Moreno is explosive, boyish, tactless, and colorful to a degree.
AN olive-skinned, almond-eyed brunette, draped in a costume that belied an utter disregard for draft}7 sets, . reclined on a purple couch and waved a jeweled goblet dizzily. "To Zukor-Lasky !" she toasted magnificently. The property men gave three cheers, the publicity man took three "stills" and Nita Naldi was hurried into a cape by her anxious maid.
A visit to the white mosques of Paramount over on Long Island seldom goes unrewarded. Within the imposing walls one is bound to meet eellulebrities of one sort or another — rising starlets, fading Stellas finishing ironclad contracts, permanent fixtures in the film firmament — stars all. with the quaint idiosyncracies that make for interesting copy.
The idea was to find out how Antonio Moreno liked the idea of breaking away from the eternal serials. Was he glad to return to the East? And, incidentally, was he a personality or just another movie actor? This last was to

"It isn't as bad as all that," laughed Bebe Daniels.
"Worse," said Tony briefly. He is explosive, boyish, tactless, and colorful to a degree. As he announced, he is "Spanish, you know." His full name is longer than the Monongahela River and twice as treacherous to pronounce. He is one /froi those pure Cas,7 tilians who love heatedly and hate icily. His emotions are, in other words, like a thermos bottle. One moment he was pouring out his soul in praise of California climate and the next found him calling the wrath of the gods down upon the traffic cop on the corner of Fortyfourth Street and Fifth Avenue. He thinks it's easier to sleep in Hollywood and harder to save money in New York. So he likes Hollywood. On no subject was he lukewarm ; he was altogether for or unreservedly against. Thus, while not always diplomatic, he was always entertaining:.
