She saw Lawford's cheek redden.
So Louise welcomed the approach of Mr. Bane, who chanced at the moment
to be idle.
"Now you will see us grinding them out, Miss Grayling," the actor said.
Louise broke into a series of questions regarding the taking of the
pictures. Her evident interest in the big leading man halted Lawford's
approach. Besides, Miss Louder, who had evidently been introduced to
the Taffy King's son, attached herself to him.
She was a pretty girl despite the layers of grease paint necessary to
accentuate the lights and shadows of her piquant face. Her manner with
men was free without being bold. With a big parasol over her shoulder,
she adapted her step to Lawford's and they strolled nearer.
Bane was speaking of the script he had previously mentioned as
containing a part eminently fitted for Louise. As Lawford and Miss
Louder passed he said:
"I am sure you can do well in that part, Miss Grayling. It is exactly
your style."
Had Lawford any previous reason for doubting Louise Grayling's
connection with the moving picture industry this overheard remark would
have lulled such a doubt to sleep.
