2 AMUS EMENTS. Who Will Take Marlene’s Place in Cinema Colony? With Both Garbo and Dietrich Threateningf to Quit Hollywood Forever, the Producers Are Employing Other Foreign Stars. By Mollie Merrick.

A great press party was given to in- troduce the latest beauty find. Bland and blonde and beautiful, she stood in a ring of press agents and greeted the guests with her slow monosyllabic ut- ances, which have come to be so familiar to the picture-going public. She wore a larkspur blue chiffon gown which trailed the floor and a large hat of flesh-colored horsehair which gave her face the symmetrical purity of a blossom. But the_press elly expressed, was: “Those {Cerman hips—they’ll never, never do. And that German grin!” So La Diet- h was reduced down to camera size, ch, as every one knowns, is about 10 to 18 pounds below normal light- weight according to the build of the person. From her first American-made pic- ture she was a sensation. Had it not n for the presence of Garbo in Hol- ywood, she would have been the most dramatic sensation of picture history. As it was, she gave the Garboites some doubtful moments and gave the rival producers many a headache because of her mounting popularity. She is con- sidered one of the most difficult actresses in Hoilywood to interview; she has been known to lapse into silences so pro- found that Peter the Hermit himself would be embarrassed. But this has taken place only when the interviewer has poached on what she considered forbidden ground—the assnag ec Tole role subject of her heart affairs. Her man- ners are impeccable and, when inter- allotted conversational area, she is gracious, highly intelligent and so amazingly lovely at close range that it is hard to believe a human face could be so flawlessly perfect. the woman of mystery and allure. is the lovellest siren-with-a-past type that the screen has to offer today. She is convinced that Josef von Sternberg can do more for her as a director than any one else. Formerly a cameraman, he personally attends to all her close- ups and sees that she is lighted and presented in a manner best calculated to set off her incredible pulchritude. That the tempo set for her by Von Sternberg had begun to pall on critics and public did not seem to concern her. She discredited the oft-expressed notion that she would be transcendent with another director—even when that idea was expressed by Paramount officials, ‘Will her place, should she leave, be taken by a foreign star? Birell of Universal, might step in and become the next siren-with-a-past type. Tala Birell has made two pictures here. In one she has appeared as the peasant wife of a | peasant during the World War. She | made but a passingly pleasant impres- | sion on the public with this. Her next role, as the heroine in “Nagana,” a dramatic story of Africa and the sleepy |ing sickness plagues there, may do more for her. Sam Goldwyn has Anna Sten under | contract. This beautiful Russian —w;l be launched at any moment now. Per- haps the wise Mr. Goldwyn has been waiting for just such a break as this. There is Wera Engels of Radio, at| present pretty busy introducing Holly- wood to the charm of Crepes Suzettes, but very charming herself if the truth | be_told. Irving Thalberg has a German star up his sleeve—Charlotte Susa by name. A beautiful blonde, she had a high position in her own country in films and is now learning English on_ the M. G. M. lot; she could quite well be a successor to the crown Dietrich is |laying aside so cavalierly. In appear- ance she is much like Vilma Banky, who was one of the first foreign star: to make good in a big way in silent films. Meanwhile if Marlene Dietrich re- sumes work in Germany will she be seen here, and loved here, as she was in “Blue Angel” or will she become one of those names like Kaethe von Nagy, Brigitte Helm, Frau Henny Porten and other German stars, ex- cellent artists all, but practically un- known to the vast American public, which is, after all, the world's great fan center. If Marlene Dietrich passes up $4,000 a week and the American public in the interests of art, it is a great devotion to her concept of the artistic and it should be rewarded by some exception- ally fine films of that type known in official circles as “artistic but non-com- mercial.” No four thousand a week salaries grow out of those, but Marlene for mone; (Copyright. 1033. by North American News- paper Alliance, Inc.)

For instance, dur- ing the Spring of 1930 he went to China and found it very big. Then he looked in on Japan and saw that it was little. Having settled those matters to his own satisfaction, he incorporated them in a play called “Private Lives,” which he wrote during an attack of the flu in Shanghal and in which he ap- peared in London and New York for exactly three months apiece. Some time later, having been in- formed that Brazil was a rather large country too, he took a trip to South America. Returning on a freighter, he took out his typewriter and dashed off another comedy entitled “Design for Living.” This latest sea product will have its public baptism at the National Theater on the evening of January 16, with Alfred Lunt, Lynn Fontanne and its author to co-star in Max Gordon's production of the play. As a wanderer on the face of the globe, Mr. Coward has had few equals among veteran showmen. For the most part, they are anchored too firmly to some given playhouse for eight or nine months every year to yield them- selves in any but a fitful way to the temptations of wanderlust. And when they do travel, it is purely for profes- sional purposes. Authors, especially, will go almost anywhere to witness a production of their own masterpieces. Marc Connelly made a recent pilgrim- age to Stockholm to watch a group of Scandinavian actors go through the mo- tions of performing “The Green Pas- tures” in blackface. And immigration authorities have long since given up any hope of keeping out foreign playwrights intent on seeing Broadway productions of their works. But the peripatetic playwright of “De- sign of Living” has no such base motives Playwright and is likely at any moment te pack up and make off for some distant port. ‘The trophies he brings back from each trip are new comedies to beguile his in- ternational public. In fact, the very sight of a time table is enough to start him turning out reams of slightly insane dialogue. | Seven months hence will probably | find Mr. Coward headed straight for the thickets of darkest Africa. No matter how great the accord of the critics for his newest play he will not allow h].m- | self to be shackled down by it to one theater or one locale. Work, he mt\n-l tains, should never be permitted to grow | burdensome or dispiriting. When it does, the only remedy is a quick and immediate change of continents. That 1s Noel Coward's design for living.
