I snatched up my coat and followed Jeff past Crowley to the elevator. It was only a few minutes until Osuga, a Japanese boy I had seen occasionally at the theater, jushered us into the library of | Clinton Bowers’ penthouse apart- }ment and in his soft lilting voice explained that Mr. Bowers was lbusy with a young man and {would we waif, please. ) The whole living room had jbeen designed for comfort My lsurvey was ini ted by a2 j whistle from Jeff who had dis- covered a d only beautifully bound copies of the plays Bowers had done—and that list stopped short when Bow- ’ association with Eve Worth began. ‘Te be continued N.
