"My Illness
Was A Godsend”
-JESSIE MATTHEWS
By A Correspondent
LAMOROUS Jessie Matthews, back at work in the studios after a serious illness that lasted nearly four months, thought only a week or two ago that her screen career was ended.
Actors, and actresses, technicians, cameramen and carpenters had enthusiastically welcomed her back to the set at Shepherd's Bush Studios, where, writes a London representative, I saw her at work.
"One consoling thought," she told me, “is that my nervous breakdown has been, in one peculiar way, a godsend. It has done ma a power of good.
MR. ANTHONY EDEN.
I feel terribly calm at all times without losing any "He was not the best dressed boy.”, of my naturally high spirits.
"I think it would do wonders to lots of actors and actresses to have a nervous brenkdown it the aftermath affected them as it has me.
"Yet only a week or two ngo i thought my career as an actress was over. It nearly broke my heart to think that I would never see a Alm studio again.
HOLIDAY IN THE SUN
"It is renily within the last fort- night that I felt all iny courage returning I took plenty of exercise and
spent the time gambolling about." Jessie is only gotng back to Work
for a few days in order to finish the film, “Head Over Heels." After that she is going away for a couple of months in the sun, "My husband, Sonnle Hale, and I prepose going on a trip to Rio de Janetro," she said. "We may hop off of different places on, the route, but I intend to make it the hollday of my life."

She talked to me today, writes a London newspaper representative, of the world-famous politician who to her is still "my boy."
"Like myself, Anthony hates war. We have cause to hate it. I lost two of my four sons in the last war. "The eldest, John, was killed in Flanders in October, 1914. My youngster son, Nicholas, who was only 10 at the time, went down in the battle of Jutland,

From her cabin she said: "I'm feeling very well-and here I am again, because I never say die."
While she spoke, however, the Federal High Court was dismissing an application for writ of babeas corpus to decide whether it could ret aside the decision of the Minister of the Interior, Mr. T. Paterson, refusing Mrs. Freer permission to land.
REFUSED TEST
It was stated in court that Mrs. Freer when given a dictation test in Kalian at Fremantle put her Index fingers in her cars. Failure to pass the test meant she could be refused entry to Australia,
Mr. Justice Evalt ruled that failure to hear the test meant fallure to pass it. The court was not authorised to Inquire whether a person was ย proper person to land in Austraila. It had no authority to set aside the decision of a Minister, even if his
ruling were wrong.
The refusal of the application did not endorse or confirm any decision by the executive.

Two cars pulled up out- side a West End restaurant. Out of the first jumped bride and bridegroom, out of the second Mr. Smiley's bro- ther and sister-in-law, Sir Hugh and Lady Smiley.
All four were happy and smil- ing. They had a celebration party.
Sir Hugh Smiley said:
"My brollier and Lady Cecilia Wellesley were married quietly at St. wife and I and a few other members Margaret's at 5.30 this afternoon. My of the family were the only people there.

How
'Single' Whiskies
get married
"Here in Scotland,"
said Johnnie Walker, "we don't marry the 'single' or separate whiskica until they have matured for long years in the
wood and are old enough to be blended as Johnnie Walker., The Blender then has large number of fully matured whiskies at his disposal, and from these
be achieves that blend of perfect harmony which is Johnnie Walker.
"Every time you drink Johnnie Walker you realise how happy the marriage has been, and so you will always ask for Johnnie Walker by name."
