SEARCHING FOR ALICE

Many N.Z. Girls Eager to Play Part in American Film Since it was mentioned in the "Radio Record" some weeks ago that the Paramount film people were looking for a girl to play the title part in a talkie version of "Alice in Wonderland," a film which the company expects to produce very shortly, photographs of youthful blondes have flowed in from all parts of New Zealand. These photographs, together with details, have been forwarded by the Paramount Film Service, Wellington, to the company’s head office in Sydney. After they have been considered by the executive there a chosen few will , be forwarded to America for final consideration by directors, who will also consider entrants from other parts of the world. The fact that a New Zealand girl may not be chosen does not reflect any diseredit on lher-the Paramount Company has laid down a definite standard, and is conducting a world-wide search for a girl who will conform as nearly as possible to that standard.
