FILM PERSONALITIES.
INTERESTING VOTE. LONDON, Nov. 22. Over 100,000 film enthusiasts throughout Britain replied to a questionnaire asking who were the fifty most popular film stars. It was surprising that Hollywood was still dominant, despite the big British film push in the last eighteen months. Jack Hulbcrt and Gracie Fields were beaten by George Arliss, Clark Gable, Wallace Beery, Clive Brook, Robert Montgomery, and Ronrld Coleman, among the men, and by Norma Shearer, Marie Dressier, Greta. Garbo, _ Kay Francis, Marlene Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn among the women. Norma Shearer is Still 011 top, but Greta Garbo has risen to third place. George Arliss has displaced Ronald Coleman as head of the men.
Males go to see Marlene Dietrich, Kay Francis, and Jean Harlow, while women are attracted by Greta Garbo and Katherine Hepburn. Curiously enough, while Greta Garbo is the third most popular, she is also the second “best hated” star-having Mae West, Jean Harlow,, and Joan Crawford as companions in unpopularity. Doug’as Fairbanks, senr., Mary Pickford, and Charles Chaplin failed to reach the first-fifty.
