Diana Wynyard

There are possibilities of Miss Diana Wynyard’s return to the screen before long. It is now three years since she took part in the making of a film. After a distinguished career as a stage actress she captured the cinema public when she appeared in “Cavalcade.” the screen version of Noel Coward’s successful review of modern historical and social events. After that she was in “Over the River” and then returned to the stage in a series of dramas, not all of which were worthy of her talents. It may bo partly on account of difficulty in finding worthy plays that Miss Wynyard has again turned her thoughts to the studio. At any rate, there is a rumour about that she will appear as" Lady Hamilton to the Nelson of Leslie Howard. One does not quite know how this will affect the plan of Miss Neagle’s apearance in the same role. Anyhow the Neagle-Hamilton project seems to be thoroughly in abeyance pending the new Victoria picture and the Marie Lloyd impersonation. One would say at a hazard that Miss Wynyard, with her intellectual atmosphere. locs not suggest the one-time Emma Bart who could not even write her own. name.
