MISS HARVEY'S SURPRISE
Going Back To Germany
Miss Lilian Harvey has sprung
a surprise on the film industry. The London girl who won fams in "Congress Dances" is going back to Germany.
She has signed a contract for one picture with the Uía Com- pany, ci Beriln the company which brought her fame.
contract will take Her new effect as soon as the two films are completed which she is making for British International Pictures at Elstree.
Miss Harvey, who is now, work- ing at Elstree, is in many ways. Britain's unhappiest star.
THREE LANGUAGES Miss Harvey dances, sings and makes films in three languages.
But Her career, especially, in America, has been a hard one for her.
When she returned to England recently after cancelling her Hollywood contract, she said: "I have no regrets. I was there two years, and I know that I accom- plished very little. The parts I was given were not suitable and the chiefs would not listen to me.” When Miss Harvey left Ger- many for America two years ago there were tears in her eyes. The *Dresden china star" had been happy there. Now, however, al- though" she is returning, she bas refused to sign a long-term con- tract.

Francis Lederer, the Czechosla- vakian actor, has "walked out" on his new Hollywood, Alm of which Katharine Hepburn is heroine, at the studio of Radio Pictures
After one day's work on "Break" or Hearts," he resigned, after a scene in which, he complained, Miss Hepburn was over-favoured by the camera, He has been re- placed by the. French actor, Char- les Boyer.

Movie News From Hollywood
Mickey Mouse himself will ap pear in the full glory of Techni- colouri
Yes the plans for this have already been completed. Produc-. tion has been under way for some time and the first of the Mickey Mouse hits in Techni- coiuor, The Band Concert." will be presented an avid world early in the new year. In it will be all the favourite playmates of Mickey and Minnie-none of whom has ever been seen here- tofore in anything but the very onventional b'acks and whites of pen and ink. Now Mickey and his pals will be the lustrous ones! Their faces will be natural colour, their clothing" will become gay caparisons, their houses will be of red brick or of blue slate. their dishes will be beautifully coloured china. their eyes will sparkle with life-and Minnie very probably wilt even have tinted Anger-nails!
FULL LENGTH FILMS.
But the reader might well in- quire, what about the full-length feature pictures? Will these, too change · overnight. Into full- coloured reproductions? Will we see Fredric March, Maurice Che- valler, Loretta Young. Anna Sten, Clark Gable and all the others in Technicolour?
The answer of the cautious Hollywood predictor Is that we not only will see them in Techni- colour but as a matter of fact. We have already seen several of them in the new process. There was that magnificent Court scene which marked a spectacular finis
to "The House of Rothschild,"
starring George Arliss, and the gorgeous ice cream fantasy se- quence in the Samuel Goldwyn musical comedy. "Kid Millions." starring Eddie Cantor.
These. one might argue, Are only parts of films: why aren't the entire productions endowed with the art of the colour repro- ducer?
Nor is Hollywood alone in its Irresistible advance toward co- lour.

There is one thing that all are agreed upon, however, and that ia, that Walt Disney deserves the credit for leadership in the colous parade.
And what does Mr. Disney say? He's rather busy, what with this and that and the other thing -but he stops his work long enough to wipe the blue paint. from a paint-brush "across his much-daubed artist's smock to announce...
