SCREEN TALENT
THE KORDA (UP AWARD TO YOUNG GIRL The winner of the cup given yearly by Alexander Korda to encourage talent for the screen, has been won this year by Leonora Stone, a 17-year-old girl who has been a student of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art for exactly 11 weeks. Leonora is the daughter of a civil servant of Sutton, Surrey, and she probably inherits her talent from her mother, who always wanted to go on the stage. It was round about Leonora’s eighth birthday that she herself evinced a desire to act and although the only part she has actually played has been that of Juliet, she was considered so promising that she was chosen as the winner of the cup. This was presented to her by the great actor, Leslie Banks, on behalf of Alexander Korda.
