...voice is seldom raised, his temper never lost." Thus TIME word-pictured Packard's Macauley (TIME, Nov. 4). During the summer of 1917 I bell-boyed on the S.S. Noronic which the Packard Motor Co. chartered for a three-day convention cruise. At the end of the cruise and just before unloading passengers at Detroit I stalked Mr. Macauley's Parlor A for his luggage-allowing many "sure things" to pass by in order to capture the big game.

He was a psychopathic drunkard called Marsden (Earle Larimore). He did not keep mice in his bedroom but he killed bugs when a boy. He, too, terrified the inhabitants of a gloomy Manhattan mansion. Marsden had been abused by an equally liquorish father when a child, which accounted for the fiendish campaign he put on to terrify his wife (Barbara Robbins) into giving him a son of his own to torture. Since Marsden makes no effort...
