Morris Story

Competency. She had a nasty
habit of standing on stage and not
being able to say a line."
Steve said, "Yes, because she
Was so terrified of you that , , ."
Morris' voice rose above Steve's.
"No, Because she was drunk. On
one occasion, the last, she wasn't
even able to stand, she passed out
en stage. We had to lower the
curtain and have the understudy
take over."
"That's a lie!" Steve said
hoarsely.
Carol clutched at his shoulders
with both hands. I could see that
they were shaking. But her voice
was steany. .
"Yes, Steve, It's a lie. It's what
he told the other managers in
London about me. Thats why
they wouldn't give me a job, any
of them. Dont listen to him,
Steve."
Morris said calmly, "I told the
other managers about you be
cause I didn't want you to spoil
their productions as you did
mine.
"Go on, Mr. Morris, go on! Tell
what you told them. Tell every
thing you said!"
, "I'd rather not. reallv."

that he . . ."

Aims oianton.
She sank back on the eouch
trembling violently and Steve
held her tight with one arm
round her shoulders, his other
Hand clasping hers. Morris looked
at the cigarette that he turned in
his Angers as if it were the only
important thing in the room.
"So you'd rather not talk about
what happened in London, Mr.
"No. I assure you It is as pain
ful to me as it is to Miss Blanton
nd her young champion."
i "Nuts!" said Peterson. "If I
were you, Mr. Morris, I'd talk.
And I'd talk loud."
i "Very welL It seems my reti
cence has implicated me In a
mess I'd hoped to avoid. So my
'story is this.
i "I saw Miss Blanton, then Miss
Gray, playing at the Royal Acad
jcmy as she says, and I thought
her a beautiful child giving a
Jovely performance. I cast her in
IGreen Apples. When rehearsals
(started we were a happy group of
jeople. The cast was a play
fWrisht's dream.
j "But in six weeks It was turn
jlng into a cesspool. There wasn't
it, friendship left. My actors were
behaving like a bunch of neu
rotics. My leading man and my
leading lady hated each other.
The lovely young thing who had
urcn piaying nana nogers pan
i attempted suicide. Her engage
' ment to the young stage manager
hod been mysteriously broken.
:My character man, a fine old
chap, had suddenly become a dip-
uiutmiac mat maae two in my
company, including Miss Blan-

V Steve as he started to rise.
I Carol sat rigidly, on hand cov

j Peterson growled, "Go on."
"The character man had been
milked of every cent he had, and
-made a fool of, by my pretty in
genue. In those six weeks a bril
I liant young actress' career and
love affair had been ruined by
.this Ing6nue's malignant slander.
She had broken friendships, torn
.people apart with her lies and in
trigue and ambition. That ingenue
Was Leila Gray."
There was a moment of white
hot silence before Carol, tears
streaming down her cheeks,
leaped to her feet.
"Now you see why I ran away,
why I changed my name, why
I've lived in terror of him! Now
he's trying to wreck Steve's love
lor me, he's trying to break my
life again!"
She turned to Steve, her chin
lifted bravely. "1 knew he'd do
this, Steve. That's why I wanted
to send you away. Steve, darling,
try to forget all this, forget how
horrible he is and all his horrible
lies. , . . "
She fled Into the bedroom.
Steve stared after her, a bewil
dered, almost frightened look on
his face.
"Steve." I said, "go to her. She
needs you now. Don't stand there
like that! Steve, why don't you go
to her!"
Jefl said quietly: "Because
what Morris said is true, Haila.
All of it."
No one moved. Steve was still
looking dazedly at the closed bed.
room door and Greeley Morris
watched him with anxiety. Peter,
son, the policeman, sat waiting.
I said, "No, Jeff."
"Yes. Don't you see that she's
done the same thing to your com
pany that she did In England?
Only here someone tried to kill
her for it, and that covered her
up. Everyone was afraid to tell
the truth about Carol for fear
that it might throw suspicion for
her attempted murder and Eve's
death on them. Everyone but
Alice McDonald. She knew what
Carol was and she could speak.
Carol hadn't given her a motive
for murder. But when Alice told
us you laughed at her. You didn't
believe her."
"But you didn't either."
"It started ma thinking."
Peterson said impatiently,
"What has she done? And who
did she do it to?"
"To Philip Ashley. She used the
same technique on him that she
practiced on that character man
in England. In his room I found
an I.O.U. for five hundred dollars.
It was a silly game, he said, the
I.O.U. was only a Joke. But it
wasn't a joke. It was real And
God knows how many mora of
them there were or why he was
fool enough to have loaned her
the money.
"Look at Tommy Nellson. She
had him nuts about her, she took
everything that Tommy had to
offer and then she dropped him.
She dropped him because she saw
bigger game and that bigger
gams was Steve. With Steve
there was wealth and position. No
wonder she did everything in her
power to keep the story of Lee
Gray from coming out. That's
why she was rushing the engage
ment and the wedding. She made
him think that it was he who was
doing the rushing. She talked
about endangering his life, know
ing that it would make Steve
more anxious to marry her quick
ly and take care of her."
"But, Jeff." I said, "with me she
was always , . . she seemed such
a child, I thought she was my
friend. And she was, Jeff! She
never did anything to me."
"Haila, site's been using you
