FILM STAR ANGERED.
NAZI BAN ON FILM. Marlene Dietrich, angered by the Nazi ban on the film, “Desire,” declares that she will not now go to Europe, as she had planned. She has also abandoned her intention of sending her daughter Maria to a school in Switzerland, but that is because she fears the outbreak of a European war. “Desire,” a romantic comedy screened in New Zealand some time ago, had a German n-s one of its stars (Marlene. Dietrich) and a German (Ernst Lubitsch) directed it. Miss Dietrich played the part of a clever jewel thief who, through a romantic twist, escaped being gaoled. The setting was tho south of Spain.
Mary Magdalene von Losch (Miss Dietrich’s real name) was born in Berlin on December 27, 1904, had stage training there, and made her first appearance in the German version of “Broadway.” Lubitsch • also is a Berliner, who studied acting while working in his father’s clothing store.
