Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Gracie Fields Interviewed on Becoming a "CBE". SHOTLIST: Gracie walks out of house and then speaks. "Well my feelings are very very happy and contented. I am very proud to have received this honour. I am more happy because, for my mothers sake, it gives her such a thrill. Also for the little town that I came from Rochdale, there just tickled to death. Well I might tell you all that its going to cost you half a crown to talk to me now. Goodbye".
