Fans' Forum Continued f rom page 13 RE-ENTER: "THE SHEIK" £1.00 I certainly agree with Thelma Weiman in wanting to see the remake of "The Sheik." Though I have only seen the sequel of the film, "Son of the Sheik," I've read the exciting E. M. Hull noveL The versatile and handsome Ray Milland should, by all means, play the rdie of Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan! Since Mr. Milland has the ability to look like a gypsy in "Golden Earrings," he could certainly, with proper makeup, be made to look like an Arab. His English accent wouldn't be a flaw, for He can use a French accent (the Sheik speaks only French and Arabic dialect in the novel). Joan Caulfield would be wonderful as Diana, the beautiful adventuress. While Jean Pierre Aumont would be perfect as Vicomte Raonl De Saint Hubert. With these three top stars, it's bound to be a box office triumph. DALE OKI, Honolulu, T. H. Ann Blyth, in the role of Henry Maimer's child wife, enacts a love scene with Charles Boyer, star of Universal-International's film version of Aldous Huxley's story, "Mortal Coils." MORE WASTED TALENT £1.00 In a recent issue of Screenland, a certain fan gave her opinion on wasted Hollywood talent. Well, talking about wasted talent, she forgot to mention Barbara Lawrence. The name sounds unfamiliar to most of us, until I mention that she played in the picture, "Margie." Although I think Jeanne Grain is pretty and did a good job in the picture, it was Barbara Lawrence who held my attention. She is very pretty, there is no doubt about it, but she also had a very natural way of acting and played the part of Margie's selfish girl-friend very well. Since she did a marvelous job in her first hit, this proves she could do even better if Hollywood would only star her in a couple more good pictures. After most people saw the picture, they went away without even Just before the scene at top was filmed, Ann introduced Charles Boyer to her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick J. Tobin, her legal guardians, who watched the cinematic love-making. Romantic scene with Charles Boyer follows Ann's melodramatic attempt to kill herself. 14 Screenland
