Title The Time Has Come To Talk Of Helen...Twelvetrees Coming For Cinesound Productions: Cinesound's Imported Star Looks Good Bet
Author(s)Author Unknown
Publication Date 30-10-1935
Page Number 14
Comments Twelvetrees is described as a 'world-star' despite the compared status of the likes of Clark Gable, and it is even suggested that her involvement with Cinesound may provide her with an international standing. Her salary is considered in allignment with Hollywood studio incmes, if not overly generous, which is a possibly nieve assumption on behalf of the publication.

Interestingly, while Twelvetrees is described as a capable, assertive and appealing woman, Nellie Barnes' compliments are reduced to her cinematic capabilities only.
Synopsis Twelvetrees is described as a 'freelance' actress fllowing the termination of her contract with RKO. It is announced that her stay in Australia is a working trip of eight weeks, her salary is mentioned and compared with Hollywood standards, and Ken Hall is quoted justifying his descsion and saying that Twelvetrees is the first of many imported players. Nellie Barnes is also mentioned as securing a role in 'Thoroughbred', and her abilities are also endorsed.
