“QUITE IMPOSSIBLE"
MR. A. KORDA AND GOLDWYN DEAL
"Quite impossible" was Alex- ander Korda's comment on the Hellywood report that Samuel Goldwyn has acquired the holdings of Mary Pick- ford, Douglas Fairbanks and Charles Chaplin, valued-at £400,000 each, in the United Artists Corporation. The constitution
of the COF- poration. Mr. Korda pointed out, requires the consent of all the producer-members before shares can be transferred.
Mr. Korda, as one of the part ners, would have to be consulted: and even then, so complicated.
the corporation's are
articles, many weeks would elapse before such a desi could be completed.
M. Korda added that so far as he knew Mis, Piskford, Mr. Fais, banks and Mr. Chaplin, though disposed to sell some two years ago, had no desire to do so now.
Mr. Korda suggested. that Mr. Goldwyn might have acquired the United Artists Studios and that this might have given rise to the other report.
