BRITAIN IS FOR FILM

MECCA STARS

A most remarkable proof of the progress of British films is the number of famous foreign stars who are now at work in British films and the far greater number whose greatest ambition is to work and to live in London.

British films to-day are competing on level terms with Ameri. can, and British studios give more consideration to stars than any other film centre in the world.

The migration of British film stars to Hollywood has greatly abated. Miss Merle Oberon and Mr. Charles Laughton are typical of those who divide their time between London and Hollywood, and Miss Jessic Matthews and Miss Cicely Courtneidge are examples of stars who go to Hollywood for one film only.
