DISPUTE OVER CHILDREN'S PUZZLE

"THE CITADEL"

(Continued from Page 3)

Miss Allan caused some amusement When she described a producer 18 the person who supervises the direc- tor of a film.” Mr. Saville was producer..

If an actress dropped out of a part after being engaged to play it, she said, a doubt would be created in producers' minds as to her ability. It would have made a great difference to her professionally if she had play- ed Christine.

Pro-

Mr. Birkett, cross-examining: ducers are all perfectly familiar with the fact that people are aometimes considered for a part and then drop- ped, or changed? That is merely when they are considered, not de- finitely engaged.

· Miss Allan said she did not con- sider that her resignation from a role In "The Squeaker". injured her.

JOAN CRAWFORD SUGGESTED Had the lady with whom you were lunching, when Mr. Saville had a talk with you, been billed for a part the film "Good News," and subsequent- ly left out of the part?

"Yes, but there was an adéquate reason why she did not play it," plied Mias Allan. "She happened to be making a 'come-back, and, in the -middle of the film, decided she did not want to go on with it. She had not innde a film for five years."

There was all sorts of competition, was there not, for the part of Chris- tine in "The Citadel"?—I only kn- of one.

Was Joan Crawford suggested for it? That was long after I had been dropped.

And there was the lady who play the part-Miss Russell 7-Yes.

Is it not a favourite subject of film fans to suggest who should play par- ticular parts?—Yes.

I suggest you have a great follow- ing who think you should play particular part? I don't know.

a

You have a great public following, have you not? I don't know. I have not made a film for some time. should like to think so.

I

“HARDER TO BE STAR IN U.S.” **You are not in the habit of com- ing into this court on an ordinary day?—No.

"But you have-a-great public fol- lowing," Mr. Birkett observed, gazing round at the crowded court.

Mr. Justice Singleton: If you con- tinue on this line there will be even more to-morrow, Mr. Birkett! -(Laughter.)

The words --"star" .or "stardom" indicato a public performer in the first flight? Yes,

You have been that for some years? -No. I have been under contract 23 featured player except in England, where it is very indefinite what В -star is. It is very much harder to be

a star in America.

But it is preferable to be a star

in England?-I think so, yes.

And you are a star in England?- Omy so far as a very small public is concerned. The public in England is very much smaller than the public in America.

You would concede that your-- re- putation in England is established?— Yes.

Sir Patrick Hastings: Who gets most money?-The star in America.

And that is one of the reasons why it is harder to be a star in America?

Yes.

The hearing was adjourned.
