Capitolfest features Ronald Colman, who likes Louise Brooks' eyes

This year's Capitolfest is set to take place August 10, 11, 12 in Rome, New York. This year's tribute star is Ronald Colman, who, if you believe the 1930 issue of Girl's Cinema, had a thing for Louise Brooks, or at least her eyes. In describing his "dream girl," Colman says she must have Louise Brooks' eyes, but not her hair! 

Here is Ronald's 'own description of his ideal mate:
The unbobbed hair of the texture of that which adorns the head of Vilma Banky, but it is dark rather than light. The brown eyes of Louise Brooks.
Vilma's nose.
Mary Pickfor's mouth and Smile.
Gloria Swanson's neck and shoulders.
The diminutive body and figure of Bessie Love. And has -- and this is most important, Mr. Colman says -- Constant Talmadge's sense of humour.
The complexion and colouring of Doris Kenyon.
There you have the future Mrs. Ronald Colman.

The article goes on the quote the famed British actor, "Louise Brooks' eyes are marvellous. They are large and dark brown in colour. They fascinate me."
 

Capitolfest is Central New York's premier summer Cinephile film festival - a place to see rarely-shown and newly-discovered films of the silent and early talkie era in a historic 1,788-seat movie palace. For more information on Capitolfest, go to this link HERE.
