IN TWELVE HOURS.
Anti-chatter films are England's lat-, est contribution to the "entertainment phase of war. When "All Hands" was in preparation, the leading lady, Ddrothy Hyson, fell ill and Leueen MacGrath, who was playing in "Saloon Bar" at Wynham's Theatre, was engaged to replace her. Miss' MacGrath had only 12 hours in which to learn her part and she spent all one night doing it. Altering dresses to fit her took up more time but she was ready: at 9 the next morning. The play is a short story of a sailor, his sweetheart, and a waitress, and is designed to show how vital information about the movements of warships may reach the enemy. John Mills plays the sailor and Gertrude Musgrove the waitress. Other films for production on antichatter lines , are "Dangerous Comment," with an R.A.F. atmosphere, anc "Prattle," with an industrial background. \ .
