“THE YELLOW LILY”
How fickle axe the hearts of the feminine film patrons! Not so long ago their prime favourites were the fiery, unreserved emotional Latin screen heroes. Now, heading the leading man list in popularity, if “fan mail” votes may be considered, is Clive Brook, quiet, reserved, polished, poised —and quite English! Brook has come to the lore in amazingly rapid strides. Whether he created the new fashion in leading men, or changing fashion brought him on its wave-crest to fame is the ques tion. Whichever is the answer, the dis tinguished Englishman now holds the hearts and fancy of the great majority of feminine ‘ ‘ fans. ’ ’ His best cinema role to date is opposite Billie Dove in “The Yellow Lily.” the star’s latest First National vehicle, which is coming to The Grana 'l heatre. The role, created by Lajos Biro in his stage play of the same title, is that of a Hungarian archduke. Its military dignity and colour fits him like his gorgeous court uniforms! Alexander Korda, famous Hungarian director, directed “The Yellow Lily. Gustav von Seyffertitz Nicholas Soussanin. Jane Winton. Charles Puffy, Mare* MacDc’mott, Bodil Rosing and other capable and important players make up the large supporting cast.
