So for many months Vivien Leigh was the outstanding actress of the London stage, sweeping elegantly in the elaborate frills and flounces and veils of thirtyfive years ago. Her polished mature performance drew the town, including hundreds of U. S. service men and women anxious to see Scarlett O'Hara. Soon after Vivien's play opened, Larry did come home, not just on flying leave but to make two films which the British Government considered so important that they had asked the naval authorities especially for his release, as the actor outstandingly suited for the stellar parts. First came "The Demi-Paradise," in which he played the Russian engineer, hopelessly bewildered on his visit to Britain and then gradually growing to understand our native way of living, assisted by the English girl with whom he had fallen in love despite his stern principles. He had to learn some Russian speeches for the role and Vivien, an excellent linguist, coached him tirelessly in them. When she was not in the theater, Vivien was at the studio with her husband, helping him in a thousand little ways as mentor, critic and adviser. Every morning she would be there sitting in her chair on the edge of the set, ready to give her opinion when Larry turned to her, as he did a dozen times an hour. She looked after his mail and arranged his publicity and acted as his secretary, applying herself as efficiently and intelligently to her husband's career as she had done to her own. No need to ask her if she was utterly happy — her glowing eyes and quick animated smile and the way she sat watching, chin on slim white hand, completely absorbed in the man before the cameras told their own eloquently romantic tale. As soon as "The Demi-Paradise" was. finished, Larry had to begin work on the even more ambitious production of William Shakespeare's undving plav, "Henry CORNS and Calluses Quickly removed with!

While Larry was on location she went to Gibraltar and North Africa with a show for the fighting men. It meant spending hours crouched uncomfortably on the floor of a Liberator transport, bumping along rocky roads in a jeep, sleeping in a tent and eating off a rough deal table out of a mess-can and acting anywhere that an impromptu stage could possibly be erected. One piece of baggage only was allowed each performer but Vivien still managed to greet the boys looking as cool and graciously glamorous as they expected. She gave them Scarlett and Lady Hamilton, crooned them witty modern lyrics, danced for them and with them, signed autographs and admired girl-friends' pictures. She got back to England again a few days after him and took up her chair on the studio floor, to assist and advise and encourage and relieve Larry of every possible routine detail she could. While she checked the gorgeous period costumes, she must have remembered a winter afternoon on that same floor eight years ago, .when Alexander Korda introduced his new discovery, Vivien Leigh, to a promising young actor, Laurence Olivier, explaining they were to have their first big screen chance as the lovers in his coming film, "Fire Over England," with Flora Robson as the star. He made them sit together on a bench near the set and left them with instructions to "get to know each other's personality because you can't act romantic sequences convincingly unless you do." One November night Larry and Vivien went to the grand charity premiere of "The Demi-Paradise" at the fashionable Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square, a brilliant occasion attended by Mrs. Churchill and the Russian Ambassador and Lord and Lady Louis Mountbatten among others. Then home to their cottage by the sea for their last few precious days together before Larry put on his uniform again and returned to duty. As they were setting off for a walk along the cliffs one morning a telegram arrived. Bernard Shaw's classic play, "Anthony and Cleopatra," was going to be filmed and the author insisted his favorite actress should have the role of the siren Queen of Egypt who died so dramatically for love. It was Larry who begged his wife to accept, telling her she must not subjugate her own screen career to his and that she owed it to herself to act before the cameras again. So because Larry asked her to, Vivien Leigh is coming back to the cinema screen again, a brilliant intelligent star once more. But to herself, Vivien will still be Mrs. Olivier who goes home to her cottage every weekend, to weed the little garden and write her husband long descriptive letters about his two films, now showing all over Britain, and mentioning her own work incidentally. When she plans for the days of peace ahead, Vivien hopes to realize her long-cherished dream of playing with Larry again under their own direction, acting together on that same studio floor at Denham where they first met and which has since been serving to cement their romance still more. 00 SCREENLAND PRINTED IN THE U.S. A.
