Rian James, columnist Of the

good job and has a grand little,
inside yarn surrounding it.
When the book was completed
it had another title that the movie
companies didn't like. Several of
them informed Mr.. James that If
he changed the title, they would
purchase the book for the movies.
Whereupon the author wracked his
brains and hit upon Love Is a

and picture. The Warner Broth.
