with her during the acting; while Mrs. Doris Dudley, mother of
the child "Butch Jenkins," receives 400 pounds a week for the same purpose; and Mrs. "Ethel Gumm" went on drawing a like wage until her daughter grew up and married — she being the world-famous star "Judy Garland," Mickey Rooney's partner in most of his pictures.
The one mother who did not stay with her daughter during training is the mother of "Deanna Durbin." The English star "Angela Lansbury," meanwhile, still acknowledges her mother's authority over her and accepts her guidance without grumbling, though she has passed sixteen.
Stranger still, the Metro-Goldwyn company still pays a monthly salary to Mrs. "Tita Garson," mother of the Irish "Greer Garson," who has passed forty, to help it curb the temper of her high-strung, headstrong daughter, who will obey no one but her. Set against this is the ingratitude shown by a certain star — whose name I was not permitted to mention — who rebuffed her mother and snapped at her not to meddle in her affairs, until the mother, from excess of grief, took to drink; though she lives in Hollywood still, hoping that her daughter will come back to her one day... and how vain the hope!
The journalists accepted the invitation of the management of Cinema Dunia in Beirut — first, to see the splendid motion picture “The Sword and the Cloak,” acted by Gary Cooper and Lilli Palmer; and second, to inaugurate the first modern air-conditioning apparatus in Beirut.
With this apparatus, the hall of Cinema Dunia has become the second cinema hall in the Near East, after the “Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer” in Cairo — to say nothing of the great merits this hall possesses, such as cleanliness, splendor, comfort, and construction on the most modern principles the world has attained.
There is no doubt that such a cinema hall in Beirut fills a gap of which cinema-goers — citizens, tourists, and summer visitors — have long complained. From this standpoint, then, it is a service to summering in Lebanon; may those responsible take notice of it and
value it at its true worth. For it has reached us that these responsible officials have not given this enterprise the encouragement expected of them.
The costs of this enterprise came to about one hundred and eighty thousand Lebanese liras. It was expected to be completed at the beginning of June; but the authorities' turning away from helping the owners of the enterprise — by easing for them the purchase of the necessary machines and equipment and their shipment from abroad — worked to delay its completion until the present time.
We congratulate the management of Cinema Dunia on this great enterprise of theirs, and we wish it the success and the patronage which it deserves.
