Says Mr. A. H. Ward, Montreal, Quebec: "The use of harsh, irritating cathartics is a thing of the past in our house. When we found out about KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN, several years ago, we knew that at last this was our way to be 'regular'. I've made it a habit to recommend ALL-BRAN to my friends." Why don't you try ALL-BRAN'S "Better Way" to correct the cause of constipation due to lack of the right kind of "bulk" in your diet. But remember, ALL-BRAN doesn't work like cathartics. It takes time. Get ALL-BRAN at your grocer's, in two convenient size packages, or ask for the individual serving package at restaurants. Made by Kellogg's in London, Canada.

Little Barbara Jo, a friend of Penny Morris, whom Tommy loves, U in despair because she and all her pals have been prom- ised a trip to the country by the Doman Street Settlement House. But now there is no money in the treasury. Tommy arranges a gi- gantic block party which will in turn finance a benefit show. Ac- tually though, it is all for th purpose of getting his own act a publicity break. When Penny hears this, she walks out on him. The Block Show is a success but now Tommy is down on his luck again for Jonesjr, who had prom- him Thornton Reed^s dilapi- Ducheis Theatre for the benefit, is too busy to bothei with it. CHAPTER FIVE Tommy was just stepping through the door when Jonesy poke again. "Tommy, I wonder . . ." He turned around. "Look, you don't happen to know an act, a good bright group that could be spot- ted a couple of times in Mr. Reed's how?" "Sure,"' h returned. "Who? Where?" "Right here. 'The Three Balls of Fire.' " She shook her head impatiently. "No no Tommy. I Leed a big act, at least twelve or fifteen and a ringer." Tommy began to shake with ex. eitement.

She looked at him as if she were seeing him for the first time. "I wonder . . . no. Thorn, ton wouldn't. . ." She stopped. "I don't know why not though. Tommy could you get that won- derful girl, what's her name?" "Penny Morris?" "Yes, Penny, and that gang of yours from the drug store? Could you get them all together and re- hearse to do that number tomor- row afternoon at a matinee, ex- actly as you did it yesterday?" Tommy swallowed his Adam's apple. "You mean . . . that is ... you mean . . ." "Yes, for Reed's show tomor- row in Philadelphia." As Tommy got hysterical and incoherent at once, she went on. "All right, get 'em all together. Be here in my office at five o'clock. We're tak- ing the six o'clock train for Philadelphia." She looked up. "And may heaven have mercy on my soul." Tommy let out one yell. "Six o'clock five o'clock right here." He rushed at her, kissed her glasses and headed for the door. "Ail-aboard for Philadel- phia !" At the Settlement House, he didn't bother with formalities. What was the difference if Penny wasn't speaking to him? Snatch- ing her arm he pulled her into the office and gave it to her all in one big jumble. Then he grin., ned like a Neon light. "Success in three easy lessons. And now, what do you think of Williams?'" Penny stood there and looked at him. Then she rubbed her eye* as if it were all too much for her. "I think," she said bitterly, "Wil- liams is still Williams." It was like tumbling down out of the clouds. "Why Penny what . . ." Her cheeks were flaming. "You're going to Philadelphia. Well that's fine. But without me.' "Without you?" he exclaimed in horor. "Penny you're crazy. This is it! What are you talking about?" "The same thing," she saio. tonelessly. "Those little kids that we promised. Tommy don't you see?" She leaned across the desk pleadingly. "Those two weeks in the country aren't going to cur* their ailments, true. But it's the, idea of giving some kid the hap- piness he's always been dreaming about. Thornton Reed has a mil- lion dollars. And you and I can get another chance. But those kids . . ." Tommy s p o k a defensively. "Yeah, but you don't get the point. I'm talking about the live* and careers of fifteen people, artists. I'm talking about Tommy Williams and Penny Morris, the performers. That hasn't got any- thing to do with kids going to the country." He reached for her hand. "Penny, let's get up there. on top. Let's be stars first and then we can . . ." She turned away. "Never mind, don't bother. You haven't heard a word I said." And then she flared just once. "Go on, go to Philadelphia. And I hope you stop the show." She walked out. * * Now Tommy was furious. Thin was too