WHO will the first Michael Arlen
w screen heroine be?
Robert T. Kane. First National pro-
Queer. and his director. Alfred A. San
tell, have been searching for the ac-
tress to fill the title role in Michael
Arlen's 1.-THE Dancer Of Paris" which
will be the first Arlen story to reach
the screen. The choice \has narrowed
down to three-two screen actresses
and one well known to the stage.
Arlen, in his story. described his
heroine, Consuelo. with these lines:
who in this world was ever more
wildly. more magnificently alive than
that golden lady, she who was called
the Dancer of PARISH
Her bank manager stood at atten-
ton when speaking to her."
"She wore clothes SO that French
women looked like Englishwomen."
But, say, that girl is hard! some
of her countrymen said. She's as hard
as a diamond
To find the actress who can char
acterize the Dancer Of Paris according
to those descriptions of her and who
can catch the full spirit of this pecul-
iarly distinctive heroine is the task
that Kane and Santell have set them
selves.
AS they say in advertisements, they
won't be happy till they get her.
