English-bom Cary Grant began his film career in Hollywood. Bom in Bristol in 1904, he went to America to appear on the stage, and was visiting a friend in a studio when he was offered a test that led to a contract. He is a versatile and polished actor, the three films in which we saw him in 1947 being proof enough: Night and Day was a musical based on tte life of Cole Porter, Notorious was a strong romantic drama in which he co-starred with Ingfiid Bergman, and Bachelor Knight was light comedy. He became an American citizen in 1942. Robert Montgomery, the same age as Cary Grant, is another star who came to the screen with the talkies. He made his reputa- tion in sophisticated light comedy roles, then in 1937 made a tremendous impression in Night Must Fall, playing the role taken on the stage by Emlyn Williams. He has alternated drama and comedy since, his strongest dramatic roles being in his latest films. Lady in the Lake and Ride the Pink Horse. Melvyn Douglas was entering the thirties when he made his film bow in Prestige, but it was his polished and subtle portrayals in To-night or Never, with Gloria Swanson, and As You Desire Me, with Greta Garbo, that clinched his f)opularity. He was Garbo’s leading man again in her one and only comedy, Ninotchka, which has recently enjoyed a new burst of popularity. It w’as in 1933 that Clara Lon Sheridan of Dallas, Texas, won a beauty contest, and as Ann Sheridan she became one of the few contest winners to make good on the screen. Dark haired and haizel eyed, she w'as bom in 1915 and originally intended to be a school-mis- tress. For more than ten years now she has been under con- tract to Warner Bros., and her recent roles in Nora Prentiss and The Unfaithful have been among her best. In her latest film, Silver River, she co-stars with Errol Flynn, wdth whom she previously appeared in Dodge City, which was seen here in 1939. Playing opposite Ann Sheri- dan in The Unfaithful was Lew Ayres, who made his film debut as an extra. Cary Grant has proved his versatility i n such films as " Night and Day,” “Notor- ious," "Bach- elor Knight ” and “The Bishop’s Wife," in which he appeared as an angel. Robert Montgomery, as Blackie Gagin, and Wanda Hendrix, as Pila, in one of the many dramatic scenes they share in “ Ride the Pink Horse." Melvyn Douglas is seen above with Greta Garbo in “ Ninotchka," and, on the right, as co-star with England’s Phyllis Calvert in her second Hollywoood-made film, “ My Own True Love."
