If they had to fry this carcass Of
mine until far into the night"
On platforms of varying heights,
so musicians sit stiffly, looking to-
ward Alan Napier, who stands, baton
in hand, on conductors platform.
Director John Brahm motions to
Cregar and the big actor, snufiing
out a cigarette, takes his place on
the piano bench.
Cregar makes practice sweep on
the dummy keyboard of the piano,
Tor he Is supposed to be in the midst
OF his great concerto when the fire
breaks out. His teacher runs in from
the sidelines to correct a bit of fin
gering and then runs off again.
Technicians are still rushing
around making last-moment adjust
ments. When they move of, an
enormous camera crane rolls into
position. Everything now seems In
readiness, so Director Brahm gives
with the starting signal.
Napier taps his music stand and
the orchestra begins playing. The
camera is focused on Cregar's hands
as he plays the opening movements
in his concerto.
The number is just getting under
way nicely when, over in a far cor
ner, wisp Of smoke seeps through
the crack of a door. The door sud-
denly crashes open and a butler
rushes in yelling, Fire! Fire!" The
big camera crane with it's crew of
technicians aboard now sweeps over
to the door, just as sheet of angry
flame blasts through.
The crane is backing now, and
new flames leap up on all sides. In
a few seconds the whole place is in
a panic. Musicians grasping their
instruments run frantically about
trying to find an exit. The concert
spectators break French doors and
windows and jump through. George
Sanders, his arm around Faye Mar
lowe, leads her out of danger.
The place empties rapidly and In
less than half minute every one
is gone but Cregar. who sits at the
piano playing wildly. Flames are
now leaping from everywhere and,
like a demon, Cregar sits in the
midst of the conflagration. He
pounds at the keyboard and the
notes come louder and louder. The
fire is now licking at the instrument
and darting at the mad composer
The music reaches a crescendo and
stops. Cregar collapses and falls to
the floor
Director Brahm, from his position
atop the crane, calls CUT" Dozens
of flremen carrying hoses rush on
the set and in no time at all the
fire is extinguished.
Cregar laboriously picks himself
of the floor and, grinning broadly,
makes his way toward an outside
door
wait a minute. Laird, we need a
test" Brahm calls after him.
Not from me you don't" answers
Cregar. I'm going to be late as 1t
