Maureen O'Hara is a touchy, spunky, comely 18-year-old, as Irish as a banshee, with a lilting Dublin brogue. Like Mrs. Charles Laughton (Elsa Lanchester) she is a redhead. Before making Jamaica Inn, she studied at the apprentice school of Dublin's famed Abbey Theatre, did bits on the stage for a short time, bits in pictures. Though she was short on experience, one screen test convinced Actor-Producer Laughton that he should cast Maureen O'Hara in Jamaica Inn. Impressed by her success in that picture, RKO last month signed her to play Esmeralda...

When he arrived that morning at the seven-story red-brick former apartment house that is now the U. S. Embassy, No. 1 Grosvenor Square, he was able to cable the State Department an almost complete list of Americans aboard.

Meantime, the duty of Sire Kennedy and of U. S. Minister John Cudahy at Dublin was to determine and report just how the Athenia was sunk. Unshakable, unanimous belief of all hands was that a torpedo struck her just abaft amidships on the port side. Then, said Mr. Cudahy, she "was struck again, wrecking the engine room, by a projectile projected through the air." Mr. Kennedy's report said: "No witness heard a shell in the air; no witness heard a shell strike the ship ... no splash of the projectile was seen."
