CHAPTER XI.
SYNOPSIS , •
Despite Leonard Borland's pro-
tests that his bank aGeount is
ample, thougih the contracting
business in `New York ,is dead,
his pretty, opera -struck wife Dor-
is resumes her "career;"_... inter-
rupted by her marriage at 19 and
the birth of two children. Bor-
land knows her avowed purpose,
to bolster the family income, is
just another ' subterfuge. Hugo
Lorentz, her teacher, always
around, irritates him. After Dor-
is gives a recital, Cecil Carver,
opera singer, phones Borland.
At her hotel, ' Cecil says Doris
has a good voice but lacks style.
Cecil is to sing., for war veterans
but hasn't the words of a certain
song. He sings it and she says
he has a fine baritone voice. Cecil
knows of Doris through Lorentz,
says 'Hugo is hopelessly, in love
with Doris, and that Doris tor-
tures. every man she gets in her
clutches. Leonard ought to wake
her up by giving a recital, she
Says."Go get yourself . .a , tri-
umph." Cecil demands payment
for lessons -kisses. He pays but.
declares he loves his wife. He
spends much time with Cecil,
making • good progress. While
she is on tour she wires him, he
sings in, upstate recitals, makes.
a hit ad she gets him en en-
gagement with an opera company.
Again lie makes good and tear-
fully Cecil, telling him she loves
him, says he can now bring Dor-
is to his feet. A movie audience
gives Doris the "bird." Broken -
`spirited, she says she's no 'good.
She tells Leonard she loves him.
Doris learns about Cecil, and de-
cides it wasn't business that kept
him out of the city. There is a
scene at Gwenny Blair's cocktail
party and Gwenny, to smooth
matters over, laughingly suggests
that Leonard sing. ; Hel does and
'Doris is furious -he is so good.
Doris has -gone home, and Leon-
ard is staying 'at a° hotel.
I quit kidding myself .thea. I knew
I'd give anything to' have it back,
what I had pulled at the party that
afternoon. It, wasn't brave, it wasn't
g, it was just, ,plain silly,, I Aad
made .- a jackass off' myself and put
something terrible between me and
Doris. I began thinking of her, then,
and knew that it didn't make any
difference what she had dome to me,
or anything else. I wanted her so
bad it was just a terrible ache, want-
ed her worse than ever.' And here I•
was; I .had no wife, I hadno home,
I had no kids, I had no work. l didn't
even have Cecil. 1 had, just madea'
mess of my life. I think I hit an all-
time low that night. I never, felt
worse. I couldn't.
The next day I took a suite at a
hotel in the fifties. I took it by the
month. 'I didn't hear anything from
Doris., I"- .began reading the society'
pages after a couple of days, 'and she
was' in. Every time I saga her name
I saw Leighton's. On the singing, I
a
week guaranteed. That's a little
more than Rossi was paying you,
isn't it?"'
"Yeah, quite a little."
"Well -will you think it over?"
"I got a couple of good tenors and
another one coming. I got a 'couple
of sopranos I think are comers. But
in opera you've got to have one good
baritone before you've got a• show."
"You certainly have."
"All right, then, I'll' come up a lit-
tle. How' about $150?"
"Maybe you didn't understand what
I said when you came in here,y,I ap-
preciate what you -say. I'm' grateful
to. Rossi, but I'm just not interest-
. ed." •-
• The idea of singing made me sick.
He went, and I put on my hat and
engaged in my favorite outdoor•, sport
about that time. That was walking
around the opera house hoping I'd
see Cecil. A couple of days after
that I did see her.; I raced back to
the office as fast as I could get there
and put in a call for her at her ho-
tel. They said she wasn't in. I knew
she wouldn't be. That was why I
had been watching. I 'left word! that
Mr. Borland called. Then for a week
.I stuck at my desk, hoping she would
call back. She never did.
All that, .what -I've just been' tell-
ing you, was in the last part of No-
vember. When the first of December
came it crossed my .Mind it was fun-
ny no bills had . been forwarded to
me. On 'the third I found out why.
When I came down stairs in' the'
morning"- and crossedthe lobby my
cheque in hand, the one I had, given
him .for my 'next month's room rent.
It -had bounced back.. I blinked at it,
and I knew then ..why there hadn't
been any bills. Doris was paying her
own: bilis. The money was in a joint
account, 'in her name and mine, and
she had drawn every cent of it out,
started an account somewhere else,
and -there I was.
I said there must be some mistake
and !< would see' him that afternoon.
I went' out, and hustled over to New-
ark and borrowed $300 fromr a manu-
facturer of . power shovels we had
done some business with. I got back'
just -in time to get in the bank, so I
could cover that cheque before they
closed; then went back 'and told the
clerk itwasall right, I had drawn on
thewrong account, and he could put
it 'through.
R went up to my suite and counted
my money. I had $75 over what,I
had deposited in the bank. My ex-
penses, over the $170 a month r was
paying for the suite, were about, $50
a week, not counting. club dues and
other things I couldn't stave off very
long. I was just about a week and a
half from the bone yard, and I ,be-
gan to feel it again, tilt: ' thick rage
against Doris and the wy she treat-
ed me. - It would suit her fine, I knew,
to have me coming on my knees to
her,' begging for money. I ' walked
around the suite and after a while
something in me clicked! I began to
think about Horn and the Hippo-
drome and his $150 a night.
Next day he called up: "Mr. Bor-
land?"

never opened my trap. One day a guy
showed up at the office by the name

"Yes, I'm Leonard Borland."

