Intimate Rather Than Spectacular
AE WEST came out of six months’ hibernation recently and announced that so overwhelming was her admiration of the brave Russians that she intended to make a picture of their Empress Catherine the Great. "The Russians are doin’ such marvellous fightin’ and _ everybody’s interested in Russia now," drawled Mae. "Ill call the film ‘Catherine Was Great’" And added pensively "We’ll make the scenes intimate rather than spectacular." "Catherine kept up her interest in men till she was 70. I want to show how she ruled men with one hand and Russia with the other." Having read all about Catherine and her long line of lovers, Mae commented, "Guess Catherine had to be smart to take all those different men and find out all they knew. "Tell be serious drama." -News Review SS |
