We will get first look at Miss Baker this winter when Baby Dult is released,
It is one of those grim, dark dramos (by Tennessee Williams) in which the brilliant Kuzan specialises: the story of 22 girl physically mature but emotionally a child, a baby doll. In Hollywood everybody is saying that this film will make Caroti Baker a star.

GOOD NEWS FOR ANTARCTIC:
'GREEN FOOD' DREAM COMES TRUE
NIR EDMUND HILLARY and his team of New Zealand explorers will cat fresh cross sandwiches from the most southern garden in the world while they are exploring the South Pole regions next year.
The cress will be grown in pots at thoir base in the Antarctic in a double-shell prefabricated glasshouse.
The party will set off for the base in a few weeks' time.
The problem of growing vegetables in the Antarctie has been the chief worry of nutritien experts over the last six months-since Sir Edmund told them that "greenery at the Pole is a
99 percent psychological pick-me-up."
Antarctic explorers have dreamed of sauerkraut, green peas and fresh pineapple to relieve the monotony of a frozen diet.
The experts chose cress for their experiments because it grows quickly and has a strong flavour. They found it would grow in a heated glasshouse in volcanic rock with added nutrients.
The gardening will be in the hands of the gardening enthusiast of the party. He will have 50 plants to tend -enough to produce 50 generous sandwiches a week.
