Naval, Rupamai and Asar Saheb came that day, also.
Throughout March, April and May 1934, telegrams were being sent back and forth that concerned another possible visit to the West to check progress on the film Baba wished to be made. Norina had cabled Baba from Paris that her first husband, screenwriter Karl Vollmoeller, was willing to work on the script for Baba's film. She also later wrote about her contact with the 40-year-old Hungarian producer Gabriel Pascal (who had made films in Germany with Max Reinhardt) who wished to meet Baba. "After meeting you," Norina cabled, "Pascal will be capable of any sacrifice for realization!" Baba cabled back on 13 (and 19) March:
Tell Karl to write two scenarios, one wholly for me and one for producers, using in both his superb imagination. My coming in April depends if scenario will be definitely ready. Otherwise cannot come. Boats full. Must book passage immediately.
[25 April 1934 letter] Tell Karl that I will personally explain and dictate to him certain important points for this picture ... And also impress on him that this picture will surely create a sensation and [generate] significant interest in the whole world.
It will [have many] marvelous trick scenes and [use] photography and film techniques in revealing certain secrets of nature's working, never known nor shown up till now on the screen, and quite a surprise for the world, too.
For all these I will personally guide him and take his help in producing this picture, which has to be a marvel of art, science, religion and spirituality [to] produce the effect necessary.
This is a splendid chance of having his name linked with mine through this picture, which will surely earn a unique success, as I am personally to guide and instruct every detail of higher spiritual and subtle life, according also to my own personal experience of the Highest Truth and in accordance, also, with my own ideas to put them into material expression through the medium of the science of modern picture production, which will be a feature unique in its nature.
[To Pascal] I will get the wonderful secrets of creation and evolution revealed through trick scenes, which will impress and appeal to scientists all over the world. Secondly, the amazing scenes of higher planes, Illumination and Revelation and Realization will appeal to all spiritual and religious-minded people, while the thrills and sensations that are contained in the five lives reincarnated [scenario, already dictated and sent to Karl] — lives full of love, hate, romance, revenge, etc. — will appeal to the materially-inclined masses in the world.
