A Scene from the 20th Century-Fox Production "Moon Tide".Jean Gabin must pay ex-wife huge alimony - Bombshell for Jean Gabin he has been ordered to pay 50 million francs (£73,085 Australian) to his ex-wife. The Court ruled that his prewar divorce alimony was not sufficient, in view of the devaluation of the franc, and the fact that Gabin is a much wealthier man now than when the ex-Mme. Gabin divorced him. Opinion is that it may jolt the 44-year-old star into making a film, instead of sitting around considering scripts, as he has been doing for months. French cinema-makers will be pleased if he does. Gabin films are moneymakers, and the French cinema is sadly in need of money at the moment. March 4, 1948.

William Somerset Maugham (25 January 1874 - 16 December 1965) was a British playwright, novelist and short story writer. He was among the most popular writers of his era and reputedly the highest paid author during the 1930s. Among his short stories, some of the most memorable are those dealing with the lives of Western, mostly British, colonists in the Far East. They typically express the emotional toll the colonists bear by their isolation. 'Rain', 'Footprints in the Jungle', and 'The Outstation' are considered especially notable. Maugham was one of the most significant travel writers of the inter-war years, and can be compared with contemporaries such as Evelyn Waugh and Freya Stark. His best efforts in this line include 'The Gentleman in the Parlour', dealing with a journey through Burma, Siam, Cambodia and Vietnam, and 'On a Chinese Screen', a series of very brief vignettes that might have been sketches for stories left unwritten.
