Baby Esther Guest of Spanish King
The French, German, English and Spanish press have been lavish in praise of her. Juan de Mentaberry one of the leading critics of Spain in El Mercantil of Valencia, recently debuted almost two columns to an interview with her, together with her picture, which appeared on the front page. He told of her visit to the bullfight and the manner in which the youthful star was applauded by the public.
He said in part: "She is not one of those children with some forced quality or talent for imitating older people, but a very formidable, comical artist with unusual gifts. And in her life off the stage she is ingenuous and full of love and sympathy. Her steady manner of speaking, her interesting chatter, her large eyes, full of expressive force, shows a brain well organized."
Worries about fat. "I had been talking with her for more than an hour but it was at that moment I saw in Baby Esther the eternal feminine. Though she is only ten, the woman in her is on the alert. She has more than fifty dresses and is frightened because she has gained a few pounds on a few grains of weight."
She is almost besieged with offers to appear on the stage and in the films. English managers want her, too. But it will be at least four years until she will be able to comply with the English age limit.
