MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY FROM THE MOTION PICTURE
On a cold, sleety night'in 1787, the Royal George Tavern is
he scene of wild excitement, for Fletcher Christian, first mate
of the ship ‘Bounty’, has burst into the place with some of
his men, He is rounding up six seamen for a voyage to the
South Seas and under the English sea-laws he is allowed to
take what crew he needs.
; o freedom but they are outnumbered by the others.
SYNOPSIS: Xay, Bentley, spoiled
and beautiful, is on a yachting trip
with her father, G. P. Bentley. She is
bored by the attentions of Gene Piper,
who has been encouraged in his suit by
Doctor Stafford, the family advisor
Stafford desires her marriage to Gene
(favored by Grandmother Gage, matri-
arch of the family) for reasons of her
own, But at the Isle of Naxos, Greece,
Kay meets Terry O'Neill, an archaeo-
weal
& jlosist at his expressed dislike for the
y classes, she tells him she is
Bentley’s secretary.
There is a brief, romantic interlude,
terminated by Grove the butler, who
rushes to her with the news that they
are hurrying back to New York.
GALATEA UNVEILED
fis i Chapter Two
Terry, with Betty Collins, stood
against the wall of a small lecture
room in the Metropolitan museum.
His eyes were still dark and heavy
with the wound of the morning's dis-
illusionment for he had gone rushing
impetuously to New York to declare
his love to Kay, only to discover, at
the Gage and Bentley offices, the de-
ception she had practiced upon him.
‘Bentley, one of the Trustees of the
Museum, was unveiling the statue and
elaborately describing the weeks and
months of unremitting toil the discov-
ery had entailed.
“I suppose he’s got blisters all over
his hands from digging,” Betty mut-
tered bitterly.
Terry was wryly amused, When the
speech was over, he winked at Betty,
then blandly began discussing some of
“the more esoteric phases of archaeo-
logy with Bentley.
Bentley was puzzled. “As a matter of
fact,” he said in a loud whisper, “I
don’t know what you're talking about.
I married this job. One statue’s' just
like another to me.’
“That’s what I thought,” Terry said
precisely,
Bentley laughed with loud good hu-
mor. “And I thought that’s what you
thought.”
This little joke, in Bentley’s mind,
immediately established a bond be-
tween them. Nothing would do but that
Terry come along to his home for
cocktails and at Betty's urgent nod
Terry reluctantly consented.

when Kay appeared on the threshold.

“Kay,” Bentley beamed, “I want you
to meet a very important young man.
Mr. O’Neill. Discovered a statute at
Naxos . . .” His smile was benevolent
as he urged Kay to take Terry into the
party and introduce him to the guests.
Kay merely nodded, trancelike, and
in complete silence escorted Terry into
the living room where a number of
babbling guests were making their de-
partures. In a toneless voice, she intro-
duced him to everyone, while inwardly
she writhed at what she considered his
patronizing air toward the inconse-
quential talk that filled the room.
The place was finally emptying it-
self of guests. Terry lounged against
the piano, watching them leave, still
wearing the look of queer wonder on
his face.
With a meaning glance at his watch
Gene Piper turned to him. “It cer-
tainly is late. Coming my way O’-
Neill?”
“No, thank you.” )
Gene opened his lips closed them and
hurried out to Kay in the entrance
“A very strange individual,
that.” he complained, then smiled mys-
teriously. “Going to Connecticut to-
night . . . bearding Grandma in her
den.” He took Kay's hand. “And sup-
pose she says it’s all right with her
any time now?’ he asked tensely.
“What about you?”
Her grin was vague. “When Grand-
ma says something is all right with
her that aftomatically makes it a con-
stitutional amendment.”
Gene relaxed. with a small whoop.
“That's all“I want to know.” And he
dashed for the door.
Kay returned to the living room on
lagging feet, to find Terry staring into
the fireplace.
Her voice was thin drawn wire, “Are
you staying on?”
“I'm going back on the boat day
after tomorrow.” Quite suddenly he
turned around and grasped her should-
ers fiercely. “Why did you lie to me in
Naxos?’ he demanded with blazing
eyes. waivon
She pulled away, then shrugged de-
fensively. “Oh, I don’t know. aybe
because I was lonely and there was a
terrific moon , , ” Her heart was heavy
with an undefined miserable ache.
Then her voice became harshly defiant.
“Well, you got what you expected,
didn’t you? That fits right in with
what you think of all of us doesn’t it?

