as compared with ouri and about Rapallo, Italy, where Guy Newall and hy Duke went a'filming ■ year or two back .Hid where Guy*! hook, " Husband Love" was originally conceived
As it was late evening, we partook
of liquid refreshment, and, very
diplomatically, since something about
Decameron Mights seemed to have upset
Ivy, I managed to get her talking of it.
For your information I may state
right here that it is Herbert Wilcox's best film. The lighting and settings are
beautiful, with one exception, the costumes good, though not of any particular period, and the acting excellent, especially on the part of Werner Krauss who plays the hero's father.
" Pcrdita, the lost Princess," whom Ivy Duke impersonates so charmingly looks a dream of loveliness throughout.
" I have only a few dramatic scenes," this " Princess " of Kensington volunteered, at length. " At the end, where I am kidnapped and 'Saladin' rescues me and then when my lover is killed and 1 die of grief. ' Saladin,' Lionel Barrymore, was rather amusing. He said he didn't like working in Germany, and he was always full of this or that grievance, with his wife and myself laughing at him all the time, so that I thought he'd take an aeroplane back home when we were finished. Not a bit of it. He signed another contract and he's there still."
Guy Newall and his little friend " Battistini " came in just as I was leaving. The Italian, who is very tiny, is an interesting fellow, and follows Ivy Duke like an adoring dog. Guy Newall came to the gate with me and I had to ask him what was wrong with " Perdita's " golden locks, anyway.
Said Guy. " Why, she has gorgeous flowing locks for half of one reel, then suddenly, for no reason whatever, except that the camera-man liked the general effect better, they made her wear a semi-bob for the rest of the sequence."
I had to confess I hadn't noticed it. But I expect you will. Don't all write in at once though, there'll be no halfcrowns this time. Josie P. Lederer.
