1942ref. 130516Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1942. First Draft Continuity for the 1942 film. This is a pre-production continuity not to be confused with a post-production continuity. The "other woman" in this early 1940s Twentieth Century-Fox programmer turns out to be Emily Virginia Gilmore faithful secretary to master architect Henry Summers James Ellison. Hoping to trap her boss into marriage Emily begins sending "mash notes" to Henry purportedly from a mysterious female admirer. She then coerces her old pal Ralph Dan Duryea to pose as her jealous Southern-fried boy friend of the nonexistent letter-writer. Poor Henry convinced that Ralph is the gangster who's been threatening him with bodily harm takes off for parts unknown. Our heroine spends the rest of the picture chasing Henry until he finally catches her Hal Erickson Rovi. From the AFI Catalog: "The working title of this film was 'Leap Year' also the title of Lamar Trotti's original story. According to a September 4 1941 memo in the Twentieth Century-Fox Records of the Legal Department located at the UCLA Arts Special Collections Library Trotti wrote the story "sometime ago" and sold it to the studio for one dollar when producer Walter Morosco decided to make it as a "low budget picture." Although the legal records indicate that Jerry Sackheim worked on a screenplay for the picture the extent of his contribution to the completed film has not been determined.

Magazine. nice clean copy externally fine but with small rectangular pieces cut out at the top and bottom corners of pp. 23/24 impacting the two film-related articles see Notes but none of the other content. pen & ink drawings B&W photographs The rare debut issue of this important sci-fi/fantasy-oriented fanzine which represented the editor's return to the publishing field after an earlier publication "CriFanAc" had crashed and burned in the late 1950s after the publication of a half-dozen issues. Some of this background a lot having to do with the early travails and infighting that plagued the Dallas Futurian Society of which editor Reamy was a co-founder is covered in his opening editorial screed which includes numerous references to various personalities who are no doubt long-gone-and-forgotten. "Trumpet" itself lasted for ten issues and was nominated a couple of times for a Hugo Award as Best Fanzine; Reamy himself died in 1977 at the age of 42. This issue is conspicuously fiction-heavy containing the following short stories: "The Altruist" by Charles Portis a Korean War tale which I believe is uncollected; at least it doesn't appear in the 2013 anthology of his work "Escape Velocity"; "The Cosmic Dancers" by James Twiggs; "The Demolished Fan" by Richard Koogle; "The Sisters" by Leonora Carrington a reprint of a 1945 story; and "The Traveling Salesman and the Farmer's Daughter" by Arthur Norman. Also in this issue: "I'm Not Afraid" an article by Marion Zimmer Bradley; a portfolio of Christmas card designs by Hannes Bok; "Existential Da-da Pop Art Funnies" several comic-strip features by Gilbert Shelton; two film-related pieces "Somebody Out There Likes Us!" by Al Jackson a survey of 50s and early 60s science fiction films and a reassessment of the 1954 giant-ant classic THEM! by Reamy both these articles are incomplete due to the corner-clipping of pp.23/24; "Le Sacre du Printemps" a portfolio four pen-and-ink drawings of a crone-like woman in various guises by Reamy; additional retro film reviews by Reamy of ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES 1959 HAND OF DEATH 1962 and THE CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF 1961.
