PERFECT SCENARIO
Mr.. Keisling also pays the great

compliment. He says that Shake

although the Bard probably never
in his troubled dreams visioned a
movie studio.
To show just how perfect the
scenario is, M-G-M has sponsored

In this volume the original play
is printed on one page and on

Moving about is awfully good
luck for Kay Linaker. When she
first arrived in Hollywood, she
moved her abode four times, and
each time she was given a picture
job. Just the other day she moved
for fifth time, and that very day
she was signed for the lead by an
independent company, took a test
at major studio, and signed to do
one of the leads in a forthcoming
stage play. So, when all this is
finished, I guess she'll move again

COBB CALLS 1T FEUD
Irving Thalberg Of Metro-Gold-
wyn,Mayer has been playing with
the idea of putting Romeo and
Juliet" on the screen for 10 years.
But he didn't get around to pro-
duction until six months ago
and after three years Of research
and preparation.
Probably he was swayed in his
plan to film the Bard by Irving
Cobb who told the sage of M-G-
M why Romeo and Juliet" is
nothing but a Kentucky feud
story.
Anyway the famous love affair
between the daughter of the Capu-

most of the straw huts were shut tight; If the
wood-cutting parties had gone to their work
at all, they had already returned from the
forest and we're now barricaded within doors.
Only few men were visible in the town and
these moved hurriedly, evidently Fastening
to complete some urgent task before darkness
fell.
McGregor knew the signs. He made camp
in grove of sal trees near the western edge
of the town, surrounding his tent with brush
heaps to be fired at dusk and kept burning
through the night Then he sent for Bulbud.
"Sahib, our trouble is still upon u.s." the
old man said in answer to McCregor's ques-
ton. But it is thing not worthy of your
condescension. You did much for us, your
humble servants, when you gave us so much
powder; hence we have sent you no further
complaint of our affliction. Nothing remains
for us but to leave our village"
McGregor filled his pipe slowly. pondering
his course This was what he had feared He
had seen more than one forest village aban-
doned because of the striped death sent
against them, the natives said, by Kali, the
destroying goddess. If Rangapoor were now
deserted, with the fire season just beginning,
the results might be disastrous.
McGregor leaned forward from his camp
stool. This is a serious matter" he said
gavely, land l shall keep it in my thought.
But must ride on tomorrow to great fire,
in the western hills. So soon as that is finished
I shall return, and before that shall send
orders for trackers and pad-elephants to meet
me here so that we may hunt down this
killer. Till then your people must remain in
Rangapoor."
Bulbud's withered brown face seemed
stricken with anguish. II shall try to keep
them, Sahib," he quavered, "but l cannot
promise 1t is great beast that levies tribute
upon us, mighty lord of the Jungle Even
you, Sahib, cannot kill him with your guns
and elephants. Since that dusk, forty days
ago, when he met us in the broad road and
took Malwa out of our midst, have known -"
He stopped abruptly.
"You have known what, Bulbud2" Nc
Evening star., 1936-01-05
THIS WEEK

