Madge Evans, the MGM star 'who arrived the 'day following, is also paying a return- trip to England. Both her par- ents were Liverpool-born, and she has a 'dock of relations' in the North of England. Miss Evans who is 23, unmarried, un-engaged, and is probably one of the few Hollywood stars who has not suc- cumbed to the prevalling fashion for lacquered Anger-and-toe- nals, recalls a previous visit, made six years ago as part of a tour of Europe. "I went every- where with a girl-cousin of mine," she says, "who is now married to a well-known. British film-mian, and who met me at the boat on this occasion. We recalled that on the previous trip. I, being two years older than my cousin, af- fected great superiority, much to her ragt. So, much did I annoy her that eventually she signified her disapproval of my frequent nose-powderings, preenings, prin- kings and other adolescent vanit- les by catching me a sack over the shins with a hockey-stick!"

Miss Evans hopes, if her work allows her some spare time before her return to fulfil Hollywood eng- ́ ́agements, to pay a visit to the Liverpool district and look up some of her English relatives.

Great Kipling

Production

..

Rudyard Kipling, famous British novelist, playwright and poet, has approved thë film version of "The Light That Faded? which Para- mount is making in Hollywood from his story of the same title.

Mr. Kipling is enthusiastic about the possibilities of the picture particularly as the film script ad- heres faithfully to the original story.

The script was prepared by Sidney Howard, the American play- wright who wrote "The Silver Cord." Mr. Howard is a great ad- mirer of Kipling's works and jump- ed at the chance of adapting this story,

Gary Cooper will play the leading part of Dick Heldar-a role that is essentially suited to him, for Paru- mount plan to make "The Light That Felled" on patriotic and sincere lines like the famous "The

Lives Of A Bengal Lancer."

The story of "Thë Light That' Falled" concerns a young artist whose eyes are affected by a sabie ́ cut during a rising in the Sudan. When the fighting is over he re- turns to England and finds that bis wartime pictures have made him famous. He meets Maisie, his

childhood sweetheart, and, their, love is revived.

Dick begins to paint a great pu- ture,, but quarrels with Maisie over a misunderstanding on her part, and finally becomes blind as the re-. suit of his old wound - War breaks. out." Dick manages to ge

Behind The Screen In Hollywood

One of the world's leading actresses, in fact, according to. some critics the world's leading actress has never been within« three thousand miles of Holly wood, and probably will never come to Hollywood, in spite of the fact that she has had many tempting offers. This young lady.

as the reader, has probably guess- ed, is none other than Elisabeth Bergner, whose newest picture, "Escape Me Never." recently play- ed a premiere performance before thousands of enthusiastic movie fans at the Radio City Music Hall, the biggest, and most palatial of all the world's cinémas. "

It is her second Alm to be generaly released in the United States, and with it. Miss Bergner becomes dednitely established as one of the screen's most pro- iminent figures. Rarely has an actor or actress achieved an as- cendancy so rapid as has this Continental star with her port-" rayal of Gemma Jones in screen version of the famous play which had such a brilliant season in London last year.

when it became apparent from the, waiting lines of fim fans that Esabeth Bergner ranked, with America's leading screen stars in point of popularity. The con- sensus of motion picture opinion is that no star has ever achieved so completely personal a triumpti.

On her departure from New York several weeks ago Miss Bergner stated that she

will never

make a picture in Holly- wood, and that her metter is Continental rather than that of the Western world.

Miss Bergner's support in "Escape Me Never" includes three of the players who appeared with her in the Landon, and New York stage success of, the same name. The production was directed by Dr. Paul Czinner, who also direct- ed per in "Catherine the Great.

One of the most widely discuss- ed pictures in Hollywood, and at the same the

time one whose plot, action and setting is least known, is Charlie Chaplin's new film ten- tatively called “Production No. 5.". The first preview of this produc-. tion will take place soon, afford- ing Hollywood its first full know- ledge of one of its most prideful products- new Charlie Chaplin picture.

The sensational reception of "Escape Me Never" in New York re-echoed the thunderous ap- plause, that greeted this British & Dominions film at the London Pavilion Theatre in London, where it enjoyed a phenomenal run.

"ESCAPE ME NEVER

It is a little over a year since Elisabeth Bergner made her de- but on the screen in the theatres

the world. ક

That was

in "Catherine the Great," the Lon- don Films production in which she played the role of Russia's famous Empresa. The portrayal won for her a prominent place among the annual selections for the ten best performances, and the fim as a vehicle for her talents was rated a box office success everywhere.

But the engagement of "Escape Me Never" at the Radio City" Music Hall was only one day. old

The final exteriors of the flim have been finished at San Pedro, California, and they involve what Is perhaps the greatest number of persons ever utilized in a Chaplin screen play. The scenes called for the employment of 394 extras. In addition to a secre of princi- pal players, bat

Details of the production are still being guarded with maximum secrecy, the only important fact announced being that Chaplin will maintain his traditional silence on the screen and will utilize only pantomime.

Paulette Goddard, selected by the star as of the screen's most promising artists plays the lead- ing feminine role.
