Clive Brook. Herbert Marshall. Ronald Colman. Dennis King. Claude Raines. and Victor McLaughlin would have been denied entry because when they first came they were far from being recognized for their ability. They were then persons. They have since become personalities. They might have been lost to the spoken drama and motion pictures had this law been in effect. George S. Kaufman. testifying before the Senate Immigration Committee last year. spoke of the obscurity of Lynn Fontanne when she first came to this country. I quote him: No one had ever heard of her. Laurette Taylor had seen her in London.
