Robert Donat's Last Days
Recalled By Film Director
By BOB THOMAS
AP Molina Picture Writer
HOLLYWOOD (AP) Who is
your favorite actor?
I don't mean just the current
heart throb. I mean the actor you
enjoy year after year, who is sat
isfying even in mediocre or poor
movies.
Several come to mind Walter
Huston, Humphrey Bogart, Frcd
ric March, James Cagncy, Wil
liam Holden, Marlon Brando. But
I think my all-time favorite was
Robert Donat.
My first encounter with him was
"The Count of Monte Cristo," and
I'll never forgot his escape from
the Chateau d'lf. The oilier films
were equally vivid "39 Steps,'
"The Ghost Goes West." "The Cit
adel," "Goodbye, Mr. Chips,'
"Vacation From Marriage."
Naturally, I was interested to
hear from Mark Robson an ac
count of Donat's last days. Rob-
ton directed the actor in "The Inn
of the Sixth Happiness witn in
grid Bergman and Curt Jurgcns in
Wales.
"I thought of Donat for the part
of the Chinese mandarin and had
a meeting with him and his so
licitor in London," said Robson.
"He seemed quile ill and was
very quiet through tho meeting
After he read the script, he told
mo it was something he would like
to do. But he suggested that I talk
first to ins doctor.
"The doctor told mo Unit Donat
had been a dying man, hut now
there appeared some hope. He
thought work would be the host
thing in the world for him. The
studio wanted him to test to see
if he could look Chinese. I told
them you don't ask Robert Donat
to test just pin a thin goatee on
his photograph. They agreed.
"When he started to work, 1 was
surprised to learn that he worked
like Gal bo with flats surround
ing the set so no one could sec
his performance except tho other
actors, the cameraman and my
self, liven the workers abovo the
set had to hide from view.
"His first scenes appeared to be

a great effort for him. I thought
he would improve, but I found out
lliat he was at iiis peak. After
ward, he declined. He seemed to
have no strength and remember
ing lines was a struggle for him.
I had to shoot some scenes many
times. On occasion, 1 used black
boards to help him remember.
"Ingrid and Curt were extreme
ly kind to him, and he was ap
preciative for everything. He was
very ummposing man. He
seemed unsure of himself as an
aclor and even surprised at the
success he had had.
Donat was failing rapidly, and
nonson was laced with a prob
lem. The huge Chinese village that
had been built in Wales had to be
bombed for I he latter part of the
film. Donat had to appear in the
later scenes, yet many more
scenes had lo be made of the un
bombed village. Robson finished
up Donat's scenes by bombing
small portions of the set.
His last scene was the most
prophetic I have ever directed,"
Robson said. "In it, he said good-
by to his friends and his past. The
day after he finished, he went into
Ihe hospital. Two weeks later, he
was dead.
English Star Follows Rule!
Cast As Southern Belle
Bv BOB THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD (API-Why are
English actresses cast as South
ern belles?
"For the life of me, I don't
know," says Margaret Leighton,
Ihe latest of them. She's as Eng
lish as Yorkshire pudding, but she
has been brought here to play a
Southern lady in the film version
of "William Faulkner's "The Sound
and the Fury."
She follows a tradition. Vivien
Leigh bested a bevy of drawling
actresses to play Scarlet O'Hara
in "Gone With the Wind" and was
convincing enough to land an Os
car. Gertrude Lawrence won an
other plum role as the mother in
Tennessee Williams' "The Glass
Menagerie," though her portrayal
was not quite so convincing.
Then Miss Leigh returned here
to play the decaying Blanche Du
bois in "A Streetcar Named D?.
sire," and blimey, if she. didn't
win another Oscar!
Miss Leighton's casting is the
work of movie mastermind Jerry
Wald. More than a year ago, he
visited her backstage in New
York, where she was helping light
up the Great White Way in "Sep
arate Tables." He mentioned "The
Sound and the Fury," but she for
got about it.
Recently, he contacted her in
England. It happened that she
was free, and her husband, Lau
rence Harvey, was coming to the
U. S. to tour with the Old Vic
Company. So she agreed to her
first journey to Hollywood.
"I must say I was a little wor
ried about handling the accent,"
she admitted. "People have told
tv, th Southern 'and British
accents are not far different, but
I don't see it at all. me aouuie

Missing Gold

GARFIELD. Utah (API Kennc-
colt Copper Corp. officials contin
ued their inventory check today
to determine how much gold, if
any, was missing from their re
finery here.
Asst. General Manager Ira K.
Hearn said there definitely was
some gold missing, but "we can
not estimate the value of the miss
ing metal until our inventory is
complete."
Secret Service Agent Robert r .
Grube of Salt Lake City said no
definite shortage had been estab

Hearn termed a radio station

you understand. But by some
standards it's difficult to call him
sober.
Among Elwood's fine percen-i
lions is a six-loot pardon, 6-foot-
V2 rabbit named Harvey. The
fact that other people have diffi
culty in seeing Harvey does notl
dim the clarity of Elwood s vision.
Harvey very well may be the ideal
friend we all want and never find.
Ihe velvety ear into which we pourj
Ihe wisdom the world never quite I
recognizes.
Because of his friendship for
liarvcy, Klwood is a great em
