EUROPEAN SCREEN STAR COMES TO HOLLYWOOD Paramount’s new European importation, Hungarian Franziska Gaal, has been described by Cecil B. DeMille as a youthful combination of Helen Hayes, Mary Pickford, Elizabeth Bergner and Clara Bow. So impressed was he, in fact, that he has given her the leading l'ole in his next picture for Paramount, “The Buccaneer.’’ Miss Gaal, though new to Hollywood, is no stage and screen novice, having begun her training when a child and made her professional debut in her early ’teens. She has been starred on the stage in every important capital of Europe and played roles varying in type from “Alice in Wonderland” to “Lady Macßeth.” She has made nine motion pictures in Europe the first of which was “Miss Paprika” and the latest “Miss Lily”.

In fact, she says she is “normal.” She is also very real and very vital with an amazing combination of wistfulness, intelligence, depth of feeling and gaiety which causes us to look forward to her first Hollywood picture.
