It will bring her appro- ximately £150,000 in two years, The contract, which is with, Asso- clated Talking Pictures Limited, will cover the whole of her cinema activities for the next two years.

Mr. R. T. Baker, 'joint manager of the firm, stated that during that time Mies Fields would probably mako three pictures. "You may take it that Mins Fields will re- ceive more than Greta Garbo," he anld.

It will be directed by Mr. Baall Doan.
