The next twenty four hours, not much change in temperature. A slight atmospheric disturbance of undetermined origin is reported over Nova Scotia, causing a low pressure area to move down rather rapidly over the northeastern states, bringing a forecast of rain, accompanied by wind of light gale force. Maximum temperature 66, minimum forty-eight. This weather report comes to you from the Government Weather Bureau. We now take you back to entertainment reporter Dave Abbott, as he speaks live with renowned actor, star of the Silver Screen, and lead in the upcoming motion picture, over the barrel, Roscoe Harris.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Dave Abbott speaking to you from Well I suppose Do you mind terribly if I No, no. That's all right. Thank you. I'm speaking to you from Marco's gym, here in downtown Arkham. I'm standing in the large ring area, or just outside it, speaking with none other than the infamous Roscoe Harris. How are you doing this afternoon, Roscoe?
Oh, I'm all right.
I'm just fine, thank you. Yes. We've been invited to join you in one of your many recent expeditions into the real world of what you actors uh do to uncover a role. Is that fair to say, Mr.
How does Dave Abbott introduce Roscoe Harris and set up the interview?
Harris?
Well, I wouldn't call it expedition necessarily, but.
Why, yes, that's
fair. That's fact. But no, no. Not all actors are the prim improper unscuffed gems the papers make us out to be. I wanted to invite you down here to see for yourself what some actors do to Get into a roll?

Please.
Mr Roscoe Harris, who of course we know from his many pictures, including Sweethee on the Bounty and last year's well received picture, Honey I Do, is standing before me Well, in what I can only describe is a uniform fit for a boxing ring.
Yes, these trunks are mine.
Ah, yes, and Well tell us, Mr Harris, what does it take to get into the role?
Well, for the past six months I've been training here at Marco's gym with mister Brown himself. to get into the fighting mindset. I don't just want those watching the picture to see an actor. I want them to see a fighter. After all, this isn't just my story.
No, I'd say it isn't.
Why, just this morning before you came. I was ten rounds with Alex over there.
Ten rounds?
That's quite the feat. Well, yes, as you can
see I'm I'm quite the mess. Sweating bullets, I'd say. Mr Harris, what do you say to the newspapers who have claimed this role is too tough for you, too brutish for your historically romantic film past.
Well to them I say not. If you doubt my commitment, And you know where to find me. Ha! I say they do. Marco's gym. Though I won't be here the rest of the week.
No, I should say you won't. Given we've revealed your previously unnamed boxing gym, well I'd say you're liable to get swarmed by adoring fans any moment now.
Yes. And with that I suppose I should go and freshen up.
Yes. hit the showers, as they say. Well, thank you, Mr. Harris. It's been a pleasure.
The pleasure has been all mine.
And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the one and only star of the silver screen, Mr Roscoe Harris, a real man's man. Back to you in the studio, Neil. Thank you, Mr. Harris. That was a real treat.
Yes, well you all take care of yourselves. Thank you for coming down here.
A pleasure.
I am afraid I was being earnest about the shower, though.
Yes, yes. You enjoy the rest of your day.
You too. Ten rounds, ten rounds, idiot. No one is going to believe you went ten rounds. I should have done the fucking road picture with Debbie. It's your own damn ego, Harris.

I knew it, Arthur. Roscoe Harris, the movie star. I've
seen him in pictures. He goes to the gym here. I'm sorry I don't have a pen. No, it's okay. My uh Friend is a fan. Home. Uh n no no offense. None taken. Arthur, you idiot. Finish shaving and talk to him. About what?
Why does Roscoe talk about his intensive boxing training for the role?
Do you not recall what we've learned since coming here? The owner is away. Gone for who knows how long. Seemingly unrelated to Johnny, but that means our best shot at finding anything about mister Fleming is to ask around.
