Queen of Sheba Mr. Zanuck has announced that one of this company’s top pictures on the 1950-51 program will be none other than the story of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. The script is being prepared by Harold Lamb, noted author. “Queen Of Sheba” will be filmed in authentic African and Near East locations. No indication of who will appear in this spectacular production has been given, however. It will be in color. Meantime, a number of other screenplays are nearing actual filming. Prominent among them are "My Mother-In-Law, Miriam” which will star Claudette Colbert (right). This is a comedy in which a daughter-in-law acts as matchmaker for her husband’s pretty mother. Robert Bassler will produce it from a screenplay by F. Hugh Herbert, author of “Sitting Pretty”. Preparations are also progressing for the filming of “Modesta”, based ona 1929 novel by G.B. Stern. Aleen Leslie is writing the screenplay whose cast, it has been announced by the studio, will include Linda Darnell (left), Valentina Cortesa (bottom, right), Paul Douglas and others.
