British Producer's Test of Help to Make Afternoon

"GRACE DARLING”
A hint of the production of a "serious" film of Grace Darling, with Victoria Hopper in the leading role, was given recently by Basti Dean, her film-producer husband, during a brief visit to Newcastle in connection with his film "roac- tion test of provincial cinema
audiences.
Bonil Denn is testing audiences all over the country as an aid in his direction of future films, and the question of a "serious". Grace Darling, instead of the abandoned proposal of humorous interpreta tion of the role, by Gracie Fields, 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 starts production next month.
"I think my tour in unique," he said. "Nenters have undertaken tests of provincial audiences, but I doubt whether a producer has gone Into the provinces 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."

He added that the plan for humorous film with Gracie Fields as a modern Grace Darling had been abandoned as they found public opinion so much against it.
When he was in Glasgow Brail Dean told a party of Pressmen that he would like to make a picture of Stevenson's "Catriona" with Scottish scenes.
He admitted that British flow

He is convinced that Almis now are quite as good as the American ones, and in his opinion they are very often better. So far. as quota films were concerned, he thought the only solution was to Improve them,
