The board stopped,, too,, politely pulling up .in the gutter so that. T might read more easiiy. It'announced that a firm of film producers were preparing a thriller near by, but that they were short of a villain. I lcarnecl that if I-sent my photo they-would consider, my face, or) if I preferred to" call with it in person, I might .-show it to. them in thxir office any morning between 10 and 10.30. The dark eyes aboye the. board were watching mc. I asked. "Do you think 1 should do?" The tired face yriqned and the head shook slowly. The board shambl-ed on Mp tlic street. .Tyvi.inß rovmd, I nearly bumped into a burly sailor, endowed , by nature with what seemed, to mc just- the .'factt they:-, .were looEiag for.
