...some 4,000 grimly serious actors, not yet informed of the agreement, swarmed to Hollywood's barnlike American Legion Stadium with minds made up about how to mark the strike ballots they were handed at the door.

Since formal contracts had yet to be signed, and other producers, notably Warner Brothers, had yet to be brought to terms, a strike vote was taken. Bandy-legged Boris Karloff hustled around with a ballot box which he somehow managed to make suggest an infernal machine...

And, you remember the story, Alpheus was so attracted by her beauty that he embraced his cool waters about her and would have captured her, had it not been for Diana who heard Arethusa's cries and to save her caused a subterranean passage to be formed and the lovely maid to emerge as a Spring...
