ACTION.--The girl indicates determined resolve. She throws apart
the portieres with a quick motion of her arms and dashes inside.
The portieres close after her. The butler and maid come on
running and looking about.
SCENE 8
LOCATION.--Remsen library. Full shot.
ACTION.--The spotlight is showing into the fireplace when the
girl crosses quickly into its rays. She stoops into the light,
revealing her face and picking up the spotlight. She flashes it
about the room, pausing as it strikes the French windows and
reveals the murderer making his escape out on a balcony which is
revealed in the background. When the rays of light reach the
murderer he deliberately turns.
SCENE 9
LOCATION.--Remsen library. Close foreground of French windows.
ACTION.--The intruder, now in the close foreground, pauses as he
is about to shut the window and blinks deliberately into the rays
of light, then laughs and closes the French windows.
SCENE 10
LOCATION.--Hallway, Remsen home. Close foreground of portieres to
library.
ACTION.--The butler and maid look around hopelessly. A young man,
the exact counterpart of the man who in the previous scene looked
into the spotlight at the French windows, comes up to the butler
and demands to know what has happened. The butler explains
hurriedly that he heard his mistress cry out for help. The young
man steps to the portieres and pauses.
SCENE 11
LOCATION.--Remsen library. Full shot.
ACTION.--The girl, using the spotlight, flashes it about the room
and down on the floor, seeing for the first time the body of the
American millionaire.
SCENE 12
LOCATION.--Exterior Remsen house. Night tint.
ACTION.--The murderer scrambles down a column from the upper
porch and leaps to the ground, darting across the lawn out of the
picture.
SCENE 13
LOCATION.--Remsen library. Full shot.
ACTION.--The spotlight on the floor reveals the girl sobbing over
the body of the millionaire and trying to revive him. She screams
and cries out. The portieres are parted and from the lighted
hallway we see the young man, the butler, and the maid, who
enter. The young man switches on the lights and the room is
revealed. The three cry out in horror. The young man, glancing
about, leaps toward the partly opened French windows, drawing a
revolver. As the girl sees him she screams again and denotes
terror.
Finishing the thirteenth scene, Kennedy closed the covers and
handed the script to me. Then he confronted Manton once more.
"What became of the locket about the girl's neck? In the
manuscript Miss Lamar is supposed to have a peculiar pendant at
her throat. There was none."
"Oh yes!" The promoter remained a moment in thought. "The doctor
took it off and gave it to Bernie, the prop. boy, who's helping
the electrician."
"Is he outside?"
