THE CLINTON 'NEWS -RECORD THURS., OCT, 17, 1935 "MAKE HER FAMOUS" By Donovan Bayley "But there's no story in the wo- man," 'Neave said. "Just another poster artist, doing just another startling postor. She hasn't been to prison, or flown her own plane round the Equator, or captured the divorce record; or anything. And if ehe had, they've all been done before." "Sorry, Neave," the news editor said, "but the owner's t orders are 'Mlake hep famous!' She impressed him somewhere, somehow. You've got to get a story out of her if it takes a cold chisel and a hammer. And don't worry me any more. I'1n as busy as two men." "WFien's the story wanted?" "By seven o'clock this evening. She's expecting you to lunch. The owner promised her you'd spend the afternoon with her and be really helpful." "Will herhusband be there? Ife might 'have ideas." "I hope he's in heaven. Anyhow. he's no longer on earth. Push off, lad- die. It's twenty miles at least to Betterway Garden City, and you know what the office car is." "She would live there;" Neave said. "Stop mourning. If you please the owner " "I'm always pleasing him', but he never admits it." Betty Terence wandered uneasily up and down and round and round the perfect little house her husband had left her in the garden city: She knew just what she stood to gain, and she knew she wanted it. She be- lieved, too, that she could make use of it, but she did not knew what on earth she should do or say when the man from the "Daily Imperial" came to lunch tosnake her famous. She had 'had no experience of be- ing made famous. Since her idealis- tic husband, three years since, had died in a head-on between his 500 c.c. motorcycle and a bus, apparently to prove that marriage should not alter anything for a man, 'speeding includ- ed, leaving her with £250 insurance money, and little Betty, she had sim- ply ground away at making a living. At first she had done window tick- ets, Iettering, 'and unambitious post- ers for the local tradesmen, pushing out very gradually, feeling all the time that she was keeping a pack of wolves from the next little door with a hogshair paint -brush. It was a poor Weapon against grim enemies. Until the poster competition the prize, and the meeting with Viscount Molter, the founder and owner of the "Daily Imperial." "So you're Betty Terence," he said. "Do you really like olives?" "Yes to both questions. I didn't eaten your name, I'm afraid." "Moller. I'm Moller. Don't you bate public dinners?" paper everywhere, and: you know how hard paper is to ,get up." So little Betty was shooed out of that room, too, and the vacuum n clean- er was dragged in and set to work wildly. "Nobody wants me,"' little Betty said, in a huddle on her small, white bed. Every car that came into the road made Betty. Terence's heart bump. It might be the one carrying Fame to her door, and the house• was un- ready still. She was trying to get an effect of calm, efficient thought- fulness. Neave's first impression of the place and its atmosphere would be so terribly' important. "That's 'better," big Betty. said, with relief. "Not under the sofa," the maid', said, dragging the divan out to sweep up more snips of paper. "I'll sail my boat," little Betty said, alone upstairs. She went into the blue -and -white bathroom and softly turned the tap before she be. gen .her 'searchfor the boat she had had. at Eastbourne last year. Her mistake was in pot' finding the boat first, for the overflow pipe was par- tially stepped up by soap jelly and fluff, wiiich did not matter so long as You watched the wetter running in, and the plumber always took weeks to send a man round. Neave's car was really in the road, a nice lunch ready, and big Betty had composed her mind, though only to a blank, when the trickle began through the ceiling of the lounge. And nothing very much could be done to little Betty, for one couldn't have her howling with temper or grief at the moment Fame arriroied. Big Betty herself had to open the door to Neave, for the maid was mopping up the bath -room floor with desperate haste, while little Betty was still looking in every possible place upstairs for her lost yacht. Luckily Neave would not have to be taken upstairs. Neave, when she let Mmin, found a charming girl, whom, he decided, he could call beautiful witheus exage gerating or being contradicated by her photograph. "A little wistful," ho decided, "far away as, if she were always listening for Something." That, of course, wouldnot do. That was not a story.

