FEMININE INTEREST. :"

in a letter editor. She refers TO a filmed
version OF Stevenson's Treasure Island" in which,
the producers proudly announce. "a feminine in
ierest has been interr plated by making the cabin
boy the pirate ship girl. She masquerades in
boys clothes with her hair bobbed" The mother
asks:

"Amen!" comments the editor. And from fathers
of boys will rise responsive chorus of "amens"
and a lament at the dissertation of a treasured
memory.
II would be worth commenting on even if this
the only case. But It is far from that. How
many literary masterpieces have been twisted al
most beyond recognition in this same sentimental
quest of feminine interest where no such interest
properly belongs. thereby losing the virity that is
the real heart and strength of the piece
