4 yond that I leave definition to the reader. What is one mans belly laugh may so easily prove another mans pain in the neck.
 We find ourselves in Hollywood in the private office of one L. The odore Giltz. associate producer for ABC Films Inc.-albeit the pri- vacy remains somewhat theoretical.
 NJ. Glitz Is a man of many du- ties and must subdue that natural yen for seclusion which all picture people so notably possess.
 We discovered him at the moment displaying fine brand of his fa- vorite emoti0n-reluctance.
 Director Leo Stevens wants l.. Theodore to give him five thou sand dollar budget extension on his current picture.
 The producer hears him calmly and denies him fiatly.
 This has been going on for quite a while when we achieve our first earful.
 DIRECTOR STEVENS: I tell you, the scenes I need this money for have got to be ini They repre- sent the shows big punch--the cli- max-everythingl
 PRODUCER GLITZ: Yeah? So why don't you shooting them first then?
 STEVENS: You know d-n we'll I never work that wayl Sequences get taken in their proper order, and that's one of the main reasons every picture l turned out last year was so much better than anything
 GLITZ: Say, didn't you get your salary last year?
 STEVENS (blankly): Why, sure {; but what
 GLITZ: Then don't be talking about what you did then! It's now you're wasting my dough, aln't it?
 Stevens gets another blast
 started, but we miss his words
 in the sudden uproar. The door
 has swung violently open and
 two desperate young men are
 trying vainly to hold back three
 young women. In a jiffy the
 latter are crowding around L.
 T., jabbering in perfect unison.
 Maybe we can pick 1t up piece
 meal.)
 FIRST YOUNG WOMAN: I de- mand my right. MT. Glitz! Nobody can get fresh with me or
 SECOND YOUNG WOMAN: Bert Leroy is a louse! He put his dirty hands on me and
 THIRD YOUNG WOMAN: If you don't fire him right now, I'll raise a stink that
 (From out the welter emerges
 Leo Stevens, countenance ma
 genta, arms awave. He fiungs
 about savagely, giving off a deal
 of language that would only
 sully this page to record. Mean
 while, the producer has evoked
 comparative quiet. That Is,
 only he and one of the girls
 are talking at once.)
 GLITZ: We'll, why don't you sock ing him in the puss?
 FIRST GAL: (They're all dressed, now we notice, in nothing but large facsimiles of liquor labels, done in gauge and beads) don't have to hang around this crummy dump and take insults from a rat like him. We originated our speciality dance in this Spirit of Repeal number, and we can take 1t to some other studio.
 GLITZ: Okay, little lady. I see what you mean and I'll be fixing 1t up immediate. Now just run along and take yourselves vacation for today. Tomorrow I promise you everything Is jake and Leroy don't bother you no more. (They murmur bit longer, but shortly he's purred them right out of the office. Stevens
 rushes back, but Glitz is busy with the phone.) GLITZ: Give me Sam Klein in the legal department. Hello, Sam-Theodore speaking. I want you should right away copyright all the steps and costumes in Le- roy's new dance-particular the Spirit of Repeal You can get pie lures from him. And .listen; tear up the contracts of anyone who ain't on the set when you get over there; see?
 Gle hangs up and sits back, utterly placid.)
 STEVENS: (Introducing just a touch of wheedle): Now. l.. T., just authorize those few extra dollars, and we can both get back to work. GLITZ: This is my work. Ain't l built a career arguing birds like you downi
 STEVENS: (the lids oft again) !: Yes, you short-sighted. haggling imbecile- all you know how to dol Here throw my whole soul into creating a marvellous produc- ton, and then have to wear myself out pleading for a pittance. God,
