Mr. Novarro A Success On the Stage
WOMAN'S BROOCH
GIFT
London, July 20.
Mr. Ramon Novarro, who made his first stage how bofore a Lon- don nudience at the Palladium last night, can go down Into theatrical history As the first Hollywood screen star who hns completely succeeded in getting bis alm. personality across the footlight of an English music- hall.
His act vonalats merely of light songs, in English and Spanish, In evening-dress and toreador's cos tumeand so brief was ench number that his appearances had to be oked out with dances, by the Palladium chorus and an acroba- tie dancing couple.
MOBBED AT DOOR.
But the very fact that this dark, andsome screen lover did not attempt too much was the Recret of his success. Ifia voice la amall, ut he used it so artistically that hi every word could be heard at. he back of the theatre. He com- bined the saucy smile beloved of filmgoers with a quiet and modest nekring; and the best thing of all-this particular visitor from Hollywood has a real senzo humour about himself.
of
It took the conscientious de termination of six stalwart policemen to shepherd Mr. Novarro into the stagedoor ́ ́of the first house, through an army of excited admirers bent on mobbing him; there were simi- lar scenes when he attempted to leave.
The most enterprising member of the first-house audience was n woman in the front row who, when Mr. Novarro ventured near enough on the "joy-plank," jump-
ed
up and thrust a bundle of tissue-paper into his hands. When he examined it in his dressing- room Mr. Novarro discovered in- side a case containing an expen- sive topaz brooch, with a card inscribed: "For your mother your future wife; for all the pleasure you have given us."
The reception from the entire audience WA prodigious-and need one add that Mr. Novarro was obliged to give them "The Pagan Love Song" before he was allowed to depart?
