ACTRESSES WRITE NOVELS

The British film actress, Merle Oberon, has assumed a new role- that of an authoress. When not facing the cameras she is devoting herself in Hollywood to, the writing of a complete screen play on "Ann Boleyn." When it is completed she hopes to sell it to either Alexander Korda or Samuel Goldwyn, as a screen vehicle with herself in the principal role.
