The talkies meant the invasion of hundreds of stage actors and actresses, and from these a dozen or more jumped into the top flight. That period has come to an end and now the outlook is gloomy. Garbo has queened it over
the
screen for nearly 10 years, and there is no indication of anyone taking her place. The Gables, the Arlisses, the Laughtons have all been established for several years, and their position Is not threaten- ed by newcomers.
