Expedition to Seek
Fortune Of Pirute
BY the Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG.-Leading au-
thorities here believe there is some
foundation for stories that there is
q substantial treasure in gold and
silver coins hidden on the lonely
island Of Tristan da Cunha, but the
expedition now being fitted out in
England to search for it will have to
face considerable dif1cultieS.
"The rumor was well known on
the island" said A. B. Crawford of
Pretoria, who has just returned
from Tristan. THE ancestors Of
the present islanders knew the old
pirate Lambert well and knew he
had some source of hidden wealth
because he often used to disappear
into the bush and return with
MONEY"
The treasure is reputedly worth
So, 100000 and is supposed to be
buried between two waterfalls near

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. - - When

Peck, or any of your favorites in
some novel which has been made
into a film, do you resent the story
changes?
If you do, you're one of multi
tude. Whenever studios make a
film from a novel there is always
deluge of mail telling them not
to change the story and stick to
what the author wrote.
Sauce for Gander
After all, if it's good enough to
be popular, the outraged fans re-

Hollywood.
1t you're one of these, you might

that in Forever Amber when

cause the film code says that those
who do wrong must pay the pen
atty. In the book she was left on
her way to big and cruel sur
prise, and you had to ina CINE yolr
own ending.
Time Limitations
Another limitation in film max
ing is that picture must tell a
story in limited time; the novel
list has no such limit. You may
remember when half the country
spent most of a month reading,
Gone With The Wind" and be-
fore that, ''Anthony Adverse
It's no wonder that much of the
story had to remain between two
covers, and couldn't get on a
screen.

think, screen writer isn't a de-
mon of conceit with a mania for
changing better mems works. He's
only a craftsman, sometimes a
genius, often less inspired. But
under the compulsion of cutting the

is the eye of the camera, and he
