Alice Has Been Found!

Alice has been found! In other words, the search for a girl to play the title part in Paramount’s film version of Lewig Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" has been

concluded with the selection of Charlotte Henry, of Brooklyn, New York, for the part. The search for a suitable girl has been world-wide, and the New Zealand nominees were brought into touch with the Paramount Film Service through the columns of the "Radio Record," which sponsored the search in this country. The American directors let it be wnderstood that the ideal Alice should be young, small, talented and seméexperienced. Miss Henry meets all these requirements, and more closely resembles the "child of pure, unclouded brow and dreaming eyes of wonder" than any of the other T7000 applicants. We present here the first photograph of Miss Henry. published in New Zealand. The lucky young actress will proceed immediately to Hollywood, where the rest of the cast for this great picture has already been chosen-Gary Oooper as the White Knight, Bing Crosby as the Mock Turtle, Jack Oakie as Tweedledum, Charlie Ruggles as the White Rabbit, Louise Fazenda as the White Queen, Ford Sterling as the White King, Alison Skipworth as the Duchess and Leon Errol as — Uncle Gilbert.
