SONATA (Parnell). —"As You Like It" possibly will not be released at all in Auckland, which is certainly Auckland's loss. It has Jbeen shown in Sydney and in other New Zealand centres. "Moonlight Sonata" is definitely to be released in the near future: date uncertain. MISS GLADYS THACKER (Epsom).— Constructive comment is perhaps better appreciated in Hollywood.

LA FAYETTE (Kohi.).—"Maytime" is not due for local release for several months yet ' P n the auth ority of at least one Hollywood radio announcer, the "e" is unpronounced in the Christian names of both Irene Dunne and Bette Davis. And Kooert Taylor's romance with Barbara Stanwyck, stated by columnists to have been conducted at the order of the studio tor publicity in connection with -His Brother's Wife," is still in the. tender stage. This may or may not have any thing to do with the fact *hat th»>v arc again teamed in a film culled, "This Is My Affair." Bobby Breen is to make Boy Blue" and "Master Skvlark." And kelson Eddy is that real name. Deanna Durbin is with Universal.
