jQuery("#extra_text").html("Because there are eight different scripts in this auction, and because we have multiple images from each (39 images in all), they are too many to \r\ndisplay on this  auction page, due to a space limitation of our auction host.  Therefore, only <b>SOME<\/b> of the 39 images are displayed here on this auction. <B>However, there is a \"supersize\" link to the right of those images that lets you see \r\nall of them.  PLEASE CLICK ON IT AND VIEW ALL THE IMAGES IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS GREAT SET OF SCRIPTS!<\/B>\r\n<p>Exactly what are the eight scripts offered in this lot?  As noted above, John Huston tried to bring this to the screen over a 20+ year period.  During that time, Paul Kohner was his agent (see below), and as each project failed to materialize, scripts for each version were sent to Kohner's office.  <b>We are offering here eight different scripts that cover a period of from the mid to late 1950s (because the first script is undated) through 1974, and several of these scripts are from earlier proposed versions of this movie, that long predate the Connery\/Caine version (see above).  \r\n<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p>  <b>Here is a description in chronological order:<\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b>The first script<\/b> is undated and is marked \"First Draft Screenplay by Aeneas MacKenzie and it has 138 pages (someone wrote \"1st (earliest MacKenzie version)\" on the cover of the screenplay, and it would therefore likely date from between 1952 and 1957).  It has 7 pages of handwritten notes on lined paper loose in the back of the script that say \"MacKenzie\" on the first page and likely are notes written by him about the source Kipling novel, because it references pages in the story. \r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>  <b>The second script<\/b> is also credited to MacKenzie, and appears to be dated 3\/15\/59 at the bottom.  It has 121 pages. <\/li>\r\n<li> <b>The third script<\/b> is the \"third draft screenplay\" and is not credited, but someone wrote \"Aeneas MacKenzie\" on the title page, and also \"go to Steve\", who would be Steve Grimes, who Huston had hired, on the first page of dialog, and it is dated 5\/2\/60, and it has many revisions on several pages written in more than one colored pen (likely by Steve Grimes), and it has 157 pages. \r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>  <b>The fourth script<\/b> is the \"revised first draft screenplay\" and it is not credited, but it has \"Steve\" written on the first interior page, so it seems surely to be by Steve Grimes, and it has 158 pages, but it appears that Mr. Grimes has shortened the script from the previous version, because he crossed out the page numbers on the last few pages, so now it reads 123, and there are many revisions handwritten throughout the script. \r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>  <b>The fifth script<\/b> is a partial revised first draft from March 9, 1964 by Anthony Veiller.  It only consists of the first 64 pages, so it is either incomplete, or it is possible that at this time, Mr. Veiller only revised this portion of the script to see what the reaction was before continuing. \r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>  <b>The sixth script<\/b> is by John Huston and Gladys Hill, and is from 10\/18\/73 and has 125 pages.  It has some revisions, some in a black pen and some in a blue pen scattered throughout. \r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>  <b>The seventh script<\/b> is undated, and is by John Huston and Gladys Hill.  It has printed covers from the \"John Huston-John Foreman Production Company\" and has 129 pages. \r\n<\/li>\r\n<li>  <b>The eighth script<\/b> is the \"second version\" from July 5, 1974, and it is by John Huston and Gladys Hill.  It has yellow revision pages from July 5 and July 13, so obviously, the cover was reprinted after the July 5 revisions, but they did not print it yet again after the July 13 revisions. \r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>  <b>Note that these are scripts for a screenplay that was sent to agent Paul Kohner (see below), and they are 100% certainly original scripts that were created at the time we indicate above, and they are NOT any sort of copy or later creation.  The person who purchases these scripts is solely purchasing the scripts, and NOT any right to reproduce them in any way, or publish them.<\/b>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>These scripts come from the estate of Paul Kohner, who had a remarkable life! Kohner was born in Czechoslovakia in 1902, and he was a journalist working at his father's newspaper. He came to Hollywood after interviewing Carl Laemmle, who gave him a job as a publicity man. He became the head of Universal's European department in Berlin, and returned to the U.S. in the early 1930s, and left Universal in 1938, becoming a publicity agent. Among his clients were some of the greatest film stars ever, including Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, and also great directors such as John Huston and Billy Wilder. He had close personal friendships with many of his clients, and he saved every bit of correspondence and paper work from his agency! He was married to actress Lupita Tovar from 1932 until his death in 1988. Amazingly, after his death, few institutions showed interest in his immense files, and only a small amount ended up being saved, with a lot literally thrown away! Our consignor purchased the item offered here from Mr. Kohner's estate in 1989, and he has held it until now, when he has consigned several items from Mr. Kohner's estate to eMoviePoster.com, and each item is being auctioned separately.<\/p>");
