Mr. Young has had an * * enviable record in Shakespearean roles on the stage. To excite Gaby Deslys! That is a task for a great big man, or for a wee small mouse. And yet Gaby is now saying: "I am so excited about the Famous Player film I am to be in." And, oh, the excitement of the village mashers when the thrilling Gaby visits "our town"!
