to tasks more serious than their
present ones, both stage and screen
would suffer-not to mention the
fact that the persons involved might
also suffer.
So far as the stage Is concerned,
two of the outstanding personalities
subject to the Kings call from Lon
don are Maurice Evans and Ray
mond Massey. The former has no
definite plans for the new New York
season, but it was the intention of
the Playwrights Producing Co. to
send Mr.. Massey through the prov
inces with ABE Lincoln in Illinois"
upon the conclusion of his picture
version of the same play. Another
loss, although 1t remains tossup
between stage or screen, is Laurence
Olivier. A sensation in both media
after his performance in Samuel
Goldwyn's "Wuthering Heights" and
Broadway's "No Time for Comedy"
Mr.. Olivier might easily be regarded
as the outstanding English actor in
America. That, however, does not
keep him from being subject to i'm
mediate call to the colors should
war break out in Europe.
Among today's outstanding screen
actors, the name of David Niven is
more important than ever before.
No one in Hollywood has had the
attention in recent months as has Mr..
Niven. His recent Bachelor Moth
er" with Ginger Rogers gave him
his first starring role and his next,
Externally Yours" does even more
to emphasize that he has finally
caught on with the domestic box of
flee. The fact remains, however,
that Mr.. Niven is an officer in the
British Army Reserve and is sub
ject to recall at a moments notice.
Threat though it may be to the
happiness Of the movie public, Mr..
Niven has finished his latest assign
ment. That puts him considerably
up on a number of other Hollywood
performers who still are working
and whose possible recall to Europe
is even more worrisome to producers
in the middle of pictures.
Charles Laughton, for example, is
so actively engaged upon THE
Hunchback of Notre Dame" that it
would be impossible to replace him
without huge extra cost to R-K-O.
Then there is Enroll Flynn. Also
