Cal., June 22.—If revenge is as sweet as they say it is, there are several actors in town who should skip their desserts—they've had their fill of sweetness. They are the exiles, voluntary and otherwise, from Nazi Ger- man ideology, fled to Hollywood to patch their lives and fortunes and now given opportunity to hit back at the oppressors, even if only through the screen. You seem them in one or another of the anti-Nazi pictures Hollywood has made, or is making. | You will know Lionel Royce well before this screen year is over. You saw or will see him in “Confessions of a Nazi Spy,” now being re-issued as a timely anti-“fifth column” subject. Royce plays the brutal, domineering Gestapo agent. In “Four Sons” he is Herr Sturm, the Czech villager who cooperates with the German infiltration and considers it a ‘“great day” when Hitler takes over. You will see him again in “I Married a Nazi,” again as a swastika devotee. Royce, a bulky, kindly gentleman, once had his own the- atrical company in Germany, was honored in Berlin for 12 years. With Hitler's accession he was forced to flee to Austria, and there he was hero in a hoax which still burns the Gestapo’s ears. Some day a good movie can be filmed with this hoax.as a basis. Reason for his flight was Royce's slight strain of “non- PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT [ ] srop Dinners or Light Lunches at PERCY'S ANY TIME for that all Juneau is talking about. TRY OUR FOUN- TAIN, TOO! Aryan” blood While hldmg in the Alps Royce grew a beard, dyed it and his hair blonde. Then, with the aid of friends in Vienna, he permitted himself to be “discovered” on the Austrian stage. Critics, hearing of his gifts, came from Naxiland to hail him as the perfect type of “Nordic Aryan peasant” and acclaim his acting genius. When Royce unmasked himself, there was trouble not from the Austrian government but from German pressure. | The Austrians assessed penalties but remitted them, which gave Royce time to escape to America. Albert Basserman, often called “Germany's greatest actor,” ' is a voluntary exile. From a great start in “Dr. Ehrlich’s Magic | Bullet,” he has gone to roles in “Foreign Correspondent” and “Es- cape” (which conecrns Nazi Germany) and now is in “The Man from Fleet Street.” Felix Bressart, a refugee who was introduced hilariously in “Ninotchka,” continues his Hollywood career—and not the least of his work has been in “Escape” and “Foreign Correspondent.” Martin Kosleck's career, with the new release of “Nazi Spy,” should soar again. His first film role was the German Minister of Propaganda in that celluloid indictment of subversive doing in the U. S. The performance led to a similar role in “Espionage Agent.” Kosleck, a voluntary exile, has & minor assignment in | “Foreign Correspondent.”
