he shouldn't go on writing.
Take Robert Louis Stevenson,
for instance. In collaboration
with Miss Matte jerks and
her faithful ouija board, he
has done movie scenarios of all
his best works. Miss Matte
has just been to his publishers
about movie rights. Unfor-
tunatcly, there is a difference
of opinion with the publishers,
who are sordid persons, and
Miss Matte over the royalties.
Miss Matte believes tn ey
