“SHANGHAI EXPRESS.”
Marlene Dietrich and Clive Brook.
“ Shanghai Express,” the Paramount production starring Marlene Dietrich and Clive Brook, is coming to Everybody’s shortly. This thrilling story of adventure and romance was originally written by the well-known novelist and traveller, Harry Hervey, and dramatised for the screen by Jules Furthman, who also wrote the screen play of “ Morocco,” Marlene Dietrich’s first starring picture made in America. Josef von Sternberg, maker of “ Morocco ” and “ Dishonoured,” also directed “ Shanghai Express.” The supporting cast is headed by Clive Brook, who recently played the leading role in “ Twenty-four Hours,” and by Anna May Wong. Marlene Dietrich plays the part of a notorious and glamorous woman of the world, while Brook portrays a British officer who meets her, after years of separation, aboard the Shanghai Express, which is held up by a Chinese bandit general, played by Warner Oland.
