L ter. You'll see Clive Brook once
again as the titled hero of "The Ware Case," divorce story of London's high social circles, with Anna Lee also returning as the heroine. She left the studios over a year ago for the happiest of reasons and now baby Venetia can be safely left at home — an old stone manor house with a cobbled courtyard and a blue nursery Anna painted herself and an exquisite white Georgian drawing-room in which husband and adoring father Director Robert Stevenson keeps his collection of antique jades.

Your old heart-throb, blond Carl Brisson, will soon be bidding for your fan letters again, appearing as the gallant highwayman hero of an historical film in color called "Claude Duval." Flora Robson has signed for a new picture too, playing a rich woman who refuses to grow old gracefully and strives desperately to take a young man from the girl of his own age he loves. Did I ever tell you that Flora is a great cook as well as a great character actress? Experts come from far and near to admire the scarlet and white kitchen of her Hampstead house with all its clever gadgets she designed herself.

(It may have gone over in the May-flozver but it came back in the Queen Mary!) Roger is now hard at work filming in "The Four Feathers" with most of Korda's other male stars..
