W here Simon Legree Gets His (Continued from page 24) outside the door there? ... All right come in! Look over at the door, Tom! Jump up!" The door at the back of the store swung jn. There was an increasing roar of aeroplane engines mixed with the wild yappings of the blood hounds as they dragged into the room, at the end of their leash, two men wrapped in furs and covered with snow. There was a flurry of snow and the door was forced shut with a bang . Having stamped the snow from his feet the taller of the newcomers strode over to the men at the table. He twitched nervously at his mustache. He frowned a mighty frown, ;md boomed out ..." "Did you see an old negro pass this way?" The dogs went on baying, the camera went on clicking off feet of film, the engines raced, powerful lights hummed, but above it all the poor director shouted through his megaphone. "NO, No, no, no, noooooh . . . Stop . . . CUT!" The assistant shouted, "SAVE "EM . . Hold the snow ..." and there was instant silence. The camera stopped click' ing, the lights blinked out, the engines purred to a halt, the musicians cut the march in the middle of a bar . . . Even the dogs, realizing that their acting was no longer required, stopped their yapping. The director dropped down in his chair. "Brush that snow off your coats the min' ute you get in the door. When they come in, Tom, drop your cards and face them; that gives Frank a chance to do the business with the chips . . . Now, let's do that again, and remember ..." We had seen ... or rather heard . . . enough. It was a hot day even for Hollywood, and we craved a lemonade. We slipped out through the canvas door and headed for the ice cream counter. As we passed out of the huge barn-like building, we heard again the yappings of the dogs, the roaring of the engines, the squeaking of the violins, and that poor director's megaphonic growls. And thus, hour after hour, day after day, go on the noisy preparations for . . . The Silent Drama. ([Doris Dawson, a Christie Cutie.
