SOUTH SIDE

United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 15.—There is a lady who functions as a clerk in a department store at Canton, O., who’s = started something, about $100,000 worth, to-wit: “I'm always getting mail from people either asking advice or offering it,” reported Hoosier-born Lloyd C. Douglas, the man who spent 30 years in the pulpit and kept on preaching after he became one of America’s popular novelists. (Now he does his preaching in print, to excellent profits, financially and spiritually.) ‘He is a native of Columbia City, Ind. “About two years ago I received a letter from this woman in Cane ton,” Mr. Douglas continued. “She asked me if I'd ever heard of the legend about the Roman soldier who had won the robe of Christ in a dice game after the crucifixion. I had to confess that I had not heard of it, but it set me to thinking. I decided to do .a little story about it.”

$100,000 For Film Rights

Mr. Douglas started his little story on Jan. 1, 1940, but it soon got out of hand. Looked like it might turn into a brief novel. By last month, when he'd finished it, he had a book 700 pages long, carefully documented, about life in the first century and particularly about the effect of Christianity on the Romans. He titled it “The Robe,” sent it to his publishers for printing next month and began figuring on his annual lecture tour. The movies had done well hy such books of his a8 “Magnificent Obsession” and “The Green Light,” but Mr. Douglas wasn’t much interest ed in their attempting “The Robe.” It was his magnus opus, possibly the last novel he'd ever write (he’s 65 and thinking about retiring), and he felt he'd be mighty unhappy if the movies turned his book into a technicolor spectacle, with chariot races, Roman orgies and maybe some scenes showing slaves being fed to the lions.

Detail Is Accurate .

“So I didn’t worry ' about the movies,” Mr. Douglas said. “Then I met Frank Ross (an independent|w producer at R-K-O) and I let him see part of the book and he was enthusiastic. ‘-He agreed with me: no spectacle. I let him have it.” Mr. Ross paid $100,000 for the film rights. That's a steep price for an unpublished novel, but even $0 other producers are unhappy about not being allowed to bid. As for the lady in Canton, Mr. Douglas went to see her and repaid his moral obligations. He appreciated what she'd started, but he couldn't

help feeling that if she’d never

taken pen in hand, he’d not have written the book. That would have been okay, too, because, as Mr. Douglas observes, he is a very lazy guy. He has gone to great lengths to get his historical detail accurate, account of his loyal correspondents. They're always picking flaws in his works and sending him carping letters. “The worst one, I guess was ‘Green Light',” he said. Throughout that book I'd written of the heroine’s eyes as brown, but somehow when I got to the final scene,

the great moment, her eyes were blue. I felt embarrassed. So did my publishers. By now I'd re-

ceived "more than 2000 letters of

complaint from readers. I was forced to sit down and compose a form letter. I made it a pretty stern one, too. I said, “You doubtless never observed that when a woman is under great stress, her eyes change color.”

How He Wrote “Obsession”

During his three decades as a minister, he always felt that his audiences were limited by the walls of his church. Most of his parishfoners felt, also, that they knew nearly as much about the Bible as he did. There he was one ‘day working on a book of essays, designed to apply the Biblical rules to everyday life. He suddenly thought that maybe if he combined the essays into a novel, sort of, they’d be more interesting. The result was “Magnificent Obsession.” It was an immediate hit, though some of the critics frowned upon its literary quality. Mr. Douglas ignored them and in six succeeding novels continued his combining of Biblical lore, adventure and love in about equal parts. He feels that as a novelist he reaches a far greater audience than as preacher. That is a satisfaction. As for finances, he never has to worry. He is, in fact, one of the most prosperous residents of «Bel Air, which is the most: prosperous suburbs of Hollywood.

‘2 Small Ships Strafed

Royal Australian air force Hudson bombers bombed and strafed two small Japanese cargo ships at Saumlaki, a harbor at the southeastern tip of Jamdena island, one of the Tenimbers. Results were not observed. The raid on Japanese supply lines was in the same general area as those reported yesterday by Gen. MacArthur, in which three cargo ships were attacked in the Tenim- | ber and Kai island groups. In the land combat zone south of Efolgi, which is only 44 miles by air from Port Moresby, allied planes swept over the enemy lines in lowlevel raids. A general lack of Japanese aerial support again was reported and observers were puzzled by the enemy’s failure to make greater use of his interceptor planes. Similar aerial sorties over the enemy lines a few months ago would have raised swarms of zeroes.
