The Common Touch
Miss Lili Dawita, a Hollywood film actress, in announcing that she has broken her engagement to a son of the ex-Crown Prince of Germany says:-'I will never marry royalty. They are too self. centred; and so am I." One is left wondering wheeler to pity royalty for their human failing or anvy Miss Damita for her aristo- cratic temperament.
Charles Laughton
Charles Laughton, Hollywood's "discovery" of 1932, is to make n film in England, writes the film eritie of a London paper.
When I rang him up at his coun- try cottage to-day he told me:
"Yes, I am making a Alm here -but only one-and then I go back to Hollywood. I don't know what the title of the aim is. No details have been settled. No ...
Goodbye."
And the star who had made two continents talk by his performan des in Davil and the Deep and "Payment Deferred rang off.
That mobbing he receiving in New York has made Mr. Laughton zhy. And tired.
