Edith Cavell. Those were two fighting words in the last world war. The name alone constituted powerful anti-German pro- paganda. If your memory stretches that far back youwll recall it as a burning symbol of all the victims of “enemy brutality.” And today, with the world a moth around the fire of war— what of today? “No,” says Herbert Wilcox, the producer. “Our job is enter- tainment, not propaganda. The film will be anti-militarist, not anti-German. It will have more sympathetic German characters than others.” “No,” says Anna Neagle, the star. “What would be the good? ‘What is the good of any war? We will show Edith Cavell as one of war’s victims, as the great woman she was.” The celebrated English producer-star team is here for its first made-in-Hollywood movie. They come on the strength of gratify- ing American grosses for their “Victoria the Great,” hoping a Hollywood-made “Nurse Edith Cavell” will gross even more gratify- ingly, and pave the way for their “Queen of Destiny," (or “Sixty Glorious Years” as it was known in England. Wilcox filmed the present story in 1929 as “Dawn,” revived it, he says, at the suggestion of New York critics who saw in it a vehicle for Miss Neagle. The new version will have the benefit of additional research, much of which Miss Neagle has been doing personally—and that's no publicity gag, either. She has her books and documents along in her studio dressing room. Miss Neagle (please to call it “Neegle” though she thinks the commoner “Nagel” pronunciation is prettier) is a delightful, inter- esting person. Blonde, white-skinned, attractive but not beau- oo we can serve you better NOW —our newly rebuilt kitchen and paniry enable us to improve that service to our diners on which we have always prided ourselves. PERCY’S tiful, she talks with enthusiasm about a number of things, but most particularly at the moment of Nurse Cavell. She'll tell you Cavell was the first woman to introduce pro- fessional nursing into Belgium, in 1907; that she had a staff of 60 trained nurses by war’s outbreak; that she was'convicted in secret ‘military trial not as a spy but on'the charge that she aided Allied soldiers to escape, to which she pleaded-guilty; that the film will be keyed to Cavell's own words: “Patriotism is not enough; I must have no hatred or bitterhess toward anyone.” Historians and you may have ‘known before that ‘Von der Lancken, German politico in Brussels, charged the German mili- tary governor responsible for Cavell’s execution with having “ijgnobly profaned the German name and caused lasting injury to it.” But I had to find out from Neagle, who has been digging around in London’s Imperial War Museum. A dozen years ago England’s leading biographical screen heroine was & chorus girl in Cochran’s and Charlot’s revues. In 1930, while in New York with a show, she tried crashing the movies, couldn’t risk losing her paid passage home to stick to it. She got only extra work in English movies until after she played an ingenue lead in a Jack Buchanan musical on the stage. About this time, Wilcox, needing a movie leading lady for Buchanan, “took a chance on me,” she says. He established her in musical films, then weaned her toward dramatic roles—and a film “Vic- toria the Great” which outgrossed all others in England except “snow White.” There is no substitute torWNewspaper Adverlising [ROLLICKING HIT IS FEATURED AT ' Jack Oaki e Lucille Ball Co-starred in "'The Af- A rent fairs at th team play spect; lAl eyed work film Th bles with 1the sf max.
