At 2:30 the next day, Connie waa lii front of the building in which were the offices of the American Broadcasting Company. At five o'clock, she was rewarded--John Bradley was coming out ot the building and walking to his car Waiting at the curb. •'Hello, Mr. Bradley." Bradley swpng around, surprised. -"Hello," he said politely. Then he recognised her. "Panama! Miss Riley!" "I didn't think you'd remember me." Bradley smiled. "Of course^ I do.

"Well--" Bradley took her arm. "We can't talk on the sidewalk." He helped her into the car. Just . then, Miller walked up.

He pretended to. he asleep when Connie came in. "Chick! Chick!" Connie cried,.ex« citedly. "Wake up!" Chick pretended to awaken. "Huh? What time is It? Where have yoa been?" "Chick, we've got the audition!" Immediately, Chick brightened. No klddin'i" "Isn't it grand?" Connie was bubbling over. "Say," said Chick, 'Til show 'em something. When do I go on?" But it wasn't as simple as all that. Chick's voice wasn't good !• enough. Too many young fellows > had the same crooning style; there ) was no orlgjnality to his manner. .1 Only Bradley's influence kept hlm:. from being let loose altogether. J" They gave him a Job reading the stock quotations every day--a Job which required no great show of diction or style. But it meant money, and both Connie and Chick ate. Which was something. But Connie still had faith. 8 began to plan a series of broad-; casts in which Chick could be fea-i tured. Good, straight comedy that1 would evoke "belly" laughs from the' air audiences. It was to concern al dumb vaudeville comedian. "The sketches would be written,' Connie explained to Chick, "so that, you could be natural. And there's loads of material in the storiesyou've told me. / Remember you toldu me haw they slipped a fish in the tenor's pocket and the trained seals"- followed him out on the stage? And the fellow whose wife was sick lii the hospital and he didn't dare open the telegram and went on and did' his act. and then found the wire was from the booking office, can* celling his time?" Chick began to enter into the" spirit of the thing. "Yeah. And the time Spiro, the magician, pulled the phoney' spiritualist stuff a<nd made the acrobat think his wife was running around with a midget." "Sure," said Connie! "There'® any amount of stuff. You could keep it going for years." ( . "Who's going to write it?" "Leav£ it to me. We'll have halt a dozen of them rehearsed so you'll be ready when .your chance comes." Connie soon won Bradley over tS the script and Chick went over with bang. Connie's cleverly written, dialogue was Just the thing for a sponsor, and in one month Chic* Rollins wait America's new sensation.
