Hitchcock's Selznick Pic; Joins Mayflower

London, May 31.

Charles Laughton and Erich Pommer, heads of Mayflower Pictures Corp., have signed Alfred Hitchcock to produce their next picture, "Jamaica Inn," which goes into production in three weeks.

Contract calls for two more options. Hitchcock sails tomorrow (June 1) for U.S. He plans to negotiate with Dave Selznick to produce a feature for him at the end of this year in Hollywood. Whitford Drake, president of Electrical Research Products, Inc., also sails on same boat. His departure was delayed by illness.
