FRENCH ACTRESS

MLLE. JEANNE . AUBERT PLAYING IN LONDON. Mlle. Jeanne Aubert, the Freneh lactress whose legs are insured for £100,000, and who in May refused to leave the stage in obedience to her husband's demand — ian act which in Paris courts was declared to constitute "grave disrespect" to him and to he valid grounds for divorce' — eigned a contract in London last month to appear in "The Command Performance," a musical show which will be produced at a West End theatre shortiy. There is no excitement or "temperament" labout her. "I came full speed to London from Barcelona," she told an interviewer. "That was business, but to hurry in other matters is a mistake. "Too much hurry" has led to fearful : mistakes, and although, like everyone | else, I make mistakes, I never make the same one twice." i "Is it true," the interviewer asked ; Mlle. Aubert, "that you may marry | again soon?" Sh'e was helping her hairdresser to complete his work, but she p:a,used with a golden curl wrapped round a J ■slim finger to answer the question. j "The same answer I gave you just now goes again," she said. "I never make the same mistake twice. There was a time not long ago when I thought the stage was my best sweet- • heart and stood by my belief. I was I right then and I still think the same. » "I expect to make a film. for qn • English company while I am here." ' Mlle. Aubert wa® chosen recently | by Mistinguette as her suceessor. j ■9he married Col. Nelson Morris, the ' Chicago "meat king," in 1929, and was unsuccessful in her cfoss-petition for divorce last May.
