Mew York
Letter

NEW YORK-The spinners OF
South Sea tales have used. time
and again, the plot about the white
man who drifts out to "the Islands
and goes native. Or becomes a
beach-comber and plies himself
with native rum.
But there's a new variation 10
The standard formulas. In fact. the
situation Is completely reversed. and
the South Sea maiden goes met
ropolitan.'
Not SO long ago, I wrote a piece
about the coming 70 New York o.
Reri. half : native. half French
daughter OF Tahiti. She had ap-
peared in a picture titled "Tabu.'
in which she was a joyous, child
like. half-clad girl pursued BY a
promise made to native gods.
II 50 happened that Mons. Flo
Ziegfeld, who reviews scores OF pic
lures in an old barn on his country
place. took a squint at this film.
Thus Ell came about that Reri was
brought some 1000 miles from her
home 10 Broadway. thanked BY press
agents and camera men. and fairly
dazed with the attentions She re-
ceived. Although urged to appear
as much like a native girl as posi-
bic. Reri had a considerable ward
robe Of French dresses. Also she
had a very nice husband. who came
along.
Soon she was dwelling in a Fifth
Avenue hotel: was being taken 70
Conev Island and the night resorts
and was experiencing n thrill
after another.
The show business IS funny-in
more ways than one Once Reri
was en- route and the press clip
pings were coming in. Mons. ZieE-
field found himself I'D to his wiltine
collar in the task OF getting a pro-
6uction together.
This star was hired and that one
considered: this sketch was cut g Z
that one thrown out: routines were
changed. new song writer's called
in TO bolster M the show
And when II was all over, Reri
had ccme 1000 miles 70 appear Tor
about five minutes: she danced. TO
be sure. but the act written around
her was nothing to cable back to
Tahiti about.
VARIETY. the theater paper, com
mented f,-alv that ID was hard n
2 rl-e out inst whv all the trouble
hod been taken. Others SAID some
thing about Reri being lost in the
shuttle. Some reviewer failed 10
notice her at all. Burns Mantle
the critic and champ Dlav select0r.
Np1 \ few paragraphs some davs
later in which he declared that %
nil the beauties Of the show, he
f~l-~d Rari r~r7t refreshing.
Thus il went for a week Or e..
And the production still needed
chnD0irg. RI was runninE too long.
Just the Other dav I was gla0cinT
over some items OF stage gossip.
One ~parGgranh carried the brief In
formal on. The Reri number has
been cut out Of the show.
Meanwhile. n hears. the South
Sea maiden has gone native" IN
reverse. She has been seen IN the
gay company az young Manhattan
couDlcS.
There's little doubt that. sooner
or later. she will be able 70 get
other theater engagements and
she should be valuable 70 the NOV
Jas. I have q notion that some
time will elaDse before the 1000
miles are retraced.
Still. this version NJ the South
Sea stories Is 50 different that I
keen wondering what Will happen
next.
When II does, III let Won know.

Are we really being taken away

more, no pens. pencils or scratch
pads will be allowed In the camp
oh. goody. goodyl" cried the
business man. dancing with JOY
and kissing the camp manager on
both cheeks.
It was indeed a touching scene.
This fund, in case you have miss
cd the previous announcements,
will be used entirely TO take bust
ness men away from the desola-
ton Of their offices, away from ali
apprehensiOns, worries and despon-
denotes for a little while and let
them romp where they can once
again see blue skies and sunshine
and green things growing. II Is a
long time since the average bust
ness nan has seen any sunshine
or any green things growing, #

Once in the fresh air camp. each
business man will be searched and
