What has aroused me to write you
on this point is the distortion OF the
adventure novel, She Except for the
names of the main characters. a few
lines of dialogue, the tragedy of She
and the hint of reincarnation there
is little to suggest the original tale.
IF you know the story you will re-
call that the chief scenes of the novel
are laid in East Africa, as are most
of Haggard's stories, while the movie
version places them in the Arctic
regions.
Leo Vincey in Haggards tale was
a ward of Holley's. who on his 25th
birthday learned of the family legend.
The movie stresses span of 500 years
between the death of John Vincey and
the coming of Leo Vincey. The novel
has 1000 years elapSe since priest
of Isis broke his VOWS and fled with
an Egyptian princess. This Kallikrates
became the beloved of Ayesha and
was killed by her in fit of jealous
anger Tania and her father are the
products of a scenarist's imagination.
These changes in plot are too
marked to be accepted without protest
by one of Haggards admirers. The
excellence of the movie versions OF
The Virginian,' Little Women,
'Cimarron' and many other novels
shows what the movies can do. Why
can't they do better by the fantastic
novel? Perhaps R-K-O thought no
one read Rider Haggard any more
and decided to give its writing staff
something to do. What do you
think?'
WE think that they should have
taken greater care with She
especially since the letter above is an
indication of what the public still
thinks of this novel. Most fantastic"
novels are so weird and so readily for
gotten that little tinkering here
and there probably doesn't do them
any harm. But in the case of book
as popular as She" it seems little
cruel to iuggle the facts of its fiction
so completely that people who hung
on every word come away angry and
disillusioned and quite ready never to
60 to a film again.
The task of adapting a novel to
the screen is at best delicate one.
We have always claimed that good
book does not necessarily make good
film-just as good play very seldom
becomes q good film 1t is the tech
nique in a novel that may put it over
the border-just as in play if the
action is at fault the playwright may

year and 1 gave them nothing but ammunition. Moreover they got caribou and some $500 pounds of fish, so there was no destitution. In the spring there was plenty to eat with many ducks and whales on hand. When MT. Jarvis arrived from Washington he found all well and left everything in my charge" Brought First News of Nome Gold
 In 1898 MT. Brewer went to Wash ington to finish up this business and on the way made the first discovery of gold at Nome. He said, We brot the news to St. Michael and started the stampede to Nome. And that was all I ever got out of it."
 Interested in Archaeological Work
 MT. Brewer has been much inter- ested in the archaeological excava- tions carried on for many years at Point Barrow, mostly by the Amer fen Museum of Natural History of New York. "We find that there have been probably three races of people who have lived there at one time or another. The earliest people were the most advanced in culture. We find there probably the same culture aso found at St. Lawrence Island. It does not extend farther north than Point Barrow. It extends down the coast and jumps from Cape Prince of Wales to St. Lawrence Island. In 1919 were found 27 burials in one mound covered with five or six feet of earth. There was no evidence of anyone having lived there. Out of curiosity we opened the burial mound and found the old Boring Sea culture there There was found also another culture which extends to Herschel Island. The last one found extends from Greenland all the way through, the same as Knut Rasmussen found.'
 Discovered Oil Pits

 Cares For Shipwrecked Whalers
 For forty-two of his fifty years at Point Barrow, MT. Brewer has been a member of the Cape Smythe Whaling and Trading Company, with headquarters in San Francisco.
 "The year 1897," he said, twas the big shipwreck year at which time eight whaling ships were crushed and lost in the ice. It was my for tune to be there and | was able to give assistance. I had to take three hundred men and take care of them for twelve months. In the fall of the year President Mckinley called for a volunteers relief expedition. Jarvis and Dr. Call volunteered but could not get in by ship. They worked up the coast to where Nome now stands<@ There they collected deer and drove them to Point Bar row. These were the first reindeer to come so far north.
 Those men that I had to take care of were of every nationality in the world. It was some job to han dle them all. Besides I already had 125 Eskimos and their families work ing for me in the whaling business. I was forced to forego their rations which used to give out for the

In the center they have the consistency of lubricating oil, and the edges are like asphalt. He said, q have often seen deer, foxes, bear and birds mired in this substance. For this reason I have urged the excavation on these pits hoping that prehistoric animals so mired might be found.''

They come in thousands, fcok after flock. They cover the sky from one end of the horizon to the other. They fly north of Point Bar row to the east Later in the fall they return and come in off shore.
