Claude Rains, who shares the honours in Paramount's "The Last Outpost" with Cary Grant-the Bristol man-and Gertrude Mic- hael, tells a great story against himself.

He as to act in a play called "They Shall Not Die" and to get. some "atmosphere" he went to see Samuel Leibowitz, one of the most famous attorneys in Ame- rica, and counsel for the defence in the Scottsboro Case.

"Come over into court with me," sald Leibowitz, "and Jee how everything goes."

Mr. Klepura, who is so popular 'in` London, not only through his theatre work, but because of the way his magnificent' voice has gene over in British films, is busy rehearsing the songs for his Holly- wood Screen debut in "Give Us This Night."...

Jan never believed in half mea- sures, and so he thought of a, novel idea to preserve bla voice... which is the “pram.“

This vehicle, which looks like a tea table, and is painted white is filled with a "jamboree" of throat washes, gargles, and nose sprays.

And he uses 'every bit of it to see that his throat is all right before giving full voice, to a song. After singing Jan drinks many glasses of hot water, wraps him self in a thick sweater and trots around for a long while.

The actor's chauffeur wheels his perambulator on tu the set where Kepura is to sing. hands him everything he wonts from the vehicle, and then patiently holds the sweater until Jaż is ready for It.
