on is that Jim Buckaroo shall be a
typical rough character, like he has
always been, with heart of gold and
considerable shrewdness under his typ
ical costume. Well, here is the way 1t
strikes ine-he could be that and we
could still find way to get him TO
Europe easy and logical. But why should
he have to be in Wyoming or California
to start with? Tread book once about
lot of these old ruins down in Central
America, which show that there was
a vanished civilization there. Now, why
couldn't Jim Buckaroo be a pioneer down
in Central America as wen as anywhere
else, and the same kind of character
he's always been?--a typical rough fell
low, you know, but shrewd, and his
hearts right Down there in Central
America he comes onto all those old
ruins-Ive seen pictures of them lately
in the magazines, and that stuff has
never been filmed yet; and those old
ruins of former civilization make Jim
think he ought to be more cultured him
self. See? And so he goes to Europe,
and that's when he meets this dame
this queen-and he finds out"
What becomes of our gold rush them"
asked the picture director.
We could have him come around the
Horn in a windjammer for the gold
rush, and wrecked in Central America
on his way to California" said Mr.. Cum
minis, the story editor. "You better make
a note of that, Mr.. Juniper"
I'VE got that old windjammer we
used last year over at Catalina Island
yet, haven't we?" inquired Mr.. Shapiro.
"It's all clear to you now, isn't it. Mr..
Juniper?" inquired Mr.. Schwarz.
mot entirely, Mr.. Schwarz," said Cuth-
bert Juniper. II shall completely throw
away Howard Millbanks's book, The
Pioneer; I understand that"
co CUTHBERT JUNIPER went away
with the material which he had gar
nered at the conference and in two days
came back with new story which he
and his assistants had evolved from
the suggestions given them. But at the
new conference 1t speedily developed
that Mr.. Berghoff, the chief assistant
to MIR. Bryan, one of the most important
supervisors, had also been reading q
book.
Listen" he said, Miss Samuels In
my offlce-you all know what bright
right after our conference the other
day, and think we ought to buy it and
turn it over to Mr.. Juniper and Miss
Edmonton and Mr.. Scripps. It's got q
great idea in it--a great idea for story,
and it's great idea scientifically and
historically, too, or you might say pre-
historically. Well, believe It or not, once
there was another continent-or an
enormous island-right out in the middle
Of the Atlantic Ocean. Atlantis, they
called it. and it connected up South
America and Central America with
Africa. Do you get me? Eh? Well,
those ruins we decided on the other day,
down in Central America, are similar to
the ruins they've got all over Egypt, In
Africa.
Nov, why can't the hero of this
story start out as a pioneer in Central
America, and instead of going to some
European court he goes to Egypt! And
this queen he meets up with there looks
like a picture he saw on one of these
Central America ruins-or a statue. It
would probably have to be a statue or
a carving of some kind, like one of these
hieroglyphics. If you get me. Mr.. Juni-
per can straighten that out. Well, any
how, this dame he meets in Egypt is
reincarnated from some dame that ruled
