THE KEY WEST CITIZEN SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1926. covers STRAND eexe Vilma Banky Quick To Learn English Viliua ‘Bahky, the blonde sereen charmer recently imported from Budapest, has been in America only a few months, but she has! learned enough English to say| that she thinks it is ausgezeichnet | (Hungarian for “Jake”) that she | was chosen to play opposite} Rudolph Valentino in “The Eagle,” hie-fivst United Artists. Corpora- | tion release, showing at~ the! Strand.today. | In fact, Miss Banky’s English | is quite remarkable, She has been | devoting herself to it assiduously | and from a vocabulary consisting of “lamb chops and_ pineapple” | she has progressed to the point of making herself a poignant ex- | perience to any man who meets} her. © This is not accomplished | merely by the use of words, but| is ~perhaps more the result of eyes, hair, gesture—what Sir| JamesM. Barrie called “That | damned charm.” Miss Banky enjoys the distinc-| tfon of being the only Hungarian who has attained prominence in Ameriggn motion pictures. Pola Negri, represents the Poles; Victor Seastrom, the Swedes; Valentino, the Italians; Ernst Lubitsch, the Germans; Jetta Goudal, the French, and Bull Montana, the Neanderthals, but Miss Banky is he first to arrive from Budapest. * The actress comes from a non- theatrical family, her father being @ public official in her native land. Samuel Goldwyn, the Am- erican-producer, saw a picture of | her in a photographer’s window} on a recent visit to Budapest and | was so, impressed that he sought an interview and signed her on a long-term contract. Mr. Goldwyn loaned her for the Valentino pic- thre, ‘ The story of Miss Banky’s se- Iéetion to play in “The Eagle” is as-romantic as her original entry into American films. It is told in Hollywood (but not necessarily to be believed, Hollywood being, what it is) that Valentino had sought in vain for an actress, blonde, beauti- ful, of foreign mannerisms and of great emotional ab Finally, he saw.» girl riding. in the Hollywood ‘hills. She» sat her® horse so well, and , furthermore, she rode side-sadille—an un- Americafi_custom—and had such mannerpand charm that he i:n- mediat@ly visualized her as the) heroing of his Russian picture. He | then madéan appointment for her | to me@f Mr, Schneck and his di-| reetor,* Glarence Brown. They apprové the selection and the contract was signed. | SeSSCOSSECOCeHeH SVU Eseee TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS asaeneces | Ex-Biince Henry of Prussia, only brother of the former Ger- man efiperor, born at Potsdam, | 64 years ago today. | John Jacob Astor, 3d., one of the richest young men in Amer- isa, born in New York, 14 years ago today. { | John Galsworthy, eminent Eng-| lish novelist and playwright, born | in Surrey, England, 59 years ago today.