much. Sure he and th gang would go to Philadelphia. They'd get along without Penny. Let her have her crazy ideals and see if that got her any place. And maybe sometime when his name was up in lights, she'd be sorry to have been so uppity to the great Tommy Williams. He was just passing by the gym door when it opened and Bar- bara Jo appeared. She tugged a) his sleeve. "Oh Tommy, I been looking for you all morning. It's awful important. Everybody's waitin' in the gym." Tommy tried to get away. "I'm sorry, but you see I'm busy . . ." "Please. It'll only take a min- ute." Reluctantly, he followed her in. Then he stopped short. All the Settlement kids were standing there, lined up, their faces shin- ing. "What's the matter?" he demanded nervously. "What's up? What do you want?" At this Barbara Jo started to speak. "Weil you see, Mr. Wil- liams all the kids and myself, we) GLAMOR GIRL Glamorizatiun of Shirley Templa begins with this photograph by Hurrell, ace Hollywood lensraan, and will continue in her forth- coming film. had a meeting and we were talkin' about how much you been doing for us. You see, no one ever did anything about getting us to the country before, except you and well, we just wanted to say 'thank you' so everybody chipped in and we bought you a present and here it in." * Tommy stared at the package in his hand. Then, as all the kida applauded and whistled, he opened it. There was a round Ingersoll watch in the box, shining and new and proud. The price tag was still there: "Three fifty." Moisture came into his eyes. "Gosh." His voice was stuck. Now it came out rough with tears. "Kids, you shouldn't have. 1 ' He looked at them helplessly. Then gradually other words cam* to him. Now his face was serious. "Listen everybody, it's the nicest present I ever saw 'cause every time I look at this watch I'll M your faces and remember every one of you and what a great gang you are. And when you go to the country and you are goin' you'll be glad you gave it to m. So then we'll all be happy." He turned around and hurried down the corridor. Penny was back in her office. She looked up. "You bettar hurry or you'll miss that train." "Look," Tommy said tightly, "I just got one more speech and I have to make it." Penny turned her face away and ha said, "You don't have to listen any more it you don't want to." She swallowed hard. "All right, I'm listening." Tommy put his hands in his pockets and began to paca th floor. "Psnny, all my life I've, been rehearsing to be a big man and it took five minutes for me to find out that I'm only a heel." She turned to look at him startled. "A bunch of littla kids chipped in nickels and dimes and bought ma a watch." He took it out. "Pen- ny, I'm pretty ashamed that it took a bunch of six year olds to make me realize there's more to life than a song and a dance and an encore . . . and that there's more to people than just setting out front and being an audience." He stared at the watch. "It's halt past one and that's the end of my speech." * Penny was looking at him now with her heart in her eyes. "Tom- my," she said tremulously, "that's a wonderful speech." Then she smiled. "And life begins at half past one." He smiled back nervously. "And now I've got a couple of words to say . . . really only three . . ." "Well why don't you say 'em and get it over with?" "Aw." He was blushing. "1 could say 'I love you' but every- body says it that way. Look." He sat her down beside him and took her hands. "Penny, weren't you ever out in a rain storm and you felt like you were the only person in the .vorld who wasn't getting wet? Were you ever look- ing at a full moon and it was only half a moon because you were looking at it alone?" "Well . . ." Penny murmured. He went on, "Did you ever meet anybody, then suddenly you felt like you were taking off the ground, right into space as if you Wx?re the propeller going round and round, thirty thousand revo- lutions to the minute and there weie no landing fields left in the world?" Penny looked at him rapturous- ly. "Yes," she whispered, "I've had that feeling . . . and it started in a drug store." Solemnly, he leaned over and kissed her. Then he said, "Isn't it wonderful what you can get these days in a drug store-?" It was some minutes later, that slern reality confronted them again. Tommy jrianced at the watch and jumue-d up. "Come on." His eyes were a lit lie sad. "We've got to gj ami U-ll .jonesy that the sho v in Phi ad.'lphia is all off."
