CHEVALIER SPEAKS ENGLISH
LEARNT FROM FELLOW PRISONER Maurice Chevalier, the famous French star, who has now signed a contract to appear in Paramount pictures, learned to speak English from
a fellow prisoner of war in Germany, an Australian. Chevalier’s first picture is “Innocents of Paris.” a story of a man who rises from the gutter to fame, and shows the new' star to have a vivid and charming personality that will make him one of the most popular of screen stars before long.
For twenty-six months of the war, Chevalier was a prisoner in a German hospital camp, having been captured while wounded and left for dead in front of the French lines. Here he met an Australian, and each learned to speak the other’s language. In “Innocents of Paris,” which will shortly bo seen in Auckland, Chevalier is supported by Sylvia Beecher, George Fawcett. Margaret Livingston and John Miljan.
