But he said Honduras is a good However, the Chicago Tribune said, last night that war seemed imminent between Honduras and Guatemala.

The director strode backstage, spoke to Brynner for a few min- utes and assigned him the role of the Pharaoh. They shook hands on the deal, “Then we turned the de- tails over to his agents and to Paramount and we both ran,” said DeMille. Brynner told the story from his side: “I had been warned that DeMille was in the theater. That merely added to the nervousness I get every time the half-hour warning is given before a perform- ance. But after the show started, I was too busy to think about it, I wasn’t able to see his| reaction. ... : “In four years, I have never had a visitor between acts of the show —except Mr. DeMille. There are only 7% minutes between acts. But he started talking and I was impressed by the tremendous amount of research that had been done on his picture. By the time Ij} had to go on-stage again, I had not only agreed to do ‘The 10 Com- mandments’ with him, but another picture following it.” Brynner, formerly a TV and stage director, has done only one previous picture.
