Piccadilly (British). People who liked The Old Wives' Tale may be startled at the idea of Arnold Bennett writing a film for Gilda Gray. And people who liked the Follies of 1922 may think it odd that Shimmy-Dancer Gray would appear in a story by Litterateur Bennett. Yet there is nothing in the collaboration to wonder at.

Last week she was defeated in the quarter-finals by England's Joan Ridley but one moment of glory...
Eugene Goossens' parents were Flemish, but he was born in Liverpool 36 years ago and schooled there. The violin is his favorite instrument. His taste inclines to creative modernism. Librettist Bennett, sticking close to his Bible, furnished the composer with a wieldy vehicle stressing only the orthodox characters-Judith, enchantress of besieged Bethulia; Holofernes, the lusty besieger, whom she beguiles and then beheads; Haggith, Judith's maid, who smuggles the bloody head into the town; Achior, lieutenant of Holofernes who is bound to a stake, and released by Judith, for his disinclination to storm Bethulia; Bagoas, the chief...