In his enjoyment he said to the brakeman: "Isn't this invig- orating?" "No, sin," was the reply, "this is re'ocheeten." 1.1 "I like this one." The name Moller meant nothing to her. "These olives are particularly good, or perhaps it's a long time since I had any." "I hate 'em, natural, stuffed. or battled, That poster of yours - it impressed me." "Thank you. Favourably?" "Most. Simple, strong, with a touch of real genius. I'll send a mom to lunch with you to -morrow, to make you :Qamous. Mind you help him. Where do you live?" Betty told him. There was just a chance he was someone who could. do what he promised. "How can you stand a place like that?" Viscount Moller asked and then abandoned her utterly, as if gar- den cities hurt him. Afterwards strangers came tip to Betty.. and asked her what he had' talked about. "Olives and garden cities." she said. "Who is he?" It was then that she fell and fell. down an unending pit. Viscount Mol- ler, the famous owner of the "Daily Imperial," was 'sending one of his clever young men to lunch with her in about thirteen or fourteenhours, to make her famous, and: the house needed doing up; little Betty had ra, vaged it. And what do you say to people to help them to boost you, and what would he, like for lunch, Little Betty found the next fore- noon rather trying. As pretty as her mother, but filled, also with her fath- er's devilry, she usually did as she liked, while Betty worked out in the studio that had been a garage. To- day nothing she did. woes right, not even the "poster" she conceived with stolen Indian ink on the ereamt paint of the dining -room door,'. in imitation of her Mother's efforts. Shooed away from that room,;' she contented herself with cut -outs --ani- mals snipped out of paper with scis- sors -in the lounge, where Neare, of the "Daily Imperial," was to have coffee and liquers while he gathered the material that was to make. Betty Terence .famous overnight. Little Betty made a gay and de vesting mess with pride. Mummy would only have tc stick down the funny animals on Bristol board to have another poster, which would sell for lots of money, Then she would give Betty a silver penny for 'beteg so 'helpful, and----. "That child'll' drive me stark, star- ing crazy!" mummy all but 'scream- ed. "Look at the lounge! And he'll be here any moment! Bits and snips of B' ''ETNERITE DONALD HEINS, BRILLIANT TO RONTO COMPOSER, 1' MUSICAL ROMANCES FOR "PR EMIERE AT NINE" Arrangements have been complet- ed in Toronto this week that will se- cure the valuable services of Donald Heins fox a series of programs to be heard on the new foul ,feature, "Premiere at Nine." Following the presentation of the original comic operetta, "Ambrosia From Peposia," with the score and lyrics by Mr. Heins, the brilliant composer will be at work on a series of musical romances to, be heard over the national 'network from the Tor- onto studios each Wednesday night at 9.00 o'clock. He will have as his collaborator, Geoffrey Waddington, musical director for the Commission, who will also conduct the programs. Casting for this muslcaI. comedy ser- ies is under way and volalists are being rehearsed with Geoffrey Wad- dington's orchestra. Donald Hein; who is one of the most gifted and experienced musi- cians in Canada, has long made a hobby .of the opera, and his genius has frequently been in evidenceon leading radio presentations. He has a flair for telling a colourful ,story in music and his lyrics are spirited and pungent. For many years he has been iden- tified with leading musical organiza- tions in Ottawa and Toronto and during the regime of the Duke of Connaught as Governor General, he had the honour of being engaged to conduct leninciess Piat'rici'a's musical studies. Mr. Heins is a member of the faculty of the Toronto Conserva- tory of Music and associate conduc- tor of the Toronto Symphony Or- chestra. "Terribly sorry I'm fate," he said, "but I had to come in the office car. It's the office joke, but a bad joke." "You're not really late," Betty said. "It's very good of you to come at "all." "Only too delighted," Neave said "Well----" Betty said, and stuck. •What did you say to Fame when it walked into your house? "I'm late because I had to tinker with the car." Neave said. "Got my hands in rather a mess. Definitely grimy, in fact" "I'mn sorry -should have asked - won't you come up to the -bath- room?" But what was the bath -room like?" "Gratefully." Neave said, showing her his hands. Betty led hint bravely to- the basin in the bath -room; the maid got out only just in time. The floor was. damp, but clean. "Where the devil's my boat?" little Betty's childish voice rang clearly from a near -by room. That was like her father: "Where the devil's my hat? My shoes? My everything I dropped somewhere?" "Do you find children interesting, Mr. Neave?" Betty asked desperate- ly. "Of course I do. But I don't` think the news editor of my paper cares for then. 