No self-respecting steamer leaves New York for Europe these days without a stellar passenger, so New Yorkers are seeing Hollywood's children more frequently.
POLA NEGRI passed through New York, on her way to Europe, in what might be called regal splendor. In fact, I'll be big, I shall call it regal splendor ! And after all, why not, Pola being a princess ? She traveled with her husband, Prince Serge Mdivani, and one of those royal retinues that we read about in books— a secretary, a maid, a valet for the prince, a police dog, a motor car, six trunks and ten pieces of hand uggage. How glad I am that the He dc France, on which she sailed, is such a large boat !
Pola was just as beautiful,, and as charming, as ever. She has left Paramount, of course, and from now on intends to have a great deal to say about the stories she films. She will make two pictures a year — two good ones, she emphasizes — one costume, one modern. She wants to film some of the classics which so far have been left comparatively untouched by producers.
Miss Negri did not know at the time of her sailing whether she would work in Europe or America. She had, she said, two American offers from big companies, and two European — English and French. If she worked
in Europe she would bring over her own camera men and electricians from America. Her lawyer, Nathan Burkan, is to follow her to Paris shortly, with a contract, after he has investigated and determined which of her four offers she had best accept.
In the meanwhile, Pola has been having her first vacation in three years. In her spare moments she has been writing her memoires, in French, which, she says, will tell everything ! We're to know the real Pola Negri at last. It is really her second book; the first one, also written in French, was translated into half a dozen languages.
Speaking of languages, those of you with linguistic ambitions can sit back and envy Pola. She speaks six, one as fluently as another. Polish, of course, her native tongue ; Russian, German, French, Italian, and English. I don't know how that impresses you, but as for me, I'm impressed
something awful.
