French Spy Drama

BLONDE SWISS GIRL

CROSSES BORDER

Geneva, Dec. 18.

Protty, blonde Lydia Oswald, the Swiss girl who was released only yesterday after serving a sentence in France on a charge of espionage, leaned back contentedly in her chair at a restaurant horo to-day as she told of her joy at regaining her liberty.

Her first thought when she arrived after a wearisome journey across France was to visit a hairdresesr's.

Only then was she prepared to tell of her trial, at which the man she loved, Count Jean de Forcoville, was acquitted with another Frenchi naval officer, while she Was sen- tenced to nine months' imprison- ment.

"It has been a terrible experi- ence," she said. "It is all a great mistake."

SECRET PLANS --

Mlle. Oswald, who in her brown sporte costume might easily have. been taken for an English school- girl, became silent as though living over again those agonising mo- monts before the French court when the whole of her future was at stake.

"Wherever I go," she said, "I always make friends, and it was only natural that I should come into contact with people of my own age at Brest." She described how her life in prison had been brightened by letters she had received, especially from people in England.

Some of them proposed mar ringe, while others contained offers for her to appear on the stage or for the publication of her memoirs.

"I am dying to go to England.". she said. "But I cannot "decide anything about my future, until I have consulted my friends in

"Just formality," said one of the officers. Lou," is finished.

For one fleeting second the look of a hunted animal flashed across her face. "Will they never leave me alone?" she cried as the car drove away.

Paramount complain that Miss West is too autocratic and tempera- mental. She has always Insisted on writing her own storles and dialogue, and lately she has been demanding more control over the direction, the choice of supporting players and camerames, and other matters ordinarily left to the direc- tor and producer.

Friction between Miss West and Ernst Lubitsch, production hend of Paramount, ended in his turning | “Klondyke Lou” over to an assistant

producer.

The trouble began when her cameraman was given to Bing Crosby. She complained that the substitute did not understand how * she should be photographed and lighted. Another cameraman was allotted to her, but he had worked only one day when the assistant to her Arst cameraman was called in and given the job.

Differences about the treatment of the story then arose. Miss West fell behind with the script, and worked on it, it is said, In time that should have been devoted to "shooting." The studio notified her that, if she did not work on it at home and keep ahead of produc tion, another writer would be as-

SPANISH PARISH MYSTIFIED BY

STRANGE VISION

The weeping crucifix in the parish church at Limpias, Spain, is again mystifying the priest and parishioners.

People kneeling before the crucifx have been reduced to tears, declaring that the Saviour looked nt them at some in a kindly man- ner, at othefs gravely.

Many-aay they saw tears in H eyes: others noticed drops of blood running down from the temples. Somo have seen the lips froth. On the other hand, people haunt-

Another complaint by the studio was that the production was 23 days late. Her pictures are generally behind schedule. "Klonityke Lou" was to have cost £160,000. Owing to delays and Miss West's success- ful demand for double salary be- catter the company was not ready to begin work at the stipulated time, the cost will be £200,000.

*

For the making of this picture Miss West is being paid £2,000 a week. Should she do another pic- ture this will be reduced to £1,000- a week, but she is now being offered by her agent to other companica, and it is considered probable that she and Paramount will part.
