Bette Davis Thinks
Letter Is True

Bette Davis believes that "The
Letter" is a true story. She thinks
that Leslie Crosbie, who murdered
her lover and ruined her husband,
is still living somewhere near Singa-
pore on the Malay Peninsula.
The theory may be no more than
legend, but it's an interesting one.
Literary folk have alleged for years
that Somerset Vaughan, who wrote
both THE Letter" and Rain" as
short stories, used real situations
and actual characters.
According to the story, after
Maugham's THE Letter" was pub
lished, the Singapore Bar Associa-
ton disbarred the attorney who
saved Leslie Crosbie's neck by sup
pressing discriminating evidence.
He became a beachcomber.
