Religious Films

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

Cecil do Mille has planned 'a Blm of the life of Mary of Nazareth. This production will be started in the spring.

It will be Cecil de Millo'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 Made- leine Carroll.

Cecil de Mille is famous for his bbiteni eples. Remember "The Ten Commandments" made in 1923; that great film, "The Sign of the Cross": and the silent film masterpiece, "The King of Kings" made in 1927. His new biblical epic will be made as n companion plcture to "The King of Kings".

Another religious flm scheduled for production this spring Is "March- ing as to War," dealing with the life of General William Booth."

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