that the previous personality of a well-known player will not color the personality of Scarlett as Miss Mitchell has written her With this In view they have sent a scout snooping through the Southern States to see what can be found In the way of real talent At present there are four girls lined up and labeled "Promising" When George Cukor who will direct the picture for Selznick International
