Hollywood, U.S.A.. but when he left Australia it was with the declared intention of staying a while in England, possibly to make films there. He may be returned by now to America, but in any case Hollywood would be the best place to write to. He did not j elaborate his vague hint that he might return to Australia for film production. It may, after all, have been more a wish or hope, thai: a proposal on his part. It may even have been a bit of candied praise for Australians to induce them to tee his film! D.S.
