e go to Press too earl) to announce the final choice for '• Peter Pan." But Flora Le Breton has everybody marvelling at her enterprise in producing, staging and playing in a short film embodying her idea of " Peter Pan " and sending this across to England to take its chance against the screen tests of twenty-four famous stars submitted to Barrie by Paramount. It is known that Barrie would like a British cast. Ernest Torrence, engaged for " Captain Hook " is British, and practically the only two British girls in the running are Betty Balfour and Flora Le Breton. But Barrie may insist on a boy.
Bravo Flora!
In any case, the screen test of Flora, which I saw a couple of days after its arrival proves that she could play " Peter," given the chance. Particularly good was she as " Peter " in the tree, and in a "medium shot" illustrating the eyes that " were so bright they seemed to pierce the earth." The shadow episode, too, was quite charming. The whole thing was done, I hear, in three days, for Flora was working on a picture with Lionel Barrymore when she heard of the famous twentyfour stars who were tried out by Paramount and found wanting by Barrie. She hired a studio and produced the film herself and I am sure all the British fans will join me in a hearty " Bravo Flora !"
