(Ladies, ladies — don't fight ! You're both good, but different.}
The amazing Elizabeth Bergner, German star of the English picture, "Catherine the Great."
HAVE you heard of her, Elizabeth Bergner with the big eyes, the expressive mouth, the unerring dramatic talent? She's a German girl who came to England not so long ago and scored sensationally both on stage and screen. Critics are raving. The public — and the British public, remember! — is applauding. Now you are to see and judge Bergner for yourself, for United Artists has imported her new picture, "Catherine the Great," in which she co-stars with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., under the supervision of Alexander Korda, the director responsible for "Henry the Eighth." Elizabeth Bergner is little and appealing — but she is much, much more than that. She has authority! She can play comedy and drama with equal ease. And her voice is one you will long remember. If you insist upon classifying your screen stars, then you may want to know that Bergner is a little like Lilian Harvey, but not so pretty; something like Janet Gaynor, with more dignity; and — but see her for yourself! As for us, we welcome her heartily.
Lovely Madeline Carroll, blonde British beauty who scores in the fine film "I Was a Spy."
MADELINE CARROLL is one of Britain's most famous stars. She is a real English beauty of the spun-gold, peaches-and-cream kind. In addition, she is a very fine actress. Some of her pictures are being shown over here now, and soon Madeline herself, in person, will be coming to Hollywood to make films among us. Watch for Miss Carroll in "I Was A Spy," which we can thank Fox Films for importing. It is an impressive drama of the World War in which the blonde actress gives a poignant performance. Imagine, if you can, a beautiful screen star who plays some of her most effective scenes with her back turned to the camera! No feeling, here, that you are watching a star emote; but a genuine impression of a real character, honestly and deeply interpreted. Perhaps you may see Madeline again in a lighter film offering, "Love and Let Love," a GaumontBritish production with Ivor Novello. She is just as interesting in sparkling scenes. Remember, we warned you to watch for Madeline Carroll! You'll like her.