"Marcel,• Germout and/ $igoletto. I
sang one other role,- but it was a pinch
hitting job and I w uldn't 'know it
now if I heard it."' ..
"What role was it?"
"Wagner in `Faust.' I don't sing
French, but. they let medo it in Ita-
lian. They shoved it at me in the
morning. I -sang- it --that afternoon,
and I had forgotten it .by, night."
That made the same, impression om,
him it had on the others) An opera
impressario, he's a little,. 'like a base -
bail manager. He knows all about
smoke. He gets that 'every day. But
a guy that can come out 'df the bull

ferent, When he heard that he quit
worrying,and began to lay it .out.
what I'd have to do. • The hitch came'
over the guarantee.. -'With just those
three operas, he couldn't make it
three times a week, because they
weren't giving ';Traviata" on a week-
ly schedule. ' He wanted,- me to get
up "Trovatore," "Lucia's and " tlida."
And then later "Dons Giovanni," and
they would revive it if they thought
I was right for it.
I said I couldn't get up that many
_roles 'by the end of the winter if I
had to sing three timese a week, too.
So then he had a..different idea:
"All 'right; we'll say 'Lucia' and
'Trovatore,' but get 'Pagliacci'' up by
next week, and. then --we oan pat you
on three times. You see, ham . and
eggs is once a week, too, and-"
"What 'is?" •
1
"Ham and eggs. 'Cavalleria Rus-
ticana' and 'Pagliacci,' thesd.ouble bill.
'Pagliacci' you ' can get up quick. Af-
ter the 'Prologue,' which I suppose
you know, you have -almost nothing
to do, just two real scenes, not over
ten minutes of actual singing alto-
gether. Theft we can-" •
"Oh. All, right, -then,".
"You'll need a coach. I 'recommend
Siegal. ' He's' a 'good man, works' with
us." •
"Fine, I'll take him. When do We
start?"
"Next week. Get 'Pagliacci' up by
then,' and then later we- can work you
in on the others. But' we want to
bring you out in 'Rigoletto.' That
makes you important."
So by that afternoon, I had' con-
nected with Siegal, and was back in
the same old, groove. I found out,
then how much Cecil had been giving
me„ for nothing. Do you ,• know what
'that 'bird' tea?' HeChaiked me $25
an hour, and I had to have him every
day. I had to borrow $200 more in
Newark, and it was an awful crimp
in my- $600 a week. But, at that $450
was nothing to be sneezed at.
I asked for a rehearsal. on "Rigo-
letto," with three or four of the chor-
isters. In the scene before the
courtiers •. there was some stuff I
wanted. to . do, and I had to make
them slam me down so I, really ' hit
the deck, so when I, came crawling
back to them I would really be on
my knees: They told me to come ov-
er to the theatre.
When I got. there, I walked out to
the middle of the stage, let out a cou-
ple of big ones, and it felt pretty
good. I stuck out my chest. I thought
flow I was putting it over on' Doris
and how I wouldn't come begging her
for anything. -
The conductor, Gustav Schultz, was
at the piano, .and we went through
it. I think he wanted to look me
over. I shower ahem hqw I wanted
them to heave me, and after a while
they got it so it suited me. When we
quit, I saw Parma in the wings, and
went over and shook hands.
"Hello, boy, hello. How'sa old
kid?" he said.
"Fine. How's yourself?"
"O.K. Say, it is swell, how you do
this scene. Alla baritones ran for
bedroom, make little try," audience
alla time wonder why he don't get
in. Look like he must be weak.
Ought to fight, just like you do 'em
now, and then, pow! -down he go,
just like this!"
He `threw his shoulder at me, and
I went head' over heels onto the fleor.
It was one stage fall I didn't expect.
Then he laughed. Singers, they're a'
funny breed. They've got what you
might call a rudimentary sense of
humor, in the first place, and .they're
a'rwfnl proud) of their muscles, in the
second place. people think they're
soft. Well, singing doesn't come from
the spirit. It comes from- the belt,
and it takes plenty of chest to do it
right.
I got up, and laughed, and he and
Schultz and' I went out and 'had a
drink . .
The afternoon of the performance
I put off lunch till three o'clock, and
then went out and had a good one. I
came back to the office and vocalized
my voice. I came up quick and felt
good. I wag beginning to get nerv-
ous. They all get nervous', but this
was different from what I had felt
before. It had 'a little tingle to it. I
felt I was good. I walked tip to the
hotel ands' it was about half past four.
I lay down and got a little sleep.
It seemed funny to be putting fthe
makeup on without Cecil bobbing in

"Listen;. if you're as -'good as he

"Now you're talking. Come on ov-

He came and looked• me over again
and the place over again, and then
he laughed and shook his head.
"You play?" JI asked. '
"Some kind of way, yes,"
"Coins on up."
I took him up on 'the third floor,
