He was late and missed part of the first act, but he arrived just in time to hear Marlene cry in English: "Three cheers for the gentleman who has won the grand prize!" They were the only English words she spoke in the whole show, but they immediately arrested Von Sternberg's attention. He saw in her just the actress he wanted and sent his card back stage that night, made an appointment for her to see him the following day at the UFA studio, and she was signed for the part in "The Blue Angel." She scored a pronounced success, and Von Sternberg knew he had made a real discovery, but Marlene objects to the impression in some quarters that it was her success in "The Blue Angel " which won her her Hollywood contract. "T HAD my contract in my pocket long be■*■ fore that film was finished," she says, "and on the opening night of 'The Blue Angel' I left for Hollywood." Her fame hasn't turned her head. To hear Marlene tell it it was all just work— and a few lucky accidents. She sincerely believes it and takes her success calmly. She doesn't even believe that her " type" or her special attractiveness had much to do with it. She repudiates the " European woman" idea put forth at the beginning of this article. "Good work will win," she says. "Type? Why, there are many types in Hollywood, and the American girl type is the most successful." What she says about work she means. Work is part of her life. She frets at idleness. Also, she doesn't believe that she did it all herself. "All depends on the director," she says. "It is wonderful to work for a genius like Von Sternberg." She isn't wedded to the movies for good. She admits the talking pictures give one great opportunities, but she still has a love for the stage. With a director like Von Sternberg, she feels she could make a hit on the stage again. Her family adores her. Her sceptical mother has long since seen the error of her first view regarding her daughter's talent, but she also takes success calmly. In fact, she accepts it almost as something due a daughter of hers, and doesn't say much about it. She busies herself presiding over her daughter's home during the latter's absence, and taking care of her granddaughter. Herr Sieber — he's almost embarrassed at his wife's fame, however proud he may be of it. It keeps him busy warding off innumerable requests for interviews, pictures, invitations and other burdens of fame. For Marlene insists on having her vacations to herself and won't be bothered. She doesn't understand why the world should be so much interested in her. She feels that everything that can be said about her has already been said, and she shies away from interviews when at home. THE fact that she had to submit to interviews almost daily while in America she offers as reason enough why she should want to spend her vacation at home without this torture, especially since she will have to go all over it again when she returns to America. Uncle Conrad is the only one more communicative. "Of course, the whole family is very, very proud of Marlene and her success," he says. "But," he adds, musingly, "I wonder whether all that makes people really happy. Marlene is so terribly busy and she is away from her family so much — I wonder!" But Marlene isn't wondering at all. Marriage and a career? Why should they interfere with each other? " I love both," she says, "and I am going to make a success of both." COLORLESS as Water yet this Liquid ^ *j0 WHAT IS this peculiar discovery that has no color itself — yet imparts color to Gray Hair. It is called KOLORBAK — a clean liquid already used by hundreds of thousands of people who know that Gray Hair is a handicap in business and society. You simply comb Kolor-Bak into your hair and watch the gray disappear — gradually, surely. Even your close friends won't detect its use — until suddenly they notice that you look years younger. No matter what your age — no matter if your hair is snow white or merely streaked — this amazing discovery will impart color. No less astonishing than its sure, satisfactory, safe results, is the queer fact that the very same bottle of Kolor-Bak does for Blonde, Black, Brown or Auburn. Why be gray? Why be handicapped? Why be embarrassed any longer? Get a bottle from any druggist or department store now and if Kolor-Bak doesn't makeyou look lOyears younger, your money will be refunded any time you ask.
