contract with 20th Century-Fox

year, but I wasn’t happy with the
pictures I was doing. I have been
trying to be released from the

‘Till RC‘ IS SELECTION FOR
BOOK OF THE MONTH CLUB
In 1955 a sprawling, dramatic,
highly realistic novel of the Mau
Mau uprising in Kenya, Robert
Ruark’s ‘Something to Value,”
shot to the top of the best-seller
i list within a few days of publica
! lion. Now Mr. Ruark has returned
! to Kenya for the scene and inspira
tion of a new novel, “Uhuru,” the
mirl-summer selection of the Book
of-the-Month Club.
Uhuru, like Something of Value,
| is based upon what Mr. Ruark
; himself has observed during re
peated visits to British East Africa.
Ironically, it is the prospect of
Kenya’s promised independence
from Britain, he reports, that is
shaking the country as Mau Mau
terrorism once did.
