at the Grill Room entrance where

was installed.

Nothing personal" he answered.
Here is one of my most distinguished
patrons. however, who does. Captain
Tyson - MIR. Norman Slay -"
A small man, pale but with the face
and expression of a world conqueror,
shook hands with me. You want to
know about Osmond Lake and his
film" he enquired crisply.
Ipleaded guilty to a certain amount
of curiosity. He plunged at once into
speech.
"Osmond Lake" he declared, "is a
brilliant writer, if anything little too
imaginative. He showed me the script
of film not long ago. couldn't touch
it, but then I buy and produce films
to make money. This had all the gifts
except the money touch. He threat
ened to produce it himself. That's
what believe he is doing. He works
on original lines. He keeps his COM
pany locked up. He has contrived to
create an atmosphere of mystery
around everything he does. What I
saw of his manuscript was beautiful -
but blasphemous. He is capable of
making it the greatest film that has
ever been shown"

Dismissed" I inquired curiorsly.
For incapacity. Mr. Lake told Us"

cigarette.
She helped herself gratefully. Her
manner was becoming more normal.
His behavior to the rest of us" she
went on. "is kindness itself, but that
does not alter the fact that we are all
terribly afraid of him. There seems to
be no escape at any hour of the day.
He engaged that large round table in
the Grill Room the day we started,
and everyone is expected to dine there
at night and discuss progress"
Exactly when was Phillip Dean
sent away?" I asked.
The fear was back again in those
great eyes. Last Tuesday"
''He didn't say goodbye to any of
you?"
''He has not been near U.S." she
assured me.
HAS Lake referred to his disap-
pearance in any way?"
"Mr. Lake came in for dinner very
late that night. He just said that he
had made arrangements with Mr.
Dean to relinquish the part. that MIR.
Dean was going back to America and
that he intended to take over the
part and play it himself"
rs he capable of doing that?"
Il suppose so. He is an actor"
What is your role in the film?"
She half closed her eyes and moved
uneasily in her chair. "A horrible one.
The spirit of sin brooding over the
world. That is all can tell you"
Have you an agent?" l asked her.

with agents. He drew up the con-
tracts himself"
He pays good salaries?"
''He pays me two hundred pounds

what the others are getting. but they
seem satisfied. My salary would be
all right" she went on. but am
kept here as a prisoner. I am not al
lowed to see even newspaper man.
Mr.. Lake possesses the most charm
ing manners in the world, but is rude
to anyone who wants to interview
me. How can he possibly expect to
produce film in West End and defy
the press?"
1T does seem rather problem"
l admitted. MAY think it over for
a day or two? I will make a few en-
quiries about your chief and see if
can discover what has become of
Phillip Dean"
THAT is just what I want you to
do," she agreed eagerly.
There is one more question I must
ask. When you came in here, you were
shockingly nervous. You even wanted
me to lock the door. Nothing that you
have told me about the situation
could account for this"
Captain Tyson" she confessed, II

Ed O'Neal Of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, urged the ad-
vocacy Of the restoration of farm in
come and purchasing power and the
maintenance Of a prosperous agricul-
ture TO form the basis for industrial
and national prosperity, employment
and security. To accomplish this, he
said, the Democrats should 60 on
record in favor Of the adoption or
continuation of policies seeking effec-
tive adjustment and control of the
volume of farm products, a perman-
ent system of commodity loans, main
tenance of a well-rounded soil con-
servation and land utilization pro-
gram, expansion of both domestic and
foreign outlets for farm products and
full protection of the domestic mar
ket for farm products.
ONeal also Endorsed the revaluation
OF the dollar. saying:
The revaluation of our dollar has
already demonstrated conclusively the
effectiveness of monetary control in
checking ruinous deflation and re-
storing commodity price levels"
L. J. Taber, head of the non-parti-
san National Grange, said the Ameri-

Wagner Made Chairman.
The first action of the committee
was to elect Senator Wagner of New
York chairman. He said the COM
mittee was anxious to give everybody
ample opportunity to present their
cases, but urged them to have some
consideration" for the committee and
be as brief as possible. William z.
Boyle of Nevada was chosen secretary.
Wade Martin Of Louisiana submitted
plank on behalf of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress indorsing
the New Deals river development and

ton for determined stand against
communism in America. This plea
drew the first burst of applause from
the spectators. Albert Falk of Wheaton,
Mimi, asked for a dollar-a-day pen
sion for all veterans.
Canon William Sheafe Chase of the

urged the delegates to go on record as
opposing commercialism in politics; he
also urged the Democrats TO call

peared on behalf of the Public
Welfare Association of New York. He
appealed TO both political parties to
join on the ground of common
Americanism" ia protecting American
institutions and educating the people

Haywood Broun, speaking for the
American Newspaper Men Guild, told
the committee plank indorsing the
right of collective bargaining will be
inadequate unless accompanied by an
other plank giving the Federal Gov-
ernment the power to protect labor
in such negotiations. At the present
time, he said, individual newspapers
probably can refuse to negotiate COL
iectively with their employees and sue

ground they are not engaged in inter-
