His Accent Brought Him Back
'T'ULLIO CARMINATI, back ’ i HollyA tvood, wonders what it’s all about.' When the one-time leading man for Duse first came to Hollywood several years ago, he tried mightily to overcome ills foreign accent. By dint of this effort, he managed to speak with only a trace of foreign articulation. But even this was not enough to keep him from losing out. So he went to New York and let his accent ripen to such a thickness that only a sharp-edged knife could cut through it. It was his declaration of complete severance from all Hollywood hopes. He let his accents fall where they might in making his great Broadway stage hit in "Strictly Dishonourable.” And now, because of his accent, he is brought back to Hollywood to start a long-term contract in 20th Century Pictures proauction of “Moulin Rouge,” starring Constance Bennett.
