A LIKEABLE ACTOR

CHARLES FARRELL’S POPULARITY

NOW IN AUSTRALIA

“Hollywood’s most natural and likeable actor.” Everyone who lias met him gives this description of Charles Farrell, American film star, now in Australia to star at Pagewood in National Productions’ film. “The Flying Doctor.” In spite of his many screen triumphs, which commenced with “Seventh Heaven,” Charles lias retained the simplicity which was his when lie first arrived in Hollywood. That was ten years ago, when the complete Farrell fortune was eighteen dollars and an ambition to see his name in electric lights on a theatre

marque. A tremendous Tavourite on the lot, where Lis sincerity makes him a friend of those stern critics, the prop men and technical crews, Charles spends his leisure outside the .studios in bis racing yawl. "Tito Flying Cloud.” The enthusiasm displayed in Lis work extends itself to sport, since the star finds time to play one of the best games of Icimis in the colony, to ride, swim. golf, and reach championship form in boxing. The Farrell capacity for friendship makes him one of the most genuinely popular people in Hollywood. The American star arrived in Svdnev hv the .Monterey on 27th Jan-

uary and was given a warm reception by representative gatherings of the cinema industry and public alike.
