I Want
To See "SAFEMILK My Son
-LORD WARWICK
"UNLIKELY" SAYS WIFE
· By PHYLLIS DAVIES
LORD WARWICK: I
want to see my son. LADY WARWICK: It is improbable that he will.
These are extracts from conversations I had with the 27-years-old Earl of Warwick-Michael Brooke, the film actor, in Hollywood --and with his lovely wife.
I spoke by radio telephone to Lord Warwick in the Berengaria and to Lady Warwick at St. Moritz, where she is on a winter sports holiday. Lady Warwick suld she did not wish to discuss her husband or his affairs, adding:
"It is improbable that he and I will incet." WITH HIS GRANDMOTHER
Their four-years-old son, Lord Brooke, is also winter-sporting" at Samaden, Engadine, with his grand- mother, Lady Rosabelle Brand, who Is the Countess of Warwick's mother. Lady Rosabelle Brund said: "My grandson has been excited since he heard his father was coming to meel him. We shall meet at my home at Littledene, near Lewes,
"I am waiting to hear from my son-in-law before I leave with his little son by boat and train for Eng- land."
Lord Warwick, who has not been home
to England since August 1936, laughed at a report that he is dis- appointed with his luck in Hollywood, when I spoke to him from London.
"It's all nonsense that I'm through with flims," he told me curtly, as the ether waves crackled and spurted. "FOUR BIG FILMS"
"I'm as hopeful as ever of making 1ms and Hollywood my career. I have had lots of offers to make pic- tures, and I have, in fact, appeared in | four of live films.

"What does it matter that I sat around in Hollywood waiting for part after being given a Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer contract? Lots of people have waited longer than I for their break, and it come at last.
"Mine will come, you'll see. My court case against M.-G.-M. for salary due under my contract with them is not finished by any means. I have secured another hearing of the case. When that will come up I do not know.
"MY PROPERTY" -
"In addition to seeing my son, there's my property needing attention on this visit. No, I do not know if I shall see Lady Warwick. Anyway. I hear she is abroad.
"I'm only able to spend five days in England. I'm hurrying buck especi- ally to begin a new flm. No, I can- not tell you the company it's for, nor the name of it. My agents are hand- ling that.
There's plenty of room in Holly- wood for me, for I do not think I'm a bad Alm actor, and I love the life out there.
"A LINER CAPTAIN"
"I went out in 1836 under every sort of favourable auspice, and al- though I did nothing for months but wait, I have not lost a bit of optimism. You see I have appeared in Alms latterly, and I'm told I ac- quitted myself favourably.

"What did I do? Oh, I dunno, what do liner captains usually do? "I'M AMBITIOUS"
"I nm ambitious, of course, and I' play any sort of part that comes up. No, I have not the slightest klea how long I'll be away from London again. It depends on my work on the other side.
"And things are going well for me at the moment

View On "Ragging"
"In colleges, Inter-year ragging' promotes a 'year' spirit which is very insting; in fact, the favourite de fence of organised ragging is just that it promotes such a spirit.
This opinion was expressed by Prof. H. Amon, of Roffies College, in an address at the weekly meeting of the Rotary Club of Singapore.
Prot. Amon also defended the "old school tie" ldco.
