Sam Goldwyn is always watched etuily when he goes star-picking abroad. His successes in this direction have been really -big—Ronaid Colman, Vilma Banky, Lih Damita, und Merle Oberon—too big to be marred by the memory of his costly experiment with Anna Sten. His latest is Sigrid Gurie, the Norwegian girl who-is playing with Gary Cooper in "Marco Polo."
Another girl making her debut as leading lady to" an established male star is Paramount's Franciska Goal, a Cecil de Mille discovery from Hungrpy" He is playing her opposite Fredric March in "The Buccaneer," now being made. At he same studio is Georges Rigaud, an Argentine actor who is a kind of Gable in South American films. He is to be starred immediately with Marlene Dietrich.
I can take these arrivals at their employer's valuation, but I confess to being stumped over the name of Sandra Storm, described as "England's most famous model" I should have heard of Miss Storm. She starts her Hollywood career in "Artists and Models" with the modest title of "Miss Perfection." Another studio description of her. is "a composite of Madeleine Carroll ana Frances Farmer."
If this is borne out she should be given the 1938 Academy Award at once, on principle, and I shall take back the doubts I have cast on her fame. It will all have been a Miss Understanding.
