enthusiastic and yet diffident little man got up earlier, worked later, saved more money than his competitors. "Yonnsr men will not do that now," he reiterates. "Therefore the great and increasingly greater corporation has become a necessity.

In my time a young man had to battle for years before lie uiscoverea aiung what line he could be most successful.

A big success for the individual may be won inside the great corporation and more easily than when the first steps toward affluence were taken under the burden or hair a dressed steer.

Ever since the first butcher shop was opened, Mamma has haggled for two pounds of steak over its marble counter and the butcher has haggled off two pounds and one-half, for which Mamma had to pay. When she got home she cut off a fish-like tail and trimmed out some of the bone and had a pound and a half left. Slotkin proposes to do that trimming for her and sell her the completed steak for the broiler, in a neat and certified package at a smaller cost than she is paying today. He will make his big profit out of the waste, just as the packers pay dividends on bristles.

"I'm going to try, anyhow," he said. "By and by it will work." He has not convinced me that the youngster of today will not work as hard as the one of yesterday. But anyone who can think up good selling schemes will get to the front. He needn't tote any beeves, either. Seven 'Sailors' Nabbed In Raid Really Are Girls BROOKLYN, Sept.

A police matron made the discovery. The seven Jollv tars, aged 16 to 19, admitted that they were telephone operators in borrowed clothing, and just out for a "lark." Frank Digrcsso, alleged proprietor of the "club" already had been booked on a nuisance charge when giggling of one of the seafaring captives gave the game away Amidst the blushes of patrolmen, the captives and one real sailor who was in the lot. the masqueraders were finally segregated.
