Production of Films in War Time
Iln the event of a war abroad. Hollywood would play an Important part by producing motion picture® which would uphold the morale of civilian populations as well as men under arms. This is the estimation of the Hon. Francis Evans, consul for Great Britain at Los Angeles, and one of the most distinguished men in the consular service of his country. Evans, always keenly interested in motion picture production, spent several hours visiting producer Edward Small and members of the cast in “The Man in the Iron Mask," an Edward Small production. He spent considerable time discussing the situation from the viewpoint of a Britisher, since Louis Hayward, Walter Kingsford, Montagu Love and director James Whale are all subjects of King George VI. Evans witnessed the making of several scenes for “The Man in the Iron Mask,” and commented on the fact that it can be regarded as “international entertainment,” a picture which should find a tremendous market abroad.
