British Company. Makes Real Life Drama

:

COSTS £100,000

For nearly a year Vogue Produc- tions, n new British film company, have been making a "hush-hush" picture18 Minuten."

It has been written by Gregory Ratoff, and recalls the old days when he was a kmall-part actor touring little Continental towns. Ho was then a youth of 18.

One day the loading man, who was playing his big sceno, sud- denly turned on his heel and loft the stage, to the consternation of both the audience and the cast.

"You ace," said Gregory Ratoff | in a recent interview, he was jealous insanely jealous of his young wife. Always they were to- gether. Never Mor a single mo- ment did ho allow her out of his sight-except during this one big scene when he had to remain on the stage for almost half an hour.

"Then somehow or other, he learned that his wife had become infatuated with another member of the company, and was taking ad- vantage of this long Reene to pursue her affaire. He knew that ho could only éntch the guilty pair by taking them by surprise. That was why he left the stage in the middle of his scene. He walked straight to his wife's dressing- room, forced the door, saw her in her lover's arms, and, without a word. returned to the stage.

"Always." Gregory Ratoff went dramatic on, "the tremendous fares of that situation has been in the back of my mind. It was a drama straight from real life that, no author could, have devised-a definite proof that Truth ia stranger than fiction.

"And now, at inst, more than twenty years after, I have written a story around that incident, for that is the theme of "18 Minutes." It is a kind of "Grand Hotel of the

circus."

Ratoff had a number of narrow escapes while he was making the picture, in which he plays the part of a lion tamer.'
