British Producer's Test of Reactions

"GRACE DARLING”

A hint of the production of a "serious" film of Graco Darling, with Victoria Hopper in the leading rolo, was given recently by Basil Dean, her film-producer husband, during brief visit to Newcastle in connection with his fim "reac- tlon test" of provincial cinema audiences.

Basjl Dean is testing audiences all over the country as an aid In his direction of future filmus, and the question of a "serious" Grace Darling, instead of the abandoned proposal of humorous interpreta- tion of the rolo by Gracie Fiolds, will probably depend on the verdict of the public's reaction.

Basil Dean said his organisation, Associated Talking Pictures, were to announce shortly a programme of several "super" films, including one starring Gracie Fields, the story for which has been written by J. B. Priestley. This starta production next month.

"I think my tour is unique," he said. "Renters have undertaken tests of provincial audiences, but I doubt whether a producer has gone Into the provinceă himself.

"It is because I wish to know Just what the provincial audience wants that I have started this tour. It is going to be of immense' value In the production of several films planned for the near future."
