(Est. 1872) Free Trial Bottle • PaulRieger, 213 Davis St., San Francisco Madeleine Carroll and John Gielgud in "Secret Agent," on which she was working in London when interviewed for our story about the "English Rose." English Rose Conlinued from page 31 smiles and chats but she does not allow them to probe beneath the surface. She knows, too, that there are some people inevitably jealous of beauty and talent, ever ready to maliciously detract and mar ; and she has learnt that the more famous you become the fewer folk there are whom you can trust. And Madeleine needs to be in complete familiar harmony before she can give her confidence. Experience was her tutor, for there was no silver spoon in Madeleine's mouth when she was born in a little English country town and she originally intended to become a school-teacher. While graduating at the university, she took a leading part in the students' annual play, and the enthusiasm of the London critics over her performance decided her to abandon the classroom except as a means to a theatrical career. Immediately after taking her degree, with honors in French, she accepted a post at a little school on the Sussex coast and stayed there just long enough to save up twenty pounds. With this slender capital and no professional experience she started to look for work on the stage. She was almost penniless when she secured the role of a maid, with three lines to speak, in a travelingstock company. Twelve months later, still living the precarious hand-to-mouth existence of the unknown young actress, she went to a London film studio and shyly asked for crowd work. She had never even faced a cinema camera before in her life but they immediately gave her the leading part in "The Guns of Loos" because she typified the ideal English girl for whom the producer had been searching for weeks. (Yet actually Madeleine isn't really English at all, for her father was an Irishman and her beautiful mother came from France ! ) Still she has been a screen star ever since that fortunate day, proving that romantic dreams do have sensational crystallization in real life now and then. She played in "Escape," "Atlantic," and "Young Woodley" among other early talkies ; and then in the summer of 1931, she suddenly vanished from the studios. Rumor said she had gone to Italy, and sure enough in a few days came the news of her wedding to Captain Philip Astley, a simple, almost secret ceremony in the little church beside Lake Como with only the friendly peasants to throw mountain blossoms in her bridal path. Tall, dark-haired, and handsome, Madeleine's husband is one of the richest men in Britain, a former officer in the Life Guards and a great friend of the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Kent. Yet neither he nor Madeleine cares for the gay social round, and their home is an old oaktimbered house hidden away in the heart of a Sussex forest, with great trees completely shutting away the outside world. Here they live winter and summer alike, following simple country pursuits and entertaining their little chosen circle, a happy and perfectly contented pair of married sweethearts. With a sympathetic husband, Madeleine has been able to combine successfully her domesticity with her career. In the five years that have elapsed since Captain Astley gave his bride the costly double string of pearls she nearly always wears, she has made many celebrated pictures both in London and Hollywood. Her own favorite is "The World Moves On," the American film in which she played with Franchot Tone ; but her fan mail goes to prove that her performance as Robert Donat's unwillingpartner in "The Thirty Nine Steps" has won widest appreciation. Her latest film is "Secret Agent" in which she shares starring honors with Robert Young. Two days after its completion she planned to leave for California to fulfill a six months' contract with Twentieth Century-Fox. She only signed it after first making quite sure that her husband would be able to follow from London very soon and join her in the home she has taken out in Beverly Hills. Meanwhile she is chaperoned and cared for by her devoted maid Esther, tall and dignified and a character whom any Hollywood producer could profitably include in a film. Only a few years ago Esther was head of the nine chambermaids at Arundel Castle, the magnificent medieval seat of the Duke of Norfolk ; but the glamor of the screen penetrates even into the stately ancestral homes of the English aristocracy, and Esther was as enraptured as any other fan when her favorite star came to stay. She did not need inviting twice to become Madeleine's personal attendant and now her handsome figure and rich voice are cele
