STAYS TRIM
(from
Monogram Pictures "Fear" press book)
Anne Gwynne, leading lady of Monogram's tense mystery drama, "Fear," has
not lost or gained one pound in five years of cinema work. She claims a
balanced diet did it for her, rather than a strict diet at intervals.
Miss Gwynne is co-stars with Peter Cookson in the drama. "Fear" is
Anne Gwynne's first Monogram feature.

LEADING LADY GIVES STUDIO
REALISTIC 'FEAR' FOR FILM
"Fear," Monogram's psychological thriller now being shown in theatres
everywhere, furnished plenty of off-stage mystery and suspense for
producer
Lindsley Parsons before it was filmed. The intensely dramatic picture
co-stars Peter Cookson, Anne Gwynne and Warren Williams.
When Parsons opened negotiations with Miss Gwynne's agent to cast her in
the feminine lead, he was told that she was in Texas, but would be back in
Hollywood before the picture went into production.
The contract with her agent was signed. "Fear" went before the cameras,
and Parsons was confronted with the real-life mystery of a missing screen
star, though the actress was not scheduled to appear on the lot until the
picture had been in production for three days. The appointed day, when
Miss Gwynne was supposed to shoot her love scenes with Peter Cookson,
arrived on schedule -- but the movie queen did not!
Frantic calls to her agent revealed that Miss Gwynne, who had been
settling a family estate in San Antonio, was caught by ODT travel
restrictions. An anxious week of wires between the star and the studio
followed, and the shooting schedule was shifted to film scenes in which
the actress did not appear.
When, finally, even the telegrams stopped, the producer decided that
perhaps negotiations for another actress to replace Miss Gwynne would be
necessary. But at the eleventh hour, Miss Gwynne arrived. During the
time she was out of touch with the studio, she had been able to get an
automobile ride to Hollywood. Monogram did not have quite as much
suspense in putting Nestor Palva, Almira Sessions, James Cardwell and Lee
"Lasses" White in the cast. "Fear" was directed by Alfred Zeisler.
