Marian act a duy for her leaving and she worked toward it feverishly, A few new clothes for Glad, who had outgrown everything. a few conveniences for travel. She had her own old dresses changed a bit and cleaned.

She advertised her furniture and spent the last week getting rid of it. On the last night, with nothing left but a bed and one chair, these to be called for on the morrow, Marian sat in the bare emptiness, the baby in her arms. Were going to see your daddy, Glad, she said softly. The baby crowed and kicked and threw her little arms About. She had a straight, strong back and straight, strong lege.

Marian often likened her to a rose bud if a rose bud could have shining blue eyes. Her hair was definitely reddish and Marian loved it. The ends duck tailed engagingly, it was thick and silken. She laughed and hugged the small body. "Well see your daddy in a few days," she repeated.

Oh, Glad, will he want ua! You're to be my offering, my precious gift for him. Randy and Dolly took them to the train. Lifting the baby from Marians arms, Randy said, Youve got something here, Marian. She laughed. "Naturally I think so.

Max leaped wildly for the telephone. was that announcer! he asked the radio station.

"Get him right out here. His voice is Gulliver's." Sam Parker, the befuddled an-nouncer, soon was making voice tests. It was perfect. He needed a haircut Dave Fleischer decided Jhat Gulliver's hair would be just But next day, when Parker returned to the studio to begin work, he had visited a barber and the looks decided upon were gone. had to make him a wig so nis hair would look like it did before it was trimmed," said Dave.

The appearance of the human actor is important because he frequently is a studio stand-in for his animated counterpart. In addition to supplying a voice, he acts out difficult parts and the drawings really are tracings of him. Here, as described by Max: is the way a feature cartoon is developed: Upon deciding to do Gullivers Travels, the first step believe it or not was to prepare the musical score. Next the speaking parts were worked out. snd finally a casting conference was called.

All of which seems exactly backwards, hut long experience has shown the studio heads it is good practice. At the conference, attended hy some 500 artists employed on the "lot," the Fleischers gave an outline of the plan. "The principal characters. stated Dave, are Gulliver, the prince, the princess, a couple of kings, a war lord, three spies and a little guy named Gabby. What do you suggest? And they got down to business.

Soon sketrh-s started pouring Oct 9. F) Youre all wrong if you believe animated movie cartoons are whipped out easily by an ink-slinging artist The little character! that come out of an inkwell to cavort acroas the eilver screen have a tougher time getting cast in cartoons than flesh-and-blood actors have in Hollywood. Dave Fleischer, who is directing the production of Gullivers Travels" in Fleischer studio here, told today how 15,000 drawings were viewed, rejected or corrected before features and personality of the principal characters were decided upon. That, he remarked, is quite a screen test." And the end Is not yet. After a character has passed through the flux of imagination and develops an identity, there often arises the problem of finding someone a reel human being who looks somewhat like him and can give him a voice.

When it was decided that Jonathan Swift's classic would be produced as a full length feature and the tremendous detail of developing characters was completed, the Fleischers Have and hia brother. Max, head of the studio-started listening for a voice for Gulliver. None of the available voices around the studio exactly fitted the character. A public appeal was made for a Gullivers voice. A radio station broadcast the appeal.

Max heard the announcer tell his listeners: you think your voice is like Gulliver's, go to CAST OF CHARACTERS MARIAN HAKKNESS a working wife. DAN HARKNESS her hue-band.

Then she salts Dolly to call the doctor. Its going to happen very soon." CHAPTER XXX It was after midnight. The hospital was quiet The corridors were dark except for shaded lamps on the nurses desks. Now and then a red light flashed over a door, reflecting itself in the shining floor. In a brightly lighted room, Marian was being lifted to a rubber-tired cart.

She was pale, her eyes black with suffering. She caught Dolly's hand. You'll go with me?" Dolly seized her eyes to the still genial face of Dr. Moss. "May IT He nodded.

Marian said, "I'm going to be brave, Dolly. But if I should forget myself, if I should beg for Dan, dont weaken, dont send for him. I've explained how I feel about Dan. I want to be ready for him. Promise me." I promise." "And if anything should happen She bit a quivering lip.

Yes, dear. "Tell him that 1 was brave. Tell him that I was happy to have his beby. Try to make him understand how much I love him how much I have always loved him." You'll tell him yourself, darling. Dolly held her hand as the cart was trundled down the quiet hall.

She stood by staunchly. When Marian cried out, "Dan-Dan she soothed her gently. After that there was blessed oblivion for Marian. across Dave's desk. After some 15,000, he knew what each character would lpok like.

Pinto Colvig, whose voice (but not his face) has been projected from many a screen, helps fix the personality of most characters. He acts out such scenes as the dumpy little king in a race, demanding war. Artists draw according to his acting. A pencil sketch of the entire feature, run off on the screen with music and words, precedes actual work on the rsrtoon. After countless corrections, the screen test is completed and production begins.

They quietly installed comforts, an electric refrigerator which the apartment did not afford, fane, linen eheets, which were cooler than luuelin. Marian grew thin, blue shadows made her eyes enormous, her hands were rough from daily laundry work.

Dolly expostulated, she begged, she even became angry. Randy talked earnestly to Marian. They wore friends. What were friends for, anyway! He'd send a maid, two maids better still, hed find an apartment near the lake. Marian stood firm.

Wearily she reiterated the old theme. "Dan saya to stick it out Dan saya if you accomplish a thing yourself, you have pride "But Dan would send you more money if he knew," Randy argued. You're losing weight you'll be sick." But Glad Is gaining she's all right" She'd gain faster "Dr. Moss says she is perfect Msrian laid a beseeching hand on his arm.

Marian's hollow eyes became frenzied pool. That was when Randy and Dolly stepped in. Dazed and terrified, Marian did not argue. Someone racked her things. Someone helped her dress.

She and the baby were bundled, unprotesting, into a closed car which was cooled by dry ice. Marian lay against the cushions, a nurse watched over Glad's basket Dolly had said crossly, I guess you can ray a visit to your best friend. 1 guess Dan wouldn't mind that." They drove for hours, finally stopping at a white cottage in the cool darkness of deep woods. Lake Michigan danced and sparkled beyond the trees. A fresh little breeze rustled the leaves.

Marian rtumbled as she stepped from the i car and Randy carried her to a cool, green and white bedroom. Doing so, he muttered, "And we i didn't get you here a moment too I soon, young lady. In fact, hardly soon enough." Marian did not know when the nuise undressed her and put an ice park on her bead. New Crop CERTIFIED SEEDS BABY CHICKS REX SUPPLY CO.p INC.

To Marian, the THEY HAVE THE The August days were like a blssful dream. Marian lay in her bed, sleeping, rousing to look with contented eye at the baby who, under the able ministrations of the nurse, Inst her rash and fever immediately. After a few days, Marian moved to the wide porch swing, there to idly hope and plan and dream.

The weeks hurried by and she awoke each morning to new strength. She could feel energy and vitality humming through her veins.

The baby was a rollicking, pink and white bit of gladness. With the coming of September, Marian realized the time had come to think about the long trip to 1urtland.
