not put out a single new film throughout the year 1947. The films of hers that were showing in the movie houses were of the production of the year 1946. This result is nothing but honest proof of the American people's loyalty to Ingrid and their great appreciation of her rare art. It is enough to hear her voice a single time and witness a glimpse of her acting — this small portion assures us that she has taken root in our imagination, and that we shall never forget her!...

As for the rest of the five leading actresses for the year 1947, they are: June Allyson, Bette Davis, Greer Garson, Rita Hayworth.

This is the second time Bette Davis has been elected among the first five actresses; likewise Greer Garson, who, besides her re-election for the second time, had already twice won the gilded medal from one of the cinema magazines as a reward for her art in acting.

As for June Allyson and Rita Hayworth, they took the places of Lana Turner and Judy Garland from last year's poll.

By a pretty coincidence, each one of these four winning actresses for 1947 took part in one film and no more; and despite the smallness of this output, public opinion did not neglect to choose them, for it is still under the influence of the films of 1946, which stirred its admiration and appreciation, and so it kept a fine memory of their outstanding actresses!

Such is the summary of the poll in America. What, then, would the result be if the Arab world were polled for its opinion of Arabic films and Arab stars???!

That is what "The Woman's Voice" puts to its readers...
