Y. Later the family moved to Rochester, N.

where the cider Goldsmith again was head cf a high school. His son grew up in this soholastic atmosphere and when he graduated from college, he got a job lecturing on health subjects to high school students all over the country. For eight years he lectured by day and wrote plays by night. These were society dramas for the most part. Though he also tried his hand at stories about the French Foreign Legion, tragedies set in the Alaskan Tundras, and spy melodramas with in-tcrnatio-ial backgioaijds.

None of his plays was any good, though hr didn't realize it. He even sent one, bound in a beautifully embossed leather cover, to George M. Cohan. After a year, with no action, he sent Cohan a polite note, saying that he had paid $25 for the leather cover and hoped it was being well-cared for. Cohan replied with the following telegram "I am tnkine good care of both piay and cover.

I like the cover very much." That still didn't discourage Goldsmith.

Surprising thing about her is that she's appeared in more stage hits than many an actress twice as old and twice as famous. After school in Boston and Puerto Rico she attended the Academy of Dramatic Art and sailed for London when she was 16 for her first stage role. Since then she's played in "Boy Meets Girl," "What A Life," "The Primrose Path," "Three Men On A Horse," and others of lessor importance.

"I ve'lT naVe'To wart' A portentous council of war had been hold. Nick Grimes and his satellites had reached what was, to them, the inevitable conclusion. Since lied Gold and Goldie threatened to go on winning big races, and since Grimes only won when the races were fixed, and Mason was not only honest but proud of it, there was only one thing to be done. Red Gold's health must be attended to by Grimes' own It was as simple as all that! It was late in the evening when two hard-bitten gentlemen, one of them carrying a professional-looking black bag, appeared at the door of Red Gold's stable and introduced themselves to the watchman as a veterinarian and his assistant. "I think you're a couple of phonies," announced the watchman.

But the words were scarcely out of his mouth when he was floored by a blow, bound and gagged. The black bag proved to contain a jimmy; and soon the two "doctors" were inside, making for; Red Gold's stall. It was Goldie's habit of hanging around the stable of an evening, that saved Red Gold. The horse's' first Questioning, indignant whin- ny brought Goldie and a stable boy on the run from the nearby tack room.

OTHMAN Hollywood, March 29 u.R) Thirty yeais ago there was a youngster in De-tror. named Tneoaore Heed who thought he could be an actor, if he ever got the chance. He finally got up nerve to bang on the stage door of the theatre housing the Vaughan Glaser Stock Company and asked for the Great Glaser, himself. Giaser heard his story, looked 'him over carefully, and said: "Well, young man, I'm sure there must be some place in the world for you, but it's certainly not in the tors, the two dollars acrccs fraternity, seemed to have got wind of something new hi the racing world, with the eincieace of this unknown aniinrU the aegis of Lig Jim Mason, 'iiieii' money was on Kcd Gold as ho galloped around the track, lighUng" it out with the two bi" favorueg.

-In a poolroom Grimes and some of his "business" associates sat listening to a broadcast description of the race listening with forced nonchalance, but tensely anxious nevertheless. The voice came over, with rising excitement as they neared the finish. "Turning for it's Wooden Indian by a Fire Ball is second, and Red A great shout drowned him out momentarily, his voice carne over again, more rapid, more breathless. "It's the last hundred Wooden Indian is Red Gold is coming fast on the outside running like a house Fire Ball ie first by half a length on the It's Fire Ball and Red Gold! It's Fire Ball and Red They're neck and 1 It's Red Gold going away! It's Red and he's OVER!" While Mason, holding the coveted Gold Cup, posed at the finish I line with his horse and his jockey, Grimes' sheet writers totaled up 1 the losses in their betting joints throughout the country a figure running high into five figures. To celebrate the winning of the Gold Cup Jim Mason gave a party In the luxurious apartment which he and Goldie shared.

It was an exclusive party indeed; in fact, only two people were present: the host, and the guest of honor, Goldie. The boy, resplendent in his first dress suit, enjoyed every minute of it hugely: They reminisced about ithe days when they had washed dishes to buy oats for Red Gold and the morning, before that, when both had been kicked out of freight car as a couple of bums. "It was exactly three months and fourteen days ago," mused Mason. "You mean," asked Goldie eagerly, "you've counted 'cm?" Mason I nodded. "Every one.
