STAGE and TALMADGE

“THE VENUS.” A European contract has been secured by Constance Talmadgc, who sailed recently from New York. She will proceed to Paris and Nice, where she will be directed by Louis Alcrcanton. Miss Talmadgc sailed on the s.s. Paris with her mother, after remaining in New York but a day. Not since the exhibition of “Breakfast at Sunrise,’’ a First National film, has Constance Talmadgc been seen on the screen. Through her appearance in this French picture she joints the company for which her sister, Norma, has just completed “The Woman Disputed.” Conrad Nagel who plays the leading role in Fox Films “Husbands are Liars,” started his dramatic career as a leading man on the stage. He made his debut in pictures eight years ago, also as a leading man. He consistently refuses to star, arguing that the success or failure of a story becomes n star’s responsibility, and a dangerous one. # ♦ ♦ #
