the conclusion that La Dietrich
has beauty and a cold allure

the warmth nor the vitality to

have heard it said that
some directors we're so fascinat-
ed by the Dietrich beauty they
forgot she was expected to act.
Others aver that Marlene was
an autocrat of the studio, more
intent on close-ups and camera
value for herself, than acting.
Whatever it was, Marlene
Dietrich is remembered by ex-
hibitors, and most critics, as the
heroine of some of Hollywood's
brightest flopS, including Scar
