r\IANE HART'S rise on stage and screen is entirely due to her own persistence, determina- tion, or as she puts it, “ to sheer cussedness." At the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, at which she was the youngest student ever, she was told that her husky, slightly off-key voice would be a deterrent to her career—but she has made it her " trademark," and with her pert features and distinctive personality, has become well known to theatrical producers on both sides of the Atlantic. Her first big screen opportunity was in Happy Go Lovely, and more recently she has been seen in Father's Doing Fine and Pickwick Papers. Designing and making her own clothes is her chief hobby. 'T'ALL, russet-haired, green-eyed ELSY ALBIIN -*■ from Sweden, who has been described as a " mixture of Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman," is a modest young woman who would far rather talk about her husband and son, than her film career. She made her British screen debut in Intimate Relations. G ENE BARRY, with his rugged good looks and athletic figure, has gone a long way, and covered most of the ground of show business, since his debut, at the age of eleven years, as a ruthless Bluebeard in a school production. Cinemagoers first saw him in The Atomic City. Bom in New York City on June 14th, 1921, he has dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and is 6 ft. ins. tall. He is the eldest of five children, and as both his parents had had theatrical ambitions which were frustrated, they now feel that Barry is the fulfilment of their aspirations.
