Vy (Copyright, 1940, by tho Bell Syndicate, Inc. Synopsis of preceding chapter: Tearing off her bridal veil and dress, Glory Stevens declares passionately that she can't marry Arthur Landis.

It isn't that she doesn't like Arthur but since she was a little girl she has wanted to be an actress Tike her beautiful mother, known on the stage as Constance Brent. Madeline Stevens died when her daughter was only thirteen years old, and Glory has promised her father to forget her dreams of the stage. But now, with Arthur waiting her at the church, she decides she must go to Hollywood, and pleads with her chum Beth Adams to help her get away from the house unnoticed. She slips downstairs, evades her father, hurries away in Beth's car and just catches a Chicago-Los Angeles train, Mike Carter, the old station master, cashing a check her father had given her as a wedding present. In the Pullman dressing room she meets Helen Jamison who after a hard battle has won some Hollywood recognition as a character actress.

She advises Glory to return home but gome-how is impressed by the 19-year-old girl's determination and, calling herself a fool, suggests that Glory take an Inexpensive apartment in the same building with her. Despite Helen's warnings that there are thousands of just as beautiful girls in Hollywood waiting for a break," Glory falls asleep in her berth convinced that Helen is a guardian angel and that she will make her way to fame and riches. CHAPTER 2 Scottie Weston The first week in Hollywood was a thrilling experience for Glory Stevens, who at Helen Jamison's suggestion had established herself in a one-room apartment furnished in typical Hollywood fashion even to the Venetian blinds. There was a miniature kitchen where the girl prepared her own orange juice and coffee. Her other meals were eaten at inexpensive restaurants or drug stores.

Helen had been wonderful. She had shown Glory how to make ev ery penny count. Horrified to discover that Glory's idea of plenty of money was $300, the older woman reproached herself for having un dertaken the task of looking out for her. But it was too late now. The truth was that Helen had fallen under the spell of Glory's charm.

She was such a gallant youngster. She never complained about anything or got in Helen's way. Unless her new-found friend suggested their sharing a meal, Glory trudged off to eat alone, and she had followed Helen's advice with a trusting eagerness that was pitiful. On all points but one. Whenever Helen mentioned her returning home, Glory shook her head.

"I'm not going back until I'm famous and rich," she insisted. Glory's father had written a letter which strengthened this determination. "Mike tells me you bought a one-way ticket which would leave you about $300," he said stiffly. "When that is gone I'll arrange for your trip home." Not one word of reproach for cashing the check he had given her for a wedding present. Neither did he mention Arthur.

This meant that he was even more hurt and angry than she had expected. Now that it was behind her, Glory began to realize the enormity of her offense. To leave a man literally waiting at the church was unforgivable. People would talk about It for the rest of her life. She couldn't walk down Main street without hearing their curious, unkind remarks.

She told herself that even If she wanted to go back she could not now. "I'd starve first" she said dramatically. "That'3 because you've never been hungry," Helen warned her. "You'll feel differently about it after you've gone without a couple of meals." "But Helen, if I only had a chance. If I can only get a break." "And how do you think you're going to get that break?" Helen inquired cynically.

"I don't know, unless you help me. Can't you think of anything? You know I'll do anything you say." Helen groaned. There was something about this kid that certainly got under your skin. When she turned on that smile of hers it lighted up the whole room. Helen admitted, watching her, that she had a definite appeal.

This girl was very sensitive to impressions; her emotions flashed like colored lights shifting across her lovely face. But so what? Beauty and personality could be found in every Hollywood block. Unless she had the right contacts, the most beautiful girl in the world wouldn't have a chance. And how well Helen Jamison knew it! To convince Glory of it, however, was another matter. Day after day Glory dressed in her prettiest clothes to make the rounds of studios; she couldn't even secure an Interview.

But she insisted she was not discouraged. Someday some one would see her, she argued If she could only meet a big producer or director she felt certain they would immediately recognize her possibilities. Meanwhile the money she had deposited in a bank was shrinking alarmingly. Helen suspected that she was eating only two meals a day. Finally she decided to take strong measures.

That night she informed Glory that she had made an appointment for her with her own MODEL 2 KODASLIDE PROJECTOR for showing your Kodachrome "stilk" at. their best Brilliant, needle-sharp projection to large screen sizes from Kodachrome Slides are made quickly, simply with this small, trim projector.

She did not tell the excited, grateful girl what she had told Scottie Weston. "Look, Scottie," she had said to Weston, "do me a favor, will you? I've got a movie-struck kid on my hands who won't go home.

She's been half starving herself to make her mqney hold out. Never mind how I got that way I thought if you'd see her and give her the low-down maybe, she'd believe you. Thanks, pal! I'll do something for you sometime. And listen, Scottie, don't hesitate to give her the works, will you? I'll stand by to pick up the pieces." But to Glory she said, "If you've a ghost of a chance, Scottie Weston will tell you. He's put across some of the biggest names on the screen." "Wonderful!" Glory breathed.

"But, Helen, why didn't you take me to him before?" "It's not easy to get an appointment with Scottie," Helen said. "Even though he's my own agent. If all the people Scottie Weston doesn't see were put in a row the line would reach to Broadway and back." "Oh!" Glory saia, impressed. She was beginning, to realize, al though she wouldn't have admitted it, that getting into the movies was not at all as she had pictured it. But now that she had an appoint ment with a real agent, no doubt he would see at a glance what marvel ous material she would be.
