Marta Eggerth entertains Mrs. McLean, Irene T hirer, Alice Shupper, C.J. Videla, Dorothy Page, Radie Harris and May Ninomiya
screen experience. She has already made 20 pictures in five different languages. Being ’camerawise' and opera trained, Miss Eggerth just twenty-one, plans to make the most of her opportunities and Carl Laemmle, Universal president, has issued instructions to the studio to give her every advantage in story, cast and direction in her American screen debut.
Born in Budapesth, Miss Eggerth began her professional singing career at the tender age of ten. At thirteen she toured the Scandinavian countries in concert singing in eight languages and at fourteen was the prima donna of a Budapesth light opera company with leading composers writing vehicles for her. Before she had reached the age of sixteen she had made 260 operatic appearances. Among her outstanding screenplays have been "Ufinished Symphony" and "My Heart is Calling," shown in America recently, "Blonde Carmen," "Casta Diva" (just awarded Mussolini international medal prize for the best picture of the year) and "Her Greatest Success." The latter two have been showing in Paris and Berlin for more than a year and "Unfinished Symphony" has run over two years in the same metropoli.
The newest Universal star weighs 105 pounds, is five feet three inches tall, has brown eyes and blonde hair. A coloratura soprano, Miss Eggerth's vocal range is regarded as the broadest in Europe, for she sings an 'A' above high ’C.'
