To one standing behind the camera, as this scene in “Water- lco Bridge" was being made, the girl looked very much like one Scarlett O'Hara, a resemblance not odd since the girl was Vivien Leigh. But the impression, as the dramatic scene progressed, quickly dimmed--by way of answer, perhaps, to those who feared the English girl might be a one-hit actress. This -argument, -oddly, has appeared in the usual table about the annual distribution of academy Oscars This one, the stranger thesis that Miss Leigh, not being an ought not 'ta merit consideration. (As Sam Wood, the director of “Goodbye, Mr. Chips says explosively when the subject is mentioned, “If they want it that way they ought to make it an award for the best perform e by an American—if it's for acting they can't rule out Robert Donat!”) talk and Ameriean, This piece no brief for Miss Leigh's candidacy for the Osear. To jud e by the rash of old Leigh pictures now blossoming on the marquees from Broadway to local Main Street, Miss Leigh can get along quite well without benefit of Oscar. In fact, personally if «nyone' cares I'd like to see Bette Davie add another statuette to her collection—just to keep up what has grown into a fine old local tradition.
