AN ODD NOTE
EDITH CAVELL FILM
Here is an odd note. While Hollywood studios are rushing to England to make pictures to conform with England's quota laws. Herbert Wilcox, famous English producer, has arrived in America to film the story of Edith Cavell, the nurse who was shot as a spy by the Germans in the Great War. Wilcox says that by making the picture in Hollywood he can get better distribution arrangements as well as the interest of American fans.
Anna Neagle is with him to star in the picture, which he says will not be anti-German, but anti-war and antimilitaristic. Wilcox also says that it will be macte from the American viewpoint. So now we have the English producers wooing the American market. May Robson has been signed for a fat part in “Edith Cavell,” which will be made at R.K.O.
