It is lunete break time during
filming of "The ,Mutiny on the
Bounty" on the SeUth Pacific is-
land of Tahiti, There are 5,000
Polynesian natives in the cast
and Brando and Rafferty have
grown blase about the sunny
sex-appeal of the girls.
But the 'feeling is not mutual.
Silently watching the chessplay-
ers is a black-haired beauty
wearing a half-sarong, a wreath
of flowers and nothing else, Her
eyes are riveted on Brando
She is called Tarita and the
only English words she knows
are the ones Brando teaches her
in the film: "I love you." She is
nineteen, she has lived' all her
life on an island called I3ora-
Bora and she has never seen a
big, city nor heard of Marilyn
Monroe.
She had not heard. of Marlon
Brando eitheartil he invaded
her innocent VOrld with an army
of actors and technicians and
picked her from 1,000 native
'girls as his co-star.
She is ,shy and serious. With
the money she makes from
long-term contract for which she
hae been signed' up by 'Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer, she hopes to
invest in her father's land.
Her other hopes seem to be
centred on Brando but 'the big-
time actor, who is cast as mu-
tineer Fletcher Christian, is
shoulder-shrugging and offhand
"Tahitian girls?" Brando's eye-
brow arc h upwards. "Well,
they're certainly the most grace-
ful. and photogenic I've ever
seen. But they sure have some
strange ways. They'll adore you
for five, six days, then suddenly
disappear — off with someone
else. A week later, maybe,
they'll turn 'up again, completely
unconcerned, without any ex-
planation, expecting to take up
where they left off.
"But theti"a• no doubt about
this island being a sleet of, para-
dise, man," he says. dreamily.
"Maybe thela;st place like it in
the world, It's hard to explain
• it does something to you."
The breathtaking 'beauty of
Tahiti and the easy-going ways
of its women were the cause of
the historic 'Mutiny aboard His
Majesty's Armed vessel "Boun-
ty" in 1789. The same, charms
also, worry the movie makers
some 170 years later . .
The method man is the only
American in the cast. The rest
are British, Australian or na-
tives.: And, th'e charms of Tahiti
are lost on one British actor,
Trevor Howard, who plays the
sadistic Captain Bligh.
"It gets rather monotonous,
really," drawls Howard. "Even
the sunshine and the miles of
golden beaches. After you finish
work there isn't a darned thing
to do."
Howard's wife, who almost al-
ways agrees with him, adds:
"After a 'fortnight here you do
get frightfully bored, you know.
It's just like Cumberland with a
permanent blue sky attached."

was revolting. How people . can ,.
be so inconsiderate towards the
men who have to pick up the
garbage I can't imagine. In many
homes the house is immaculate:
Children are required to remove
their rubbers outside the door.
They must speak properly and
be polite to 'visitors. Clothes and
toys must be taken care of.
Mother has carefully manicured
hands. Her hair is stylish and at-
tractive. Father's suits make fre-
quent trips to the cleaners. It
has, in fact, every appearance of
being a well-conducted home
until it comes to putting out the,
garbage. It the garbage .can won't
hold all the refuse then the sur-
plus- goes out in broken cartons
and paper shopping bags, If dogs
come alongeafid distribute ban-
ana skins and melon rinds all
over the sidewalk that's jUet too
bad. The dal:bake man will pick
it up anyway, Paper of course is
blowing all over the place,
To my way Of thinking a per-
son's character can be measured
by the way in which garbage is
put outside his door. Menial tasks
must be done by some for the
benefit, of others but surely our
self-respect requires that menial
tasks be made as 'inoffensive as
possible. When I pass a house
where the garbage is properly
put out in suitable containers,
and the surplus securely tied,
know that within that house is
a man and woman who has con-
sideration for others. By that
same token I know they .are
worthy of respect, Dogs are
blamed for a lot of the garbage
mess but if proper cans were
used and the lids put on tightly
the dogs would not be so tempted
to investigate.
Well, that's one frustration I
can't do anything about — ex-
cept to air my grievance. And
here's hoping it starts a few peo-
ple thinking.

On Aritial 404ticp
Througghcut the years ter' re
have been many alleged miscar-
lieges of justice. In this Oise
there should not have been a
conviction,
Florence ,lorence Maybeclt was convict-
ed mainly because she had .corn-
Milted adultery — not because
she Was charged with murdering
her husband.
Scientists called as witnesses
at her trial could not agree that
Mr. Maybrick had died. from
arsenical poisoning. And it was
by no means certain that his
wife had administered the poi-
son..
Zven today experts sometimes
have difficulty in stating the
cause of a particular death. in
a number cf cases since the war
forensic experts have been un-
able to agree on what is the fatal
dose of a poison.
It's hardly surprising that they
couldn't agree seventy years ago
in the case of Mrs. IV.Iesebrick,
The. jury do not appear to. have
been interested in the arguments
and quarrels of the scientists.
They apparently were determin-
ed to convict an unlucky woman
who, by standards of modern
justice, should have been neetilt-
teci.
The dead man was a hypo-
chondriac, for years he had been
dosing himself with pills and
potions fcr heelth and other rea-
sons. When such people die We
difficulty to ascertain the cause.
Nevertheless, science put Fla-
rence Maybrick in the dock, Her
trial and sentence is a blot on
British justice, She had all the
bad, luck that could come to any
woman.
The day after her conviction
for murdering her husband, us-.
in„ arsenic; 'The Times'. made
this comment: "It is useless :to
disguise the fact that the public
are not thoroughly convinced of
the prisoner's guilt. It has been
noticed by them that the doctors
differed beyond all • hope of
agreement as to the cause of
death.'
The general public were alarm-
ed, The only people who re-.
Mained. • supremely indifferent
were the .prosecution, .the judge
who tried her, and the Lancashi-
re jury who convicted her. In
the past tarty years we have
hanged two women, not so much
because they were convicted Of
murder, but because they were
guilty of adultery and w* are
still puritanical enough to dis-
like women who are caught in
immorality,
Florence Maybrick was such a
„omen. She had been having en
affair and, because of it, the pre-
judice which surrounded her at
her trial was overwhelming. The
law doesn't take kindly to an
ectirlteress charged with the -mur-
der of her husband.
She was tried at Liverpool in
"Mee 1889,. before Sir James Fitz-
;
tames Stephen, then one of the
ienior High Court judges. In • his
prime he had been 'responsible
for the Indian Penal Code.
But when he sat in judgment
On Mrs. Maybrick he was an old
and sick man, He had had at
least two strokes and his 'handl-
ing of the case was grossly un-
fair to the prisoner.
Mrs. 'Maybrick. was also the
victim of her times; in that at
the period of her trial there was
no Court of Criminal Appeal.

- trial Evidence Act. 1898, she was

Just like this. In the morning
Henry was cleaning out the

somehow hurt his leg. That same
evening he put a pail of cream

and split most cf. the cream.
Later I dropped a Pile Of plates
