It is April, 1932. M'-’ene Dietrich his just thrilled you in "Shanghai Express.' .ou marvel. You were not in the theatre; you had been carried away to China, to know and feel the life in the war zone. But that genius which lifted you out of your hum-drum world was the result of devoted study of the theatre and its a.lied expressiomstic forms by Fraulien Dietrich in the school of dramatic art conducted by the world-famous Max Reinhardt. She studied with an intensity of purpose that is her chief characteristic in all things she does. Apparently she is indefatiguablc; she drives herself by force of will and strength of body to what in an ordinary woman would be the point of exhaustion. But Marlene Dietrich never reaches that point. From there she carries on. I remember particularly during the filming ofMorocco" that although we sometimes worked 20 hours a day, she never tired nor did her vivacious spirit change. It is summer, 1932, but tonight we will not turn to our radios. The lights arc turned out in the living r00m... I .Marlene Dietrich’s latest picture is in town.

IT is April 1930, you have just turned on your radio, settled yourself to enjoy an evening at home, with the warmth of approaching Spring. On the air there is a song, not a song from the night clubs, but rather a caress...a simple song...a song of 10vc...a voice calm and cool. It is Marlene Dietrich singing her greeting to America; a frightened European girl, alone among strangers, and already longing to immediately return to home and familiar surroundings, .J '*- T To her home where her father had been anoffiotr id the Imperial German army, to where her mother was a woman of high social standing, with an unusual musical talent. However, she is not destined to retreat, for it is this old-world background that is to enable her to. conquer America and the world. It is the early training that enabled her to converse in English and French as well as her native German before she was twelve, the training that made her an accomplished violinist, the genius that enabled her to cc.nplete her education in Berlin while still in her teens; it is this more than just fate that is to carry Marlene Dietrich to the hearts of America.
