WELCOME HOME GIFT TO ELIZABETH
Elizabeth Taylor, the 15-year-old star, was welcomed back to Hollywood recently by M.-G.-M., aften a month's holiday in England, with a present ' most teen-agers would die for — a role in Van Johnson's next film. Elizabeth and Van will be together in Metro's adaptation of W. H. Hudson's classic "Green Mansions." Tall, pretty Elizabeth was not as thrilled as she should have been. Metro, in the same breath, forbade this ardent young horspwoman to do any more jumping— she is now too valuable to risk injury. Elizabeth, who won stardom as the young rider of "National Velvet," and- who today owns King Charles, the steeplechaser that she rode in the film, is broken-hearted over the ban. "Green Mansions" will go into production when Elizabeth has finished Vina Delman's "The Rich Full Life," and when Van has made "High Barbaree."
