MENJOU DISCOVERIES
SOME BRILLIANT MEN Adolphe Menjou has proved himself one of the keenest-eyed of all actors when it comes to recognising possibilities in others. H. D’Abbadie D’Arrast, the director who has been doing such superb work with Menjou pictures of late, was one of the first Menjou discoveries. The suave star provided the first big chance to D’Arrast to show his talents. Arnold Kent, Italian leading man, was another Menjou discovery. More recently Menjou picked up Nicholas Soussain, Russian actor, the waiter who wept so successfully in “Service for Ladies,” and who got a much more important role in “A Gentleman of Paris.” More recent of the star’s “finds” is Lawrence Grant, who was the entirely plausible and convincing incognito king in “Service for Ladies,’* and who, likewise, is being carrlied along to higher opportunities with Menjou. He will be the confidential friend of the star in his new picture, “Serenade.”
