Motion Picture Classic (Jul-Dec 1928)

A Serbian Cinderella {Ccntinurd from p^vir 65) Like Greta and Lya 'T'hf. cast of her features is like Garbo's. ^ She has, too. an expression ahniit the ejcs hke Lya flc I'litti. She looks like ii" one else on the screen. She is a distinct type, tnll-lippcd and fnll-figured, yet with patrician qualities. She really looks patrician (tlie coronet on the luggage did not influence inc). She has an intense curiosity about America and .Americans. She wants to dine on the foods we eat, she wants to huy American clothes, she wants to learn American slang. So far she has done well. The most useful word she has been taught is "O.K." When she learns "X.G.." she will find iierself a social success in Hollywood. That's a town where she doesn't need to speak Knglish, anyhow. She has also been initiated into the mysteries of the word "whoo])ce.'' She has the Continental languor that belies her auburn liair and ha/.cl eyes. Her French vocabulary docs not include t'l/cvinil. and I have visions of directors jumping up and down on their hats when she keeps them waiting on the set. languor, however, has helped some of our leading foreign actres>es into their niches in the cinematic hall of fame. I ler complexioii is like a child's. She arrived in New \'otk .wd.c powder, rouge, lipstick or mascaro. Slie did not even own a ifowder puff. This again is the influence of her mother. "'She wants to Ivfcp me like a baby," she explained in IriMch, "but I am not a baliy. I would put rouge on my cheeks, but I cannot find ;i place to put it, tiie checks are so red 1!' iV^." I",va has a minrl rpiitc her own. Xolhmil; could induce her tf) say that she liked New York, not even the indignant frowns of the nc^vspaper reporters. She difl not like New York. It was too big. too dirty. She issues other ultimatums in her low, foreign voice. "We si)eak l-'nglish nr>w," she says. And it is surpri>ing to hear the \arious assortments of wnrds that she picked up on the boat. .She was fright fully put out that she was not to see Calvin Coolidgc. .She had heard he "liked fie movie stars." This shows you the sort of talk that is bandied abnut abroad. ^ es. she had heard of many great peoI)Ii in .\merica. The burgomeister. Jimmy Walker, lie likes the movie stars, yes? Ktit there was no burgomeister in Hollywood? No, she had not heard of Will I (ays. .She would like to see American theaters. Dancing she wf>nld like, because she had studied flancing in N'ienna for six >ears. but had never done it professionally. Singing she would not like. The opera was so — she did not know. The opera, it appears, bores her. The fiance classi(|uc, that she likes. Jazz? No, it makes too nmch noise. .\ll of which is an attempt to give you a picture f)f the newest Cfviteiuler for a llollywoofi crown and all of whichgives >(iu no picture at idl, for blva is a mass of conlraflictions. ami after six months in Hollywood she won't be the same girl .uiyhow. At present she is well Cfiuippcd. for she l)as youth, sfiphislicalion. languor, poise, 111 accent aufl a coronet on her luggage. \dded to this, she knows how tti sav r,K." Ihc gal will be O.K. in the film capital.
