JABLED advice has just been received by Mr. S. H. Craig, general manager for Paramount Pictures in New Zealand, to the effect that Jan Kiepura is now a Paramount star. The message, which was received from Mr. John W. Hicks, jun., vice-president of Paramount Pictures, New York. reads as follows:-‘Happy to announce Paramount signed Jan Kiepura, greatest tenor in pictures. as Paramount star. Comes to Hollywood early next year for first film." Kiepura, who has so far made only two pictures, ‘Teil Me -To-night," which broke theatre records in many countmes, and "My Song For You," just relersed. is probably the most outstanding tenor jn the wor.d to-day, and during the coming year Paramount will feature him in several productions which will be specially selected to give full rein to his glorious singing voice and his talented acting.

zARY COOPER enjoys working in pictures with children-the move capable they are the better. "I like having youngsters around." he says. ‘and it’s always a, pleasure working With one who does u good job and doesn’t speak his or her lines like a parrot. Some actors and actresses are afraid to work with a child-they fear it will steal the picture. But I think that is the wrong viewpoint. Children are the natural centres of interest for a film audience, and if they perform well the audience is completely satisfied with everyone els¢ in the cast. But no matter how good the child is, :t doesn’t detract from the performances of the adults at all I» fact. it puts them on their mette Take Shirley Temple, for instance She played with Carole Lombard and me in ‘Now and Yorever,’ and proved herself surprisingly able. She made it a better picfure, and I think it really helped the rest of us. Off the set Shirley was a constant delight. She and I had 4 grand time." To which all the test of the company can testify; Shirley and Gary were together ull the time He taught her to draw (he was once 2° cartoonist), ne frequently wheeled her ,tround the lot on camera dollies, and When the cast went tou Lake Arrowhead for the filming of location scenes. he taught her to fish and ride a horse. QYLVIA SIDNEY: -star of Para- ’ mount’s forthcoming "Behold My Wife." would much rather play drami than comedy, She says. "Drama. is much more interesting and much niore true to life." :
