particularly for him. Perhaps it is even
more accurate to say that the entire
play was built with the author, Mr.
Pagan. envisioning Glenn Hunter in the
central part. Twice Mr.. Pagan sold his
play. but each time with the stipulation
that the producer must engage Hunter
for the starring role. Upon both occa-
lions the actor was under contract either
for pictures or stage plays, and thus was
not available
Finally, last Spring. Mr.. Pagan struck
when the iron was hot. Leonard Berg
man, the producer, was interested in the
play: Glenn Hunter, the actor, was
without an immediate engagement. Mr.
Pagan brought them together and the
