Garbo as Camille.

"CAMILLE" has been selected by
Metro Goldwyn- Mayer executives
as a future vehicle for Greta Carlo.
Whether it will be next on her sched-
ule, after her return from Europe, has
not been definitely determined. Irv-
ing Thalberg will produce Camille,
and an adaptation of Alexander Du-
mas famous drama will be prepared
before Miss Garbo's return to the

hope that when Lodewick Vroom's

The public may exercise its pre-

about authors. 1t may take his off,
screen utterances seriously, or with
the proverbial grain of salt. One way
or the other makes little difference
so far as Fields is concerned. This,
however, is what he has to say:
"If authors were necessary, they
would be a necessary evil. But they
are not necessary, and consequently
are merely evil.

quists, speaking their thoughts aloud,
but at the same time giving no evi-
dence Of speaking their thoughts at
all.
RACK therefore we went to "Esca-
- pade" to see if this was so. And
sure enough-there was the bewitch-
ing Miss Rainer up to her neck in
eye-rollingS while when she spoke
she seemed to hold her mouth at at
tention-spoke words straight from
her tonSilS-captured no expression
with her lips
This frankly surprised us. And
when we look back to the Anna Stems
and the Marlene Dietrichs, why the
same thing undoubtedly holds true.
While they plunge their faces in sun
shine and shadows, while they can
make words from THE Prophet" sound
like sweet music, when it comes to
shaping these words with their lips
there doesn't seem to be any shape
there at all
Miss Garbo is the only one who
makes definite effort to overcome
this-but as we recall she, too, whistles
sometimes in the place of speech.
Some of her syllables are accompanied
by a ghost-like and steam-like echo
! which indicates that she hasn't opened
her mouth wide enough to let the
words pass through.
Yes, the complainant is undoubtedly
right-these ladies, no matter how
much you may like them, act alike.
WHAT is the answer to this state
w of affairs? Shall our actresses
be put in the shade? And shall these
handsome importations ever learn to
open their mouths? We doubt it. In
the first place. as long as we have
Myrna 10y about (and England, alas,
has her right now)-and as long as
Miss Crawford and Robert Mont
gomery can make such shallow story
as mo More Ladies" seem amusing,
we have nothing to fear. If a little
| girl like Marsha Hunt can go to Holly
wood at the age of 18 and get herself
a contract-why then there must be
reason to suppose that other Amer
ican girls and other American stars
are on the brink of a new and splep-
did horizon.
And as soon as star such as Luise
Rainer gets under the thumb OF a di-
rector like Woody" Van Dyke the
chances are that he will teach her
/ expression" Mr.. Van Dyke doesnt
waste time. He'll make Miss RaineI
speak-and speak right-or else. So
Miss E.-rest your fears-turn back
to your Wagner with a free heart
and wait and go to the movies in an
other year. Then we'll bet you that
things will be o. K. again-that
Hollywood will be stocked with Yankee
blood-that the handsome Miss
Rainer will tell all-with her whole
being.

Therefore we proceed to a frank
been heckling lady of great musical
knowledge, demon on song, bear
tor Wagner and connoiSseur of mat
ters pertaining both to the continent
and the U. S. A. A resident of Paris
for many years, former Metropolitan
opera singer, and now graceful con-
tributor to musical criticism, she has
been worried of late over Hollywood.
Said she recently, what is the
matter with our American actresses?
Why is Hollywood suddenly giving it
self over to foreign importations?
Haven't we any good players left in
our own country?" and with that
looked so very sad indeed that we
promised to look into the matter and
zee if she has cause for so much sorrow.
WHAT is the matter with our
Nv American actresses? or rather
where are they? There is little ques-
tion but that they aren't as much in
the limelight today as they used to be.
In place of the Mary Pickfords, the
Talmadge sisters, Bebe Daniels, Ruth
Roland and Mary Miles Minter, we
have Crete Carlo, Marlene Dietrich,
Luise Rainer, Wendy Barrie, Anna
Sten, Mady Christians and Anna May

Miss Rainer. But when we mentioned
this to our complainant, she said both
