First Visit.
Naturally the first question we asked, having reached the heaven of the train, was how long were they to stay in London.

And then Mr. Menjou, every bit alert, and as as easy-going, as affable as he appears on the screer. began talking about films, while his wife dispensed tea. That films are the breath of life to him was clear from the first moment and that none of his opinions about them are ready-made equally clear.
"I have wanted to come and make pictures in England for years; long ago I began arguing that films with French settings should be made in France and 5lms with English settings in England, but the nearest we got to it so far was that, with the exception of myself, everyone in "The Ace of Cads' was an Eng. fishmaa."
Patient Reconstruction. In the course of the last century nearly all the old furnishings were removed or collected by curic hunters. Moreover, most of the drawings of the ship as she was at Trafalgar had disappeared. Naval libraries had to be searched to and out details of rigging, sails, equip ment, and fitting. No model of the original Trafagar Fictory exists, and this made matters difficult However, thanks to great patience and tireless energy on the part of men like Mr. Wyllie and Mr. G. E. Suter (the manager of the construc- tive department of the Dockyard) many of the obstacles were over come, and the work of refurbishing continued until the Victory has reached a state of near completion., If genius is the art of taking in faite pains, then genius has been at work ou the Victory for the last seven years.
