MR. A. KORDA AND GOLDWYN DEAL

of the COF- poration. Mr. Korda pointed out, requires the consent of all the producer-members before shares can be transferred.

Mr. Korda, as one of the part ners, would have to be consulted: and even then, so complicated.

the corporation's are

articles, many weeks would elapse before such a desi could be completed.

M. Korda added that so far as he knew Mis, Piskford, Mr. Fais, banks and Mr. Chaplin, though disposed to sell some two years ago, had no desire to do so now.

Mr. Korda suggested. that Mr. Goldwyn might have acquired the United Artists Studios and that this might have given rise to the other report.
