Actress Vivien Leigh Wearing Eye Patch
(Original Caption) London, England: "Patched Up" At Ministry--The St. James Theater has been saved from the wreckers for the Nonge, thanks to Vivien Leigh, actress wife of Sir Laurence Olivier and her now widely acclaimed plea in the House of Lords. Miss Leigh is shown when she visited the Housing Ministry yesterday, wearing a black patch over her eye. "Bitten by an insect" she explained. The actress was told that the House of Lords voted 22-18 last night to stay the demolition of the Theater until all Parliament can decide the next step. The "reprieve" for the playhouse came when the House of Lords was told that volunteering American financial Angels has been won over to the cause.
