SYNOPSIS
Ray Owen, pretty Daytona Beach
girl, finds a luxurious yacht, "Com-
mander III," In her mooring place
when she goea^to dock her small
motor launch/ Inquiry reveals that
the yacht belongs to Earl Harrow,
noted theatrical producer. Kay is
thrilled for'she Is the star of the
local Community Players' amateur
production, "Private Lives," and
longs for a stage career. Prom the
deckhouse, Harrow admires Kay’s
beauty.... In a conversation with
his companion, “Spike" Winch,
Harrow attributes his success to
lucky breaks.
CHAPTER n
"And daring the war how did 1
happen to get shot down three times
and walk away every time and come
home with a chest full of medals
when such fellows as Guynemer who
could fly and shoot circles around me
are dead heroes? Breaks, Spike!"
"How did I happen to meet Car-
lotta Vestra and put over the big-
gest hit I ever touched? Breaks,
Spike! McGinty, the dumb mick.
through General rark. now aid n
happen he.didn’t nudge a lamp post
and get our necks broken?" Har-
row shrugged and sipped his drink.
“Breaks!" he said, his. eyes far
away, beyond the distant wooded
shore of the Halifax.
“Great girl, Carlotta," Spike said
reminiscently.
Harrow emfled at him. “Well,
I*ve had a lot oat of this dizzy life,”
he said. “If I miss out on one thing
I guess I shouldn’t complain."
“Sure," Spike said. “Breaks!"
“Right!"
After a long silence, during which
the two twati finished their drinks,
Spike said, “Look. Earl, I got a
swell idea*
“We’re on this cruise for a rest,
Harrow objected.
“Can’t help it. This mighty brain
of ”»«■ doesn’t know how to rest.
T.l«tAn, a lot of people in this town
most go north a while every year.
Stands to reason. And there’s a lot
on-
“I thought you told the papers we
were here?’’
“I did. I did, Earl, but I told them
to lay off interviewing you til] to-
night."
Harrow began to smile. He was
used to the idiosyncrasies of his
tough little press agent and body-
guard who always knew what he
was about.
"And the gag?”
"Bunch of amateurs aril giving
a home talent epry tonight,” he
•aid. “They’re going to lay ‘Pri-
vate Lives’ out in orchid."
“And what am I supposed to do?
Make a curtain speech for them or
lead cheers?"
. “Yon can be seen there and give
the boys a little story about haw
surprised you were to find such fine
talent here. It’ll put yon in solid
with all the >»»""» and their mam-
mas and papas and things. Just a
neat little gesture in passing, but
it ought to be worth a lot. All these
little things help as I*ve tried to
keep telling yon.
“But, my Lord, what could 1 say
about an amateur production of
Titrate Lives’ that would be fit to
print?"
♦‘It’ll be fit to print al right. UU
write it for yon myself. And you
say it—even cf it makes every nerve
. In your body twitch like a cooch
dancer."
Earl Harrow sighed. “AD right,"
he said, “but as punishment yon’re
going to have to come with me and
sit through the whole show."
Spike Winch burlesqued a grii
ace of pain. “Ouch! You got me,
>aL Bat I can take It; I,ean take
it 111 be there and without an
anaesthetic, either."
So that night at eight the two
men, dressed m yachting uniforms,
were among the three hundred who
filed into the Auditorium to see the
Community Players’ performance of
“Private lives.” Spike had made
Harrow wear his uniform so that
he might stand ont in the crowd and
attract that attention which was
Spilt&’s pride.
The curtain rose at 8:18. Har-
row arched an eyebrow and looked
at Spike, holding up his wristwatch.
“Not bad,” he said. “Just fifteen
minutes. Amateurs must have
changed since the last time I fell
among them."
“I hope they’ve changed," Spike
S
said sourly, from the corner of his
mouth. “The last time I saw any
it was a Junior League outfit doing
‘Romeo and Juliet’ in modern
clothes. And the agony was beyond
description. Tsk, tsk. the pity!”
Once the show was on the men sat
without whispering and gave to the
play more attention than they had
expected. Only now and then did
they exchange quick looks of pain,
and several times Harrow nudged
Spike and nodded approvingly. The
truth was, it wasn’t a bad produc-
tion; as an amateur production it
wa* unusually good.
During the first Intermission
Harrow turned to Spike. “That girl
playing the lead,” he said sipwly,
“she’s not bad, you know. Really
not bad.”
Spike was grinning.
“What’s the matter with youV'
Harrow said. “With a little train-
ing and experience she’d be an
actress of sorts. And she’s gor-
geous. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen
a girl any better looking.”
“Oh yes you have, Earl," Spike
said, still grinning.
“Where?”
“On the dock this morning."
Harrow blinked and stared at
him quizzically, then began to smile.
“Spike,’’ he said. “Am I crazy or
am I crazy. That wasn’t the honey
we saw on the dock ?”
“No? Well it wasn’t her Aunt
Minnie."
Harrow smiled and settled Into a
more comfortable position in his
seat. Spike, looking at him slyly,
is still grinning. During the sec-
ond and third acts Harrow nudged
him whenever Kay Owen had a good
speech or a clever bit of bnsiness
that won her special attention.
After the show three operators
pushed through the crowd to see
Earl Harrow, but first the producer
took out his card case, scribbled
something on a card and handed it
to Spike. “Little message to Gar-
da,” he said. Hop to it!”
Spike grinned and disappeared
with the crowd.
“Bow’d you like the play, Mr.
Harrow?” the first reporter asked.
Earl Harrow summoned his most
urbane manner. “Quite remark-
able,” he said. "As good a non-pro-
fessional production as I ever saw.
