Charles Laughton has achieved a masterpiece of make-up even for him as the limping stuttering Emperor Claudius with the Imperial laurel-wreath always crooked across his brow because he is seldom sober enough to wear it with appropriate regal dignity. "I'm perfectly revolting," he declared serenely. "You know, I said I'd never play another of these historical monsters but I don't seem able to resist a good part and they are so full of character opportunities. But my next film — the one I'm making for my own new company which I've formed with Erich Pommer — really will be a straightforward comedy. I've chosen the story myself and I'm an ordinary suburban business-man wearing my face natural." He grinned. "I expect all the fans will write acclaiming England's new handsome romantic !" _ Charles the Producer will still continue his close relationship with Korda, making his future films in the latter's palatial studios at Denham. The stages will be housing Korda's own new comedy film at the same time, called "Storm in a Teacup" and set in a quiet little Highland town — a kind of Scottish. "Mr. Deeds" in fact — with a quarrel about a stray dog and the local upset that ensues. Vivien Leigh is the heroine. She's Korda's latest starlet and he's industriously grooming her until she blossoms out as "a screen sister to my Merle" as he tactfully puts it. Vivien first played Lady Cynthia in "Fire Over England" and then she was promoted to be the mysterious spy girl with whom Conrad Veidt fell in love in "Dark Journey." Now Korda has put her under a long-term contract and is launching her spectacularly on a stellar career. Nineteen-year-old Vivien is a lithe, exotic little lady, exquisitely poised and sophisticated because she belongs to an aristocratic family and is married to a London barrister. Sports have no appeal for her — she prefers the cultured aesthetic things of life, collecting Chinese porcelain and knowing as much about old books as many a professional connoisseur. She has a two-year-old daughter and a small modern house in Bohemian Chelsea where the cool, perfectly arranged rooms hold just a few pieces of antique furniture and masses of Vivien's favorite lilies and lilac branches. Another new star appealing for your attention this summer will be Lilli Palmer, the vivacious blonde you saw with Richard Arlen in "Silent Barriers." She is now at the Pinewood Studios making "Vienna Sunset," a romantic musical film set against a colorful background of Vienna, the Italian Lakes, and North Africa. Tullio Carminati plays opposite to her. Lilli is just twenty-one and made her first public appearance upside down — the producer wanted a girl who could stand on her head for five minutes in a comic revue scene. With the money she earned, Lilli paid for a course of real acting lessons at the famous Austrian conservatoire where Marlene Dietrich, Elisabeth Bergner, Luise Rainer and many another nowfamous star studied under Max Reinhardt's direction and wept at his acidly scathing criticisms of her early histrionics. At Pinewood too, Herbert Wilcox is busy on the first of the coming cycle of Queen Victoria films. (Since the King raised the ban on screen and stage presentations about his Royal great-grandmother's life, all our leading producers SCREENLAND have been enthusiastically ordering Victorian stories because it was such a richly historical period and those oval-necked crinolines so attractive!) Wilcox has decided to begin with the meeting of the Queen, played by Anna Neagle, with the handsome Prince Albert whom she later married. He is Anton Walbrook, the Viennese star just returned from Hollywood, and perfectly resembles the Prince Consort in build, features, and accent, as well as being exactly the same age as the Prince was at the time. Gaumont-British go into the competition next with Nova Pilbeam starring in their production of "Girlhood of the Queen" which shows the famous Victoria as the shy young Princess unexpectedly called to the Throne and before she achieved her Marta Labarr, whose resemblance to Garbo started rumors that Greta was in London, appears with Charles Oliver in a new English film. life's romance. Meanwhile the G-B studios are proudly . ensconsing the biggest set piece ever to be constructed in London. It's a faithful scale replica of one of the colossal air-liners scientists calmly declare will be daily winging across the Atlantic in a few years' time. It carries eighty passengers and has a dining-saloon, a cocktail bar, and a dance lounge in which you'll see blonde Anna Lee partnering John Loder though Oscar Homolka and Frank Cellier plan crooked doings out on the promenade deck while ostensibly admiring the passing clouds. They're calling the film "Non-Stop New York" and it's a point of honor with the technicians to include even more sensational futuristic effects than they did in the celebrated "Transatlantic Tunnel" last year. George Arliss looked in to admire the air-liner the other day. He seems much fitter after the winter rest his doctor advised and now he's assiduously reading tories again because he is due to start work on his next production early in May. When Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., comes back from Hollywood, his producing company here. Criterion Films, will set off for the Scottish border to shoot scenes for the historical picture in which Douglas plays Bonnie Prince Charlie, adventurous seventeenth-century Royalty. Some of the
