grooming by Samuel Goldwyn Exclusives
is a matter of cinema history. She is said to have cost him £300,000 in all during her long period of lingual education and Inept production,
After that she came to England and had no better fortune in "A Woman Alone." It almost ap- peared that her original talent had been completely groomed out of her.
Yet her talent was unquestion- able. In her earlier German pic- tures she had proved herself to be one of the outstanding figures in the film world.. Therefore her eclipse was unaccountable.
Now, it is learned that Litvak has been making tests of Anha Sten for the leading part in a contemplated picture to be called "The Confessions of a Nazi spy." One does not know if the pro- posal is to cast Miss Sten for the role of spy or even of what "sex the spy will be.
Anyhow one may express a hope that, this actress, who is both beautiful and dramatic, will have a worthy chance although one fears that the theme may lend itself to conventional melodrama and so make realist acting almost Impossible.
WILD ANIMAL SCARES LEPER SETTLEMENT
Is it a tiger or a black pan- ther which is prowling near the Sungei Buloh Leper Settlement in the FMS.. and keeping the 2,000 inhabitants of that mail township inside their homes at oight?
Two young Englishmen have attempted to discover the iden- tity of the animal, whose full- throated roars have been heard. They have already spent many: nights perched on a platform they built in a tree in the Jungle Just behind the settlement. Under them was balt-first a goat, then a dog. But the animal has denied them- and mosquitoes have fed from them.
One young man, however, spent his Easter holiday perched in that tree, with two other companions, Indians well-versed in the art of big game hunting."
10
The other yanng man says, "I'm giving the animal a rest for a few days; I'm going salling."
•
Coolies working around the Bet- tlement declared they had seen pug marks, One or two swore they saw a tiger.
Miss A. C. E. Myers, Matron of the Settlement, has heard roars a short distance from the back door of her home in the Settlement.
Whatever animal it is,” said one or the hunters, it has made no kili yet. We do not know what it is after whether it is just prowling about or waiting for a kill”
There have been rumours about that Gary Cooper might possibly appear ander another producer than Mr. Samuel Goldwyn.
