Fronch Spy Drama
BLONDE SWISS GIRL
CROSSES BORDER
Geneva, Dec. 18.
Protty, blondo Lydia Oswald, the Swiss girl who was released only yesterday after acrving a sentence in France on a charge of espionage, leaned back contentedly in her chair at a restaurant here to-day as she told of her joy at regaining her liberty.
Her first thought when she arrived after a wearisome journey across France-was to visit a hairdresesr's.
When she left the shop halfan (Zurich: I have 'made certain plans," hour later, the tracea of her im-but for the present I cannot reveal prisonment at Brest and her sleep, then to anyone.”, less night in the train had almost disappeared.

Friction between Miss West and Ernst Lubitsch, production head of Paramount, ended in his, turning "Klondyke Lou" over to an assistant producer.
The trouble began when her cameraman was given to Bing Crosby. She complained that the substitute did not understand how. she should be photographed and lighted. Another cameraman was allotted to her, but he had worked only one day when the assistant to her first cameraman was called in and given the job.
Differences about the treatment of the story then arose. Miss West fell behind with the script, and worked-on-it-it-is-anid, h-time that should have been devoted to "shooting." The studio notified her that, if she did not work on it at home and keep ahend of produc- tion, another writer would be ng--

Several dectors, some of whom

were at first sceptical, say they
have seen the vision. One medical man declared he saw Christ open and close His mouth land His face become distorted.
He added that he watched the transformations through binocu- lare, from different parts of the church.
Another complaint by the studio was that the production was 23 days late. Her pictures are generally behind schedule,, “Klondyke Lou" was to have cost-£150,000. Owing. to delays and Miss West's success- ful demand for double salary be- cause the company was not ready to begin work at the stipulated time, the cost will be £200,000.
For the making of this picture Miss West is being paid £2,000 a week. Should she do another ple- ture this will be reduced to £1,000 a week, but she is now being offered by her agent to other companies, and it is considered probable that she and Paramount will part.
