 AS an antidote, Hertha opened an atmosphere" night club in Ber- lin which over night sprang into popularity as the rendezvous for fellow film folks and writers.
 Miss von Walther started her club, the Eternal Lamp" upon her arrival in Berlin from Helsingfors, where she played the lead in film assisted by the Finnish government and intended for propaganda in be- half of prohibition Pas
 Miss von Walther has had her share of hardships.
 She has been broke. In fact less than three months before her first big success in Germany films she was in a hospital suffering from a bad case of nerves superinduced oy lack of work and dearth of living expense money.
 The actress desire for career on the stage was born early in life.
 T remember when I was IA, I wrote a play and staged it with my playmates," she says. Father came home in the midst of the dress re- hearsal and stormed.
 He was provoked to think I would waste my time in this way. Out of that arose complications which made 1t necessary that I leave home"

 Her first movie work was in Vienna, and she has always been loyal to a cinema career. She has absolutely no yearning to go upon <yhe stage.
 Despite her cosmopolitan educa- -tion, America proved somewhat frightening to her when she first saw it on her arrival in New York en route to Hollywood.