Gregor asked softly What is it you mean1"
But Bulbud evaded this question. "Since
the powder came for our guns we have done
all that we could. On twenty nights we have
tied up buffalo calves with man in tree
watching each calf. He came to the bait the
first night and the man in the tree fired at
him and missed; since then he has not come
to our bait nor shown himself to our eyes,
We have watched in the moonlight above the
paths that he walks, and always he has
walked another path. We have dug pits and
have found in them three leopards and many
lesser things, but the lord of the jungle we
have not found. We have guarded the village
at night with our guns, and still we have
found his prints in the morning where he
walked in the darkness past the huts. And the
killings 60 on Nineteen now. Sahib, this is
grievous thing for us to bear"
McGregor tapped his knee impatiently with
the bowl of his pipe. II have asked you
question, Bulbud," he said sternly. "You said
that when the tiger met your company in the
road and took Malwa out of their midst, some
thing then became plain to you. What was
that thing1"
This Sahib," Bulbud answered after a
pause. his voice trembling yet defiant: that
this tiger is of the clan of the Chedipee the
invisible woman. She walks unseen beside him
and gives him her evil wisdom and warns him
of all that we plan against him. 1t was thus
he knew that our guns were empty when he
met us in the road. 1t is thus he knows what
paths we watch and where our pits are dug.
speak unwillingly of this, Sahib, for you do
not believe it. Yet I, who am very old, know
it to be true"
McGregor nodded gravely. II am not of
those. Bulbud," he said, "who scoff at what
they do not understand. This Chedipee now
the woman of this tiger. Where does she
hide1 1t is necessary to know that"
Bulbud glanced at him quickly, his sunken
eyes suddenly bright, as though for the first
time he saw gleam of hope. There is
stone ruin above the hill-path through the
karinda thicket," he said eagerly. "a broken
shrine with tomb of one who had been dead
perhaps thousand years. We cannot read
the writing on it, but our fathers fathers
said that great Sultan whose name has been
forgotten, buried woman there "a girl
whom he loved This lord of the jungle who
now afflicts US first came against us from
that spot. 1t was there that he killed Kasim
and it was there that he carried Ghetto and
Malwa and three others. It is clear to us
that the unseen woman of this tiger is the
woman of that tomb, the Sultan's favorite"
Evening star., 1936-01-05

McGregor nodded. THE woman of the
tomb. he repeated thoughtfully. "Yes. that
is clear. There is. then. something that can
be done. Why have you not done it before
this?"
The old man was staring at him incredu-
lously. "The Sahib knows1" he stammered;
the Sahib beIieves1"
"Yes," McGregor answered. II know /
know of the charm of the nail. Tell me- why
has the needful thing not been done2"
1T will cost ten rupees ~Bulbud mr-
mured "The rail span long we already have;
but the holy man, the offering &. . ten rupees
at the least. And we are poor; we could not
find so much wealth."
McGregor rose and went into his tent In
few moments he returned. He held out his
hand to Bulbud. Here are twelve rupees.
See that the thing is done properly. When
have finished with the fire in the western
hills shall return here to learn from you
what has happened"
Bulbud bowed almost to the ground. "Sa-
hib," he said his thin voice vibrant with
joy, lit will be over then. Our homes will be
open to welcome you, and our women will be
full oflaughter, and there will be no more fear.
For the accursed striped one will be dead"
When Bulbud had left him, McGregor re-
mained seated in front of his tent, smoking
contentedly. 1t was odd, he reflected, that the
Chedipee myth had turned up here 1t was
one of the more obscure superstitions and he
had encountered II onlv tWice hef0re ir,
district far from this one
Evidently, however, Bulbud and his fellow
villagers believed in it firmly. Now that the
financial obstacle had been removed, Bulbud
would take nail span long to a holy man
who would perform certain secret ceremonies
over it. The nail would then be taken to the
place where the tigers woman. the Chedipee,
was supposed to hide in the daytime and there
the nail would be driven into the nearest tree
This would accomplish two things: the tigers
mouth would be locked by an invisible nail
a replica of the other, which simultaneously
would be driven through his jaws; and the
Chedipee would be prevented from coming
out from her abode to draw out the nail and
free the tiger.
McGregor was conscious of sudden pity.
1t seemed heartless game that he was play
ing: pretending to believe in this fantastic
Indian magic in order to keep these poor
devils at Rangapoor until he could return and
deal effectively with the man-eater. But if
Rangapoor were abandoned, the tiger would
simply transfer its attention to one of the

