German Critics Were Right
Some time ago the Germans weri proud of Elizabeth Bergner, talentec Viennese Jewcss, who proved her worth recently in "Stolen Life." World opinioni however,'was then against them, anc when five years ago the actress begar making movies in English little more wa: heard of Miss Bergner in Germany. Nor did she make a very great impression upon English and Americar audiences. Her English film debut ii "Catherine the Great" was unfortunately shadowed in the U.S. By Marlene Dietrich's ballyhooed "The Scarlet Empress,' and her most succesful picture, "Escapi Me Never" (in which she also playec her only Broadway role), was too easj for her to prove much. In "Stolen Life" the 38-year-old Jewess got and took her first real chance tc show that the German critics were right and established herself in a positior out of the reach of most of Hollywood : lovelies— that of a great actress.
