ORSON WELLES Hollywood, Calif.
Jane Eyre (20th Century-Fox) is a florid, somewhat disappointing cinemadap-tation of Charlotte Bronte's story about the long-suffering governess who finally marries Edward Rochester (Orson Welles), the melancholic and irascible squire with the mad wife. There is little success in capturing the Brontean intensity of atmosphere...
Orson Welles recuperated with Rita Hayworth Welles (see cut) at Miami Beach-he from jaundice, she from the flu. Restless Actor-Director Welles said he had definitely added politics to his interests, reminded the press that he was Chairman of the Action Committee of the American Free World Association.
Prevention of future wars through guarantees of international press freedom, a proposal which had been seconded by A.P. General Manager Kent Cooper (TIME, Nov. 22), was again urged: by former Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles.
Said Welles: ". . . Every nation which becomes a member of the [postwar] international organization to be set up should be obligated, as a condition of its adherence, to show that its citizens are guaranteed . . . freedom of religion, of speech and of information."
