SEE-SAW, MARGERY DAW

1 Miss Margery Daw’s home in Thibet. Her boudoir. With inimitable nonchalance she lights a cigarette. She turns pale. She dies. She disappears from history.

2 Interior of See-saw factory in Honolulu. Visitor sees see-saws. He sees saws. He sees saucy girls. He sees sore hands. A class is being instructed on the distribution of weight. He waits and sees.

3 Jenny at work with the weight and see-saw. The foreman arrives and recriminates. Jenny responds in kind, unkindly. Foreman retires hurt.

Jenny in the slave market.

4 Slave market at Jamaica. Jenny on sale, labelled “Slow.” Wealthy Turk is successfully sold, and buys her, being partial to sloe jin. Together they execute a Turkish trot. (Inset, a Turkish execution.)

5 Jenny in her new master’s harem. (Censored.)

6 Jennina out walking, clothed in voluminous tarboosh. Her glad eye. She is faster than was thought. Her master catches her eye, intended for a Young Turk, and throws it back.

7 Night. Darkness. Exterior of Harem. A sack descends, falling into river with long, dull, lingering splash.
