Sept. 14, 1935
ARRIVING on the giant 'Normandie's' latest trip West, Marta Eggerth, vivacious, blonde and versatile Hungarian grand opera, concert and cinema star. Miss Eggerth is under long term contract to Universal for American films. Her initial screen venture in this country will be "Song of Joy" which Paul Kohner (who produced her outstanding European picture) will make. Miss Eggerth is arriving at Universal City this Saturday with her mother.
Edward Sutherland, the director who made such a success with Edward Arnold in his first starring venture, "Diamond Jim," was selected to direct Marta Eggerth's first picture. Mr. Sutherland came to New York to meet his star, who spent nearly a week in New York, looking at the sights, being photographed by Hal Phyfe and Irving Chidnoff, being interviewed by Eileen Creelman of the Sun, Irene Thirer of the Post, Frank Nugent of the Times, Regina Crewe of the American, and almost all of the fan magazines. A very swanky party was thrown by the Publicity Department for her at the Hotel Pierre. Contrary to all precedent, Miss Eggerth sang two songs, one of which she had composed herself, to the accompaniment of a Hungarian orchestra.
