El ilnstre visitante, que llegd a Nueva York el 9 de septiembre, de paso para Hollywood, conversd durante una bora larga con el senor Hicks. Nota saliente de la entrevista fue la declaracion hecha por el tenor insigne do que las peliculas que filme para la Paramount, y en la primera de las cuales titulada Giz'e Us This Night trabaja ya en Hollywood, seran las mejores de todas las suyas. — Ol)ortnno nos parece recordar cn esta ocasii'jti que Gladys Swarthout, la eminente diva de la Metro]Kditan Cij.era de Nueva York, interpreta el primer jiapel femenino en la i)elicula fie Kieimra.

Of course, Boyer won’t have the same appeal Chevalier did. Maurice : soaretl to success because of hisi charming gaiety and sparkling singing. Cliarles takes the opposite | tack aiul specializes in soulful suf-i fering. But that, too, must be satisfying to feminine emotions, as the actor : suddenly has found himself the center of more adulation than he ever ilreamed couhl e.xist for one man. Right now several of filmflom’s' male stars are trying to figure out just what it is Boyer has that makes him so attractive, not only | to thousands of feminine fans, but to their own leading ladies. Yes, Hollywood itself has gone quite mafl over this French actor. If she only would talk, Pat Pater ; son. blontl British actress, probably .| could most aptly flescribe the rea A son for his appeal. You see, it 'J took Charles only three weeks from || the moment they first met to con I vince Pat she shoulfl become Mrs. U Boyer. j A fellow who can work that fast ! must have something. Howe-ver, ] his actress-wife prefers not to sing j" his praises for public consumption. :’; TRIUMPHS OF GARDEL PICTURES CONTINUE | Kvery day brings new word | from some .section of the Spanish---! speaking world telling of the tre * mendous success of Paramount’s ■( (Jardel i)roductions. | There was, tor instance, the I letter from .Mr. J.

Donohue of | Porto Rico which said, in part: — J “We are having a wonderful J month here; the biggest month vve l^ have had in two years, due to the ^ Carlos (Jardel picture, ‘El Dia Que .Me (^uieras’.’’ i, Then there was a colossal (we use the word advisedly) scrapbook of Gardel publicity which ' John R. Xathan sent us from Ruenos Aires, and which Argentina’s t Paramount .Managing Director i' proffered as te.stimony to the af » fection in which the great Gaucho ij star was held by his countrymen, j