'Got too many of his own, 1 imagine." "Poor man. I've only one. That's the hot tap. Lunch's almost ready." It'was a good lunch, and Neave en- joyed what he ate; he could not en- joy the knowledge that unless he get back to the office with a good, human story his days on the "Daily :Imperi- al" might end that night, for he was only a "space" man, which meant thathe had no contract, was paid on- ly for such of his work as was print- ed, and that he could be told at any moment not to trouble to come in again. By the endof lunch he hadn't got a line. Perhaps she would talk' better when the anxiety. 0± feeding him was behind her? Oven the coffee? That was exactly what Betty in- tended to do. She took two cups of strong black coffee .and a couple' of Benedictines, hoping for mental re- sults.' But, ,poor girl, she had no past. Her marriage had been happy, her parents respectable. It began to look .as if she had no future, either. Little Betty was suspiciously qui- et, wasn't she? Oh, this was ghast- ly! Why hadn't that Lord Moller given her even a little time to pre- pare something? This ear. Neave was a trier but ,she was giving him nothing, nothing, nothing. She'd give him a good, heart -felt scream in a- bout two seconds. ,- Then the maid rushed in without knocking,' with her mouth wide open. "The child!" she croaked. "The child! Oh, ma'am, Miss Betty's van- Ished Aind she's' left this here," She gave Betty Terence a note. It said, scrawlingly: "I am not wanted. I am gain. Good by. Are you sorry now?" There was a drawing of a little girl under a train. "And she's gone, all right, ma'am." the maid rubbed it in. "I've looked everywhere." But what was the meaning of all this if Betty had gone, feeling like that? That dreadful drawing, the thought of suicide. All she was doing was for little Betty. She had to be father and mother, too. Big Betty did scream once. Any- one would have done after a morning like that ending like this. Neave sprang up, snatched the note, and rushed Betty Terence out to the office car. It started as if, in its old heart, it knew something was seriously wrong. They knew nothing at the railway station. There had not been a train for an hour and a half, and there would not bo another until four -thir- ty-nine, two hours ahead yet. They would keep a sharp look -out, The river had only a depth of three inches after the long dry spell, Anyhow, Little Betty detested cold water. The office car continued to go. It went nearly everywhere within miles of the garden city. Neave needed two hands to dri','e it and the whole of his mind to comfort the young postor artist he had come to make famous. "Well, it isn't at all the story I ex- pected," the news editor said, "but" with triple heads, and sent it on its -be marked it up for a full column, way -."I like the home touch you got in, laddie." "The famous poster artist. Betty Terence, almost lost all for which she had worked so hard and se. sue- ccssful(y," Neave'' story began, "when, yesterday, her little daugh- ter, and only child, was missing for several distracted hours." That was the line, he assumed. "But what really happened?" the news editor asked. "The little devil was up a tree at the bottom of the garden all the time," Neave said. "I had to climb ftp for her. She lost her nerve and couldn't get down," "Wiouldn't I have spanked that brat!" • "I was too grateful to let Betty do that," Neave said. "She made the story, all by herself, bless .her!" "Mrs. Terence a ,bit of a stick?" "No; an ordinary, unassuming modest girl," Neave said, "and r haven't met so •many of those re Gently." Next morning the news editor an- nounced that the owner was •se pleas- ed with the'spece man's initiative and imagination that he had put him on the staff with a three year's contract.'. "Urn, Neave said, "1 think I'lngo. and thank little Betty right away. You don't expect me to work to -day do you?" Little Betty, he found, had been packed off to her grandmother's; but he stayed to lunch and tea,' and he took big Betty to dinner and a dance afterwards, They talked about them- selves, and each found it interesting. That means that, without yet know• ing it, they were in love. - London Answers.

The program is broadcast every Sunday evening at 6.45 EST, from the Montreal studios.

Helene and Bill Morton Helene and Bill Morton, the two youngest members of the famous Menton family, of Deloraine, Mani- toba, made their professional debut as members of a singing aggrega- tion composed entirely of Moe -tone who used to descend on the neigh- bouring towns with 'a car full of musical instruments and talent and with their only fanfare a very un- musical motor horn. They were known in the West as the Deloraine Black Knights, and they must have been worthy performers for they managed to finance all their musical studies on the proceeds of their im- promptu concerts. Helene confesses that she was the only girl member of the troupe and that her profes- sional uniform only varied from her brother by a matter of a skirt be- cause her parents insisted. Helene and Bill are to be heard this season from Toronto on a regular weekly sang program, "West To.