other villages of the district. Moreover. it
might be worth while to let Bulbud try his
scheme Strange things did happen in India :.
Two weeks later McCregor again pitched
his tent in the sal grove outside the western
boundary of the village. 1t had been impos-
sible to return sooner. The fire in the hills
had been stubborn one and. moreover, a
messenger from headquarters had brought
word of an unavoidable delay in sending the
pad-elephants and trackers to Rangapoor. It
was clear that they had not yet arrived, since
they should have been encamped here in the
sal grove.
He saw with relief that at any rate the
village had not been abandoned, and sent his
man to bring Bulbud to him. 1t was odd, he
reflected, but it would almost be worse to
learn that the killings had ceased than to learn
that they were continuing. That would mean
well, what exactly would it mean1
He saw Bulbud approaching, and his heart
seemed to skip beat as he realized that the
old man was smiling.
at has happened as we knew it would
happen, Sahib." Bulbud said at once. "Since
the day when the nail was driven into the
tree above the Chedipees tomb. no life has
been taken. The mighty lord of the jungle no
more afflicts us. Undoubtedly he is dead -"
Bulbud fell back hurriedly, his eloquence
suddenly cut short. McGregor had risen and
was shaking his finger in the old mans face.
THAT is nonsense" he said vehemently,
cor lie! It's impossible You're trying to
defend your internal black magic; you're try
ing to make me believe " He recovered
himself and, after staring silently at Bulbud
for moment, resumed his seat. The tiger, h.
said, had simply shifted its operations to an
other village. Bulbud, however, shook his
head.
MAY be your sacrifice, Sahib," he
quavered. "Slay me if you will, but why
should I, your worthless slave, befoM my
mouth with lies? Yesterday runners came from
Ramawati and from Feogar and this son of the
devil has shed no blood in either place. The
Sahib knows there are no other villages in
these jmgles, and he knows that devourer Of
men does not stop killing until he himself is
dead. This one is dead, Salib, because his
jaws were locked by the nail and the Chedipee
being fastened in her tomb. could not draw
the nail out. and so this accmsed striped one
has starved to death"
McCregor rose. Il am tired after my jom-e
ney," he said. II will sleep now."
He didn't sleep. however. Lying on the
cot in his tent, he told himself that if it were
not for certain other things he had run into
during his twenty years in India, this thing
wouldn't be so serious. Coincidence as an
explanation had worn thin. What Bulbud had

NURSE MENACED
IN HEWITT CASE,
LAWYER CLAIMS
Received Threats After She
Told of Sterilization.
Is Charge.

BIZ United Press
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 8-Re-
ports that q nurse who attended
Miss Ann Cooper Hewitt had been
threatened with death and the pos
sibility that police would take a
hand in the case today enlivened
the girls story that she was steri-
lized on ner mothers order.
Miss Hewitt, 81, is asking $780,
600 from her mother, two physicians
and Mrs. Mary Scally, state health
department psychiatrist.
The physicians, Drs. Tilton Till
man and Samuel Boyd. admit the
operation was performed.
Nurses Give Version
Miss Hewitt charges the motive
was the desire of her often-married
mother, Mrs. Maryon Hewitt Nc
Carter, to obtain control of the en-
tire estate left by her father, Peter
Cooper Hewitt, the inventor.
The will stated the mother would
receive the entire estate should
Miss Hewitt die without issue.
Russell P. Tyler, Miss Hewitt's
attorney, revealed the nurses, Ann
Lindsay, Sarah Bradford and
Grace wilkins, had given him intor-
nation. George Engler police in
spector,. said the case probably will
be presented to the grand jury.
Found Her to Be Normal
Mr.. Tyler said the affidavitS pro-
vided by three nurses confirmed
the nature OF the operation and
stated they found her normal
woman and not "half-wit" or
mental deficient.
The threats of violence were re-
ceived by Mrs. wilkins, Tyler said.
Mrs. wilkins also received a note
warning her to remain silent about
the operation and signed by Mrs.
McCarter, Tyler said. He did not
produce the notes.
The action is the second taken
against Mrs. McCarCer by her
daughter. The other suit, filed IN
New Jersey, demands an accounting
of funds.
Doctor Defends Action
Miss Hewitt charges that although
she presumably had monthly in
come of about $1,000 from the trust
fund she received but few dollars
from time to time, was kept vir-
tual prisoner in luxurious apart
ments, given little education or
formal schooling, and frequently was
upbraided by her parent as moron
and an imbecile.
DR.. Tillman, family physician and
close friend of Mrs. McCarter, de-
clared Ann not only refused to CO.
operate in various medical examina-
tions, but showed little aptitude dur
ing a number of attempts to educate
her.
He denied Mrs. Hewitt had neg
lected her and said the sterilization
was considered advisable to prevent
the girl from becoming involved in
moral difficulties"
