Full newspaper page photo essay with eight photos of Director Ida Lupino with cast and crew of โNever Fearโ (1949). Published in early 1950, the photographs are from the previous September. Text: Hollywood has succumbed to the modern woman. The ladies, who formerly were content to parade in front of the cameras, have now taken over many of the chores behind the lensesโscript writing, producing, and even directingโwhich formerly were considered strictly male prerogatives.

Miss Lupino, who produced the film "Not Wanted," recently turned her talents to directing a new romantic drama titled "Never Fear." Her directing of the new picture is shown here.
