Show . K i i Claudette Colbert seems to at tract hit plays to herself for her I screen material and they usually prove to be bigger .hits on film than in their original form on the legitimate legiti-mate stage. Paramount's gay sophisticated comedy, .'Skylark," which opens Sunday at the Grand theatre, marks her fifteenth movie made from a play. So successful is she in the part originally portrayed by Gertrude Lawrence in the stage "Skylark," that Paramount officials offi-cials to do "Lady in the Dark," top play purchase on record from the stage and 1941's reigning Broadway Broad-way triumph. "Skylark" is Miss Colbert's second sec-ond consecutive film with Ray Mil-land Mil-land whom she is credited with i having helped to the top of stardom when she insisted that he be her . leading man in "The Gilded Lily" i in 1935. Although under contract to the same studio, they were not co-starred again until they made last year's unforgetable farce, "Arise My Love." |
