Choice Os Scarlett Puts Film Beauties At Ease Again Vivien Leigh Beautiful; That’s Where She Differs From Heroine Os Novel. Hollywood From Atlanta, Georgia to Darjeeling, India, is a long way— About 9,500 miles, in fact. But not too far to go to find Scarlett O’Hara, as Producer Da vid Selznick would agree. That’s where Vivien Leigh was born, and all the lovely southern girls who have been cultivating their you-all brogue for two years can just relax. For Vivien,, daughter of a Bri tish stockbroker in the Indian city, wfe of a London lawyer, Leigh Holman, and mother of a five-year-old daughter, has be come Scarlett O’Hara of the screen version of “Gone With the Wind.’’ Miss Leigh can’t possibly car bon copy Miss Mitchell’s Scarlett in one respect Scarlett, the book insisted, was not beautiful. But in other respects, the violet eyes that will do so nicely for Scarlett’s green ones, the trim figure that will readily give the illusion of Scarlett’s 17-inch waist , and the immediate Brit ish ancestry that may have some Irish and French in it a little farther back Miss Leigh qual ifies eminently. Though still comparatively un known to American audiences, Miss Leigh burst on London four years ago.

But as the immoral . little Parisienne of the 1760 s who ! “stole the show” in “The Mask of Virtue”. Miss Lee at 19 became a great star overnight. London critics who wrote ra ves about her talent and beau ty tried to make the usual Cin derella story stand up. The smil ing and self-possessed Miss Leigh promptly knocked it down She hadn’t ever been poor, she a verred, and she hadn’t ever had stern parents who opposed her theatrical career. On the contrary, they were well-to-do, and they gave her ev ery chance as soon as they knew she wanted to go into the theatre. They sent her from far India to the Royal academy of dramatic art in London, and also a dram atic school in Paris. In 1932 she met and married Holman, a successful London bar rister and he too encouraged her career. He was perhaps the most enthusiastic member of the au dience on the night of her great success in “The Mask of Virtue.” Miss Leigh played “Ophelia” to Lawrence Oliver’s “Hamlet,” and signed up with the British movies. She has made only two pictures for Alexander Korda, the British director,' but under her American contract she will still be able to make one picture 1 a year for Korda. And that is how Darjeeling, In dia, produced Scarlett O’Hara in the flesh, and though East may be East, and West may be West, the twain certainly got together at last in spite of Kipling. Tl|:re will be a blizzard of publicity, a tornado of stories a bout players, sets, costumes and all the subjects revelant to the actual filming of an epic. But be fore the big blow out begins, I am going to review some of its history from the time it was just a 2 2-3 pound zephyr causing its first flurry of interest. That was away back in July, 1936. I have heard from someone who should know that after a regular meeting of Hollywood producers there was some dis cussion of the new book, agree ment that it would be filmed, and alarm that competitive bidding might boost the price beyond the story’s real value. So they ag reed (said my informant) to roll high dice for the right to bid for the novel, and David Selznick won. If the story is true, Selznick did very handsomely by Author Mar garet Mitchell, who got $50,000. “Anthony Adverse,” only recent novel comparable in popularity, sold in the open market for $35,- 000. SPANISH REBELS ADVANCE Tarrangona, Spain —ln the most important advance in many months the Spanish Insurgents captured this seaport and now threaten the Loyalist capital, Barcelona. Foreign observers say that in this triumph General Franco has achieved his great est victory thus far in the Civil War. CHURCH CENSUS OPTIMISTIC New York City—Federal Coun cil of Churches announce 64,156,- 895 members of the 248,410 chur ches of the country, representing 200 different religious denomi nations. Last year church mem bership increased twice as rapi dly as the nation’s population, nearly a million new members being received. o LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATRIX Having qualified as adminis tratrix of the estate of John T.
