CINEMATIC FLASHES...

Although William Holdon will lend his usually female-captivating presence to the film, in "The Catalyst" (a Robert Aldrich production scheduled for Fall shooting in France) the girls will go for each other!

Les girls? nom other than Ava (Naked Maja) Gardner and Martine (Caroline Cherie) Carol!

First film of row New York motion picture company will be Toreska Torres' woll-known novel, "Women's Barracks." Nato De Angele s will bring this "story of women soldiers of the Free French army and their adventures in and out of love with various men and with each other" (unquot e "Astro's Tower") to the screen under the banner of Paradise Productions.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The above flashes came from the "Jet-propolled dosk" of Forrest J. Ackerman, literary agent and science fiction addict, who has been faithfully keeping THE LADDER apprised of events of interest in the film world.

Adding the two films mentioned above to the proposed filming of Radclyffe Hall's famed "Well of Loneliness" would seem to indicate a sudden upsurge of interest in the Lesbian by movie -makers.
