IMAGINATION! #6 Mar 5 [Signed Forest J Ackerman's] FANTASCIENCE FILMART "HI Treason" -- Several realistic miniature sets in the cinema, notably the London of 1940 showing the new Charing Cross Bridge, & an NYC with double-deck sts, aeroplanes, airships & autogiros mooring on roofs -- the bombing to bits of the Brobdingnagian bldgs... [Signed Jeudson Droma] I have been so fortunate as to obtain an exclusive interview for IMAGINATION! with Jameson Thomas, masculine star of the movie. "It was an exciting experience" Thomas sayd. "Yes, we considered ourselves quite in advance of the times then, playing roles in a picture revolving round possibilitys 10 yrs hence. The story was startd as a silent, U know; & then sound & talking came in & we reshot it." 'No, I didn't know' I sayd. He continued: "I was interestd to see; here in Hollywood, several yrs ago; the 'Trans-Atlantic Tunnel', produced by the same people, & in which, U may remember, (which I did, definitely) the history of HI TREASON was introduced, incorporating the construction of the Channel Tunnel of 1940." "The PAX insignia worn in the picture? Yes, they stood for Peace." "Sorry I can't tell U whether The Peace Song & 'There Is Nothing New in Loving' (music of 'tomoro' in the film) were recorded or releast in sheetmusic form." As an experiment I quoted some the dialog which'd most imprest me (see Feb Filmart). "U remember my lines better I! young man" declared cinemactor Thomas as I departed. Jameson Thomas has apeard in American scientifilms "Invisible Man" & "Sing Sing Nites".
