NEW SCREEN FACES

CONTINUAL SEARCH MADE There always has been and there always will be a continual demand for new screen personalities, new faces, new types. The search is not coniined to America whence, in the past, a majority of the motion picture stars have come; it embraces every country of the civilised world. The largest of the producing and distributing organisations, Paramount Pictures, has numerous agents who travel from country to country in search of new talent. Following on a recent search that covered ten countries of the Old World, a new leading man, Robert Castles, was discovered. He has been signed to play the lead opposite Clara Bow in her next picture, “Three Week Ends,” in place of Neil Hamilton, originally cast for the role. Castles was found in Vienna by Robert Lissman, one of Paramount’s representatives, after a year's tour through Italy, Spain, Germany, France, England, Hungary, Russia and other nations. Castles is the third European leading man signed by Paramount in the last few months, the others being the French vaudeville artist, Maurice Chevalier, and the Englishman, John Loder.
