"We are sending about 100 cleurettes & week to every
soldier whose name is handed fn," said the manager.
Displaying
Four important films are to be produced this summer for world-distribution, and Mr. Rose says his company will not stint money in pursuit of the best possible results.
One rather disconcerting feature in Paramount's new plans is that Charles Laughton, much publicised some time ago as the prospective wonderful butler, will not now be in the screen version of Barrie's "The Admirable Crichton."
The Wounded
GERMAN soldiers who were severely wounded in the Polish war, many of them with one arm or one leg, were sent out in the streets to help in the weekly Party collections.
As the German public is getting more and more resentful of these frequent collections, "new attractions" are offered by the Nazia every week.
Instead, Cary Grant, who wants very much to play the part, will have it if his other commitments allow. Madeleine Carroll will probably be in this.

The big money-carners of the screen for the past two years have been the free-lances. Claudette Colbert earned £75,000 last year.

But the day war broke out the anlaries of the big free-lances were cut in halt. Where they earned £30,000 for one film, their price is now £10,000 at the outside,