And, I might add, as good or better
than some professional ones I’ve
seen at times. Not that it was bv
any means perfect, you understand.
But it was rather well directed and
the cast had a good feeling, as a
whole, for the typically Coward
comedy of the thing. There weren’t
any Katharine Cornells or Barry-
mores, of course, no Lnnts or Fon-
tannes, but there was some good
work just the same. I especially
liked the girl that did the lead.
What was her name?” He knew
very well what it was.
“That 'was Kay Owen," another
reporter said helpfully.
“Owen? Kay Owen? Yes, I be-
lieve so. Remarkable looking girl,
isn’t she?”
“She’s the class of this town,” the
third reporter said.
“/• she?. Then she mast Indeed
be very pretty offstage, because I’ve
been quite favorably impressed
with the beauty of the young
women of Daytona, quite favorably.
Is fact, I never saw a town with so
many lovely women. Tell me, is it
the climate?"
Spike had come back. Harrow
looked at him secretly and Spike
nodded, with still a trace of that
knowing grin.
Harrow started gradually to edge
away. “ Are there any special
questions you wanted to ask me ?”
One reporter said, “How long are
yon going to stay in Daytona, Mr.
Harrow?”
“Why two or three weeks at
least,” he said, giving Spike a sig-
nificant look. “I was on my way to
Havana for a little pre-season rest,
now that everything’s ready in New
York for my first opening and m;
assistants have everything in hanc.
but somehow I think I’ll spend more
time in and around Daytona Bench.
You have splendid accommodations
for boats.” he said.
“Yeah, swell,” Spike said, cock'
mg an eyebrow at him.
As soon as Harrow could get
away he hurried backstage with
Spike.
“How did.she take it?” he asked.
"That’s the funny part of it, Earl.
Jnst like she was expecting it. Not
highhat or upstage or anything, fcor
dumb—I just can’t say it exactly,
but jnst as natural and easy as you
please.”
“Then she is an actress," said
Earl Harrow, a man who knew his
own importance.
• • • •
Kay Owen sat in her dressing
room waiting.
“Do I look funny?” she asked.
“Dizzy or giddy or anything? Be-
cause that’s how I feel.”
Pete Ryan, brown and big in his
white linen, gave her a critical in-
spection. “No,” he said. “But you
know you always look good to me.”
“Seriously, though, Pete. I want
to make a good impression.” • j
Seriously,” Pete said, sadly. He
rose. “I guess I’d better barge."
‘No, stay with me, darling. I
want you here. I won’t be able to
open my mouth if somebody isn’t
around/’
“No, he’s probably expecting to
see you alone,” Pete said. “I’ll be
waiting in the flivver, though. Be
good.”
'And Pete went out, sulking a little
Kay thought. She looked a moment
at the door he had closed behind
him, then sighed and turned again
to the mirror.
She heatd Spike Winch’s knock.
"Come in,” she said.
The grinning little man opened
the door and stood aside.
Mr. Harrow, Miss Owen," he
said. Then he was gene.
Won’t you sit down, Mr. Har-
row?” Kay asked.
Thank you.” He sank languidly
into a chair and offered her a ciga-
ret from a shining black case,
“I liked your work, Miss Owen,"
,he said.
“Thank yon, Mr. Harrow. I did as
well as I could. I never had the good
luck to see the play.”
“You didn’t?”
“Well, I seldom ever get away
from Daytona.”
Then I should say you did do
very well, starting from scratch.
Have yon had much experience?”
“Well, not any real experience,
Mr. Harrow. Just what I’ve done
with the Players here. I’ve been in
four shows and I’ve had leads in the
last three, counting this one.”
“I think you have definite possi-
bilities, Miss Owen. Yon need train-
ing, of • course, and a little work
with your voice, but you have a na-
tural ability and the looks it takes
to go with it. If I were you I think
I’d try to get some training and
really take acting seriously.”
Kay smiled and looked for a mo-
ment at the floor. “I’m afraid I
can’t do that, though,” she said.
“Why not?”
“Well, to be perfectly frank, I’m
broke I had* to drop out of school
and I’m looking for a job. No, there
wouldn’t be a chance of going up
north to study. Let’s not even talk
about it because I’m trying not to
think about that sort of thing too
much.”
“I should think it might be worked
out somehow,” Earl Harrow said,
studying the end of his cigaret as if
it were something curious. “Very
few of the stars in onr business
came from Park Avenue, you know.
Everybody in show business can
look back at some hard times and
sacrifices.!’
“Well,” she said, “I don’t like to
sound like a spineless little pessi-
mist or as if I just didn’t care, bat
I’m afraid my case is different. I
have to stay here and help my
family.”
Earl Harrow was thoughtful.
“You say you’re looking for a job?”
he said.
“Yes, but I haven’t found a
thing.”
“I wonder. I wonder." He tapped
his long white fingers on the chair
arm as he paused, pursing his lips.
“Miss Owen, I’m going to be here
two or three weeks and while this is
really a little rest cure trip for me—
I overworked getting things in
shape for the season—I’ve really a
lot of d&tail that has to be gone
over. Now, Spike—Mr. Winch, that
is—is a good press agent and used
to be the perpetual next lightweight
champion of the world—but he isn’t
mnch on neatness with a typewriter.
He jnst hammers it out, hunt and
pick, yon know. Of course, you can
typ6?**
“Yes, Mr. Harrow."
“I wonder, then, if you’d care to
help me ont. And we can talk over
the rest of it as we go along. Be-
cause, from a purely artistic point
of view, I’d-really like to help yon.”
Kay Owen was afraid she looked
very silly and that her voice sounded
as strange to Earl Harrow as it did
to her when she said:
“Why—thank you ever so much.
I’d do the best I could."
