Films

HOLLYWOOD seems to be seized with an urge for stories of a religious trend.

Ceell de Milio has planned a film of the life of Mary of Nazaroth. This production will be started In the spring.

It will be Cecil de Mille's 67th picture. Casting is still to be tackled. No one knows who will play Mary but rumour has it that the role will be given to Mado- leine Carroll,

Ceell de Mille is famous for his biblical epics. Remember "The Ten Commandments” made In 1923; that great film. "The Sign of the Cros!"; and the silent din masterpiece, "The King of Kings" made in 1927. His new biblical eple will be made as companion picture to "The King of Kings".

Another religious thin scheduled for production this spring Is "March- Ing as to War," dealing with the fe of General William Booth."

Now "The Great Commandirent", starring Tyrone Power, is announced. by 20th Century-Fox as “a story of Jesus bringing about peace in the
