Revenge--see what I mean? He fights with the heavy on the cliff, after showing him the little sister's picture, and pushes him over to death on the rocks below--get it? And the lead doesn't have to kill him.
How about that ?" Henshaw regarded his companion with pleasant anticipation. The Governor again debated before he spoke.
He still doubted.
"Say, whose show is this, the lead's or the sailor's that had the wronged sister? You'd have to show the sailor and his sister, and show her being wronged by the heavy--that'd take a big cabaret set, at least--and you'd have to let the sailor begin his stuff on the yacht, and then by the time he'd kept it up a bit after the wreck had pulled off the fight, where would your lead be? Can you see Parmalee playing second to this sailor? Why, the sailor'd run away with the piece.
And that cabaret set would cost money when we don't need it--just keep those things in mind a little." "Well," Henshaw submitted gracefully, "anyway, I think my suggestion of Island Love is better than Island Passion--kind of sounds more attractive, don't you think ?" The Governor lighted a cigarette.
