FLORA ROBSON’S VARIED ROLES
Flora Robson, the clever English actress, is now one of Hollywood’s busiest women. Once she was so despairing of the theatre that she left the stage for four years to do welfare work in a shredded wheat factory. In the few months since she finished "Poison Pen” at Elstree, Flora Robson has been Paul Muni’s nagging wife in “We Are Not Alone,” and George Raft’s mother in “Invisible Stripes,” and, when Errol Flynn’s overlapping engagements permit, she is to appear as Queen Elizabeth in a new version of “The Sea Hawk.”
She will probably be filling up time in “Autumn” on the New York stage. Samuel Goldwyn may claim to have discovered her for Hollywood by giving her the part of the housekeeper in “Wuthering Heights.”
