Now that he has completed his labours in "Of Human Bondage at the RKO-Radio studios, Leslie Howaid plans to depart shortly for London to make a picture for London Films. He is to appear in Baroness Orczy s "The Scarlet Pimpernel," which Alexander Korda will sppnsor. Mr Howard naturally will be Sir Percy Blakeney, whose self-appointed mission it is to rescue potential victims of the guillotine during the French Revolution.

Walt Disney has added two new stars to his list for future items in the Silly Symphony series. They are Peter Pig and Donald Duck, who will make their screen debut in the approaching "The Wise Little Hen." Mr Pig is not related to the Three Little Pigs. Mr Duck is reported to be in a class by himself and an extraordinarily lazy fellow into the bargain.
