~ ONALD COLMAN is coming back
u from Europe and Is going to
II make another picture for Sam
i uel GoldWyn. When he left
he said that he wouldn't make
another film. Goldwyn said the same
thing. Reason? Colman had stated
that he photographed better when he
was in bad shape than otherwise-and
that he made love better after he had
had a "snifter." This threw Goldwyn
into o fit. Granted that it vas true
(although Goldwyn swore that it
wasn't) it was nevertheless conceded
that Colman should have kept such
matters to himself.
So Colman departed in wrath. And
Goldwyn remained-in wrath.
At the Sam Goldwyn studios in Hol-
lywood, however, few days ago Lynn
Farnol told us that Colman was all
set to come back-and all set to make
another film. After long vacation of
motor rambling he Is on his way home
and will soon report for film duty.
Forget the name of the fllm, but 1t
has been picked and will be put into
service as soon as Mana" and Roman
Scandals" are completed.
Speaking Of Colman reminds US OF
ELISA Landi (who appears opposite him
in THE Masquerader," film which
will be shown here next week) We
came upon Miss Landi quite by acci-
dent at large party which was being
given high up in Beverly Hills for Con-
cert Singer Nina Koshetz' daughter.
Miss Landia sat modestly in corner,
refusing the vodka which every one else
was drinking. You wouldn't have
known that she was q picture star. "
Other stars" were there (notably Betty
in evidence, and throwing their arms
around each other in the cute" manner
of Hollywood. Miss Landi. however,
surrounded by a group of admirers, sat
quietly and discreetly in her corner,
and at the stroke Of II went home.
You would never believe that Miss
Landi Is In the movies. Unlike other
sisters of the films, she neither plasters
her face with that soft glue which
shimmers at night under the lights, nor
does she draw her mouth away out OF
proportion with paint, or put blueing
under her eyes, false eyelasheS over
them and a mess of mascara over that.
When she looks at you, she looks out
from under normal, blue eyes, which
seem straight as die and are neither
given to bouncing to their four spheres
or closing to half their size and then
opening suddenly with bang. She
looks, in other words, like a human
being-and acts like one.
For that reason she has many
enemies.
It is said that after few more pic
lures she will retire from the celluloid
altogether, that she prefers the pen
to the Klieg lights and that she will do
a complete turnout. This we doubt,
for the simple reason that there are
no two ELISA Lands, and that up until
this moment (although We haven't seen
THE Masquerader'D no photograph OF
her has ever done her justice. As long
as there Is Miss Landi, SO long Will
there be people who will want to per-
suade her not to give up either the
stage or the screen. She Is far too at
tractive to bury herself out Of sight
Some one, one Of these days will come
along and give her the niche that She
deserves and so far hasn't attained.
