SECRET CEREMONY FOR JEANNE DE CASALIS
With the utmost secrecy, Miss Jeanne de Casalis, the actress, and Mr. Colin Clive, who takes the lead- ing part in "Journey's End," were married at the reglater office, Ash. ford, Kent mail week.
Miss de Casalis, who was born in South Africa, the daughter of Dr. Georges Casalis de Pury, studied for the stage in Paris and Moscow, making her first professional ap- pearance at Cannes in 1919. She will be best remembered in London for her performance in "The Yel- low Streak" last year, in which she first met Mr. Clive.
Only a few years ago Mr. Clive was at Sandhurst, but an accident disabled him, preventing him from entering the Army. He joined a repertory company in the north of England and was "discovered" a year ago by Mr. Noel Coward.
In an instruction to the various propaganda departments through- out the country, the Nanking Central Propaganda Office has ruled that all calendars for 1980 must out in my way include the

ROUND THE CINEMAS
SUNDAY'S ATTRACTION AT, THE QUEEN'S
“PUBLICITY`MADNESS'
"Publicity Madness," which will be shown at the Queen's Theatre on Sunday and Monday, is, according to advance reports, something new, different, and entirely intriguing in the way of featured comedies.
Adapted by Andrew Bennison, from the original story by Anità Loos, it is one succession of comic situations which go to make up the romance and business whirl of an enterprising soap salesman. Ed- mund Lowe, who will be remember- ed for his work as Sergeant Quirt in "What Price Glory," has the leading role.
Lois Moran is co-starred with Lowe as the shy little daughter of the old fashioned manufacturer who believes that the business of his forefathers should be run according to the standards set down by them. In this role Miss Moran emerges from a drab little old-fashioned Miss into a beautiful flapper-just to prove to the smart salesman that it can be done.

TALK-FILM STRIKE
MUSICIANS DEMAND ST A DAY
The production of the talking. film of Mr. Edgar Wallace's "The Crimson Circle" was held up by a strike of 26 musicians.
In this film the sound will, be a musical interpretation of the action and the emotions of the actors.
Work on the picture was about to begin when an official of the Musicians' Union arrived at the British Talking Pictures studio at Wembley, Middlesex, and declared that the musicians would not be allowed to work at the salaries offered, which were lower than the union minima of $7 to £9 a day.
An official of British Interna- tional Film Distributers, the com. pany making the picture, told a "Daily Mail" reporter:
If at this stage talking film producers could secure the co-
operation of musicians, there is more likelihood of these men being permanently employed in studiós.
Mr. William Batten, general Secretary of the Musicians' Union, said: "One man who went to the studio was offered. 22 a day, and he is a soloist who is accustomed to drawing 48-8a. a day."
