A Prediction by Leo of M-G-M I saw "GOODBYE MR. CHIPS." I saw a motion picture which I predict will be high among the year's Ten Best. I saw Robert Donat's performance as "Mr. Chips", destined to be a leading contender for this year's highest film prize, the Academy Award. I saw a new star born — lovely Greer Garson, whose beauty shines from the screen with tenderness and truth, stirring hearts to overpowering emotional thrill. I saw an entertainment that will take its place among the great works of the screen . . . rich in human drama and warm with laughter and pathos . . . to be beloved by people everywhere in every walk of life for many years to come . . . I am proud of "GOODBYE MR. CHIPS." You will share my pride with wholehearted enjoyment. ROBERT D0NAT The famed novel at last on the screen! with GREER GARSON A Sam Wood Production • Screen Play by R. C. Sherriff, Claudine West and Eric Maschwitz ♦ Produced by Victor Saville A Metro-GoldwynMayer Picture for July 1939 5
