British Company Makes Real-Life Drama

For nearly a year Vogue Produc- tions, a now British film company, have been making a "hush-hush" picture "18 Minutes."

It has been written by Gregory Rator, and recalls the old days when he was a small-part actor touring little Continental towna. He was then n youth of 18..

He knew that he could only catch 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.
