Adolphe Menjou—Star For 20 Years
In a profession notorious /or its quick “fade-outs,” Adolphe Menjou has retained his popularity as a screen star for more than 20 years. Ir; addition, he is called the man who accomplished the impossible because he made the transition from silent films to sound, a*nd from sophisti- ' cated leads and heavies to characters, without losing his status as a player. In a recently finished picture, “That’s Right, You’re Wrong,” he went back to a villain part. To add to his unusual record, Menjou has made pictures in more foreign languages than any other star in films, having appeared in screen productions in French, German. Italian, Spanish, and Russian. He has the distinction of having starred in the first talking picture in the French language, “Mon Gosse de Fere.” In “A Bill of Divorcement,” yet to be released, Menjou delineates the character of an insane man restored to apparent sanity only to find that his wife has divorced him and is about to marry another man.