“Yes, it does,” he replied dully. Un-
joxpectadly, he was towering over her.
“Sit down!” She was forcefully plopped
into a chair. “I came all the way from
Greece. to see you. Frankly, you're not
worth walking from here to the cor-
ner for. You know,” he said thought-
fully, “you're probably not an unusual
type at all. I just saw a whole room-
ful. Thoughtless, spoiled, worthless
people, thinking only of themselves.
Well,” he moved away abruptly, “I'm
{not mad. I'm very thankful it hap-
(pened this way and this quickly.”
When he had left, Kay sat, shrunk
into her chair, quivering from the
whiplash of his words. /
The auditorium at the Museum was
in semi-darkness as Key stepped into
it the next afternoon.
She listened to Terry, slightly awed,
as he wound up his lecture on Athen-
ian Art in the fourth century.
It was not until the last member of
the audience had left that he turned
to her coldly. “Well?
She looked away, unnerved by his
icy manner, “Even ‘worthless people
turn dull enough to apologize some-
times. I've come to say I'm sorry.”
Then she burst out passionately, “For
the way I've acted, for the way I've
talked, for the way I am. That's all.
So long, Terry.” She flew through the
door. 4 !
Terry was gazing at the Galatea
morosely, when he turned and saw
that Kay was back, her face working
with embarrassment. “I . , . I'm locked
in, I can’t find my way out.”
Follow me,” he said expressionlessly.
“They leave a side door open.”
“You love me Kay,” Terry said quiet-
ly, grasping her shoulders.
She averted her eyes then faced him
squarely. “Terry, we're different breeds
you and I. Wie haven't anything in
common, In Naxos everything seemed
just right, but when I got back to
New York, Naxos seemed wrong and
. and that's the way it would al-
ways be.” 2
Have you quite finished?”
She stared at him, then, with a low
sob, flung herself into his embrace.
When he had kissed her soundly, he
said, with tenderness, ‘I haven't fooled
you much either have I? About not
loving you, I mean. Let's get married
right away.”
No?

She hurried after him, only to be
brought up short in a small ante-room.
“Why not? Is it Gene Piper?” His
eyes darkened with jealously. “Do you
love him?”
“No.”
“But you love me, don’t you?”
Her answer was to lift her lips to
him with shameless eagerness, her
arms entwined about his neck.
The Opera Ball was in full swing, the
House crowded to the roof with dow-
agers, diamonds and debutantes.
Kay's party numbered six—herself,
and Gene, Doctor Stafford and Bentley
and Betty and Terry, the latter res-
plendent in a suit of tails that appear
ed to have been woven on him. 3
Kay was about to enter her box
when Gene placed a detaining hand on
her arm. “Look here Kay, we're prob-
ably the world’s most frigid engaged
couple.” As her eyes went cold, he
shifted on his feet uneasily. “That is,
well, after all . . . your grandmother’s
set the engagement announcement for
Christmas . . . ”
Kay sighed. “Awfully white of vou
and Granny to let me in on it.” Her
voice rose a little. “You know it’s been
a growing source of wonder to me . . .
this assumption of yours that when-
ever we hagpen to be around the City
Hall, you can drop in and marry me.”
Gene jammed his hands into his
pockets, “And I suppose it’s that yard-
stick with no hips and baggy pants,”
he said sullenly.
(Her smile was sweet. “If you mean
the good-looking man with the non-
breaking trousers and the
lapels you may be right.”
He was in a gale of fury. “Well, sup-
pose you take those correct lapels and
open the ball with them.”
. Her mouth rounded into surprised
pleasure. “Gene, you've had your idea
for the week.”
The first dance was over and Kay,
still flushed and rosy from the roman-
tic waltz with Terry, hastened to a
small ante-room, in response to a sum-
mons from Doctor Stafford.
He addressed her without prelimin-
ary as soon as she appeared. “Kay,
your father is in very serious financial
trouble. It has nothing to do with Gage
and Bentley. It’s purely a matter of
private speculation, $400,000 worth to
be exact. You understand that he can’t
borrow it openly and you also must
realize what the attitude of your
grandmother would be.”
She nodded, listening attentively.
“Isn’t there anything we can do about
it?”
The Doctor spread his hands help-
lessly. “I could think of only one way
out . . . your contemplated marriage to
Gene Piper. Some of the money from
the marriage settlement could save
him.”
“We can still do it,” Kay took him
up quickly. “I'll go to Grandma. I'll tell
her about Terry ..,.”
Stafford cleared his throat. “Terrence

The impact of his words smote her
between the eyes. Of course Grande
mother Gage would never accept &
penniless nobody like Terry. Her skin
grew waxen and her mouth was &
‘scarlet stain across her face. i
“What did my father think of the
idea?” she asked, through stiffened
lips.
“He knew nothing of it until a few
minutes ago.”
“And now what does he think?”
Stafford stared past her. “What do
you think he thinks?” He felt a cons
science stricken pang. If Bentley knew
what he was doing, their lifelong
friendship would be severed forever,
Kay held her head high, her body
rigid. “I guess Grandma won't have to
worry about having an O’Neill in the
family,” she said in a dead voice.
(Because of her father, Kay will
have to give up the man she loves.
But will Terry be disposed of this
easily? How can Kay both save
