OUTSTANDING

"II Were King," which is being shown at the Queen's and Alham- bra Theatres, marks the outstand- ing achievement in the careers of Hollywood figures LWO great Ronald Colman, whose portrayal of Francois Villon tops all the roman- tic figures of history and fiction he has played, and Producer-Director Frank Lloyd. whose latest work even surpasses his "Cavalcade" and "Mutiny on the Bounty."

For three months Maurice Elvey, the film director, had worked hard to prepare the filming of "The Relief of Lucknow," based on the siege of the Lucknow Residency during the Indian Mutiny in 1857. His intelligence officers had scouted out every possible detail of the slege; he had marshalled Edna Best and Wilfred Lawson to play the leading parts; he had trenches dug and battlements built ready for going into action. Finally, he sent a script to the British Board of Film Censors,

Dr. Carl Von Elcken, who performed the operation to re- move an obstruction from the Fuehrer's

throat spoke in

before Philadelphia recently the American Inter-state Post- Graduate Medical Association...

He said that some persons first thought Hitler's trouble was, cancer but an examina- tion revealed a polyp a small malignant growth, on one of the vocal cords.

An average amount of mor- phine used for the operation, the doctor said, had an “un- usually pronounced“ effect in Hitler's case, because he neither smokes nor drinks.

Just as Elvey and his colleagues were toasting the success of the production, a message came from the Censors: "We have been ad- vised by the India Office that such a film would revive memories of the days of conflict which it has been the honest endeavour of both countries to obliterate. In these circumstances the Board thinks t right to advise the producers that it could hold no hope of the m being certificated."

LEGENDARY CHARACTER

Bitterly Elvey recalled how much time he had spent trying to trace the legendary Jessie Brown, who is supposed to have dreamt that she heard "The Campbells are Coming" during the siege; how he had tried to track down the son of Henry Cavanagh, V.C. so that he could act the part of his father. Grumbled Elvey: "It is not true that, the authorities in India are unanimously against preserving memories of the Mutiny. It, they were, how is it that the Lucknow Residency is still maintained in ruins. with its dag never hauled down day or night-the only flag in the Empire on which the sun never sets?

the accused said he was born in Berlin, where his father, u Russian, still lived. He carried on business as an estate agent from 1931 untu last July. Then, being in fear of being placed in a concentration camp, he left for Antwerp.

On Nov. 14 he told a sailor at the docks that he was afraid to return to Germany, and asked if the sailor could get him to England. Later he gave the sailor a sum of money, and he was taken on board a ship and put ashore in this country.

Mr. Metcalfe decided not to re- commend the man for deportation, and remanded him on bail in £2 to report to the Allens Office as required.
