A New Star. Dolly Haas, who has well in the managed to get her limelight. name and facial like- , ness in the "New* and Gossip,” has already started work on another British picture. This will be her third. It is being made at Elstree by J. H. Productions short for Julius Hagen . Maurice Elvey is directing. The title is ‘‘Fall of an Empire,” and the cast includes Frank Vosper, Francis L. Sullivan, Joyce Bland, and Evan Thomas. Scene is the Empire of Napoleon 111. Frank Vosper plays Napoleon as a rather quiet old bird with a purely academic interest in machine-guns. Francis L. Sullivan is in for the villainous stuff as a brutal chief of police. Dolly Haas switches from Limehouse waif to little French dancer. An attractive bit of goods, according to reports. ‘‘Pert and provocative, complete with period costume and fascinating ringlets,” they say. It is Dolly’s mother, of course, who is responsible for her good English in "Broken Blossoms.” The mother was English—father German. Two banes in Dolly’s life are hair and height. She is only just five feet in height. But that probably adds charm—piquant petiteness. Her hair is red, and usually awry. King Sees Grace Moore Picture. Columbia Pictures have recently received advice from London that following his 42nd birthday celebrations, the King gave a private dinner party at York House, and afterwards the guests saw Grace Moore's new film, "The King Steps Out.” The ballroom at York House was transferred into a cinema for the purpose. Katherine Hepburn Teamed with Herbert Marshall. Katharine Hepburn has just finished playing in “ Mary of Scotland.” She starts work again almost immediately in “ Portrait of a Hebei.” The new picture will bring her not only a change of time and place (it is a modern story, set in England), but also a startling change of leading man. The tempestuous Miss Hepburn is to be teamed with quiet and very courteous Herbert Marshall. It should prove to be a partnership of highly intriguing contrasts. Pandro Berman, Radio’s ace producer, will be in charge of the picture; Mark Sandrich, famous hitherto for his work in the Astaire-Rogers musicals, will direct. Clara Kimball Young. Formerly one of returns Hollywood's brlghtto the est stars, one of the SCREEN. first actresses on the screen to reach the fabulous salary class, Clara Kimball Young is starting her film "comeback” in "Three on the Trail,” latest in the series of Paramount’s ‘‘Hop-a-long Cassidy” Westerns. After retiring from films, Miss Young returned to Hollywood with the advent of sound pictures, as an actor’s representative. In this new field she won great success, but the lure of the camera proved too strong and she accepted the offer to return to the screen. FLASHES .
