Rouben Mamoulian was born on 8 October 1897 in Tiflis, Russian Empire [now Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia]. He was a director and writer, known for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), Applause (1929) and Becky Sharp (1935). He was married to Catharine Azadia Newman. He died on 4 December 1987 in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California, USA.- English-born Miriam Jordan had only a brief career in motion pictures. She won a beauty contest while working as a typist in London and this facilitated her introduction to the stage. Seeking fame and fortune in America, she was 'decoratively cast' in 'Three Cheers' with Will Rogers in 1928, her one scene consisting of walking down stairs, while modelling a fabulous gown. Between 1932 and 1934, she appeared in a handful of films opposite fading male stars Warner Baxter and Clive Brook, and this did little to advance her own career. In 'Sherlock Holmes' (1932), Miriam and co-star Clive Brook were effectively upstaged by character actor Ernest Torrence in the part of Professor Moriarty. Miriam's best moment was to be the romance I Loved You Wednesday (1933), (jointly directed by Henry King and William Cameron Menzies) in which she was billed fourth in the part of Cynthia Williams. The New York Times (June 16) briefly commented on her 'splendid' performance. However, this was as good as it got for Miss Jordan and she was last heard of appearing in a short-lived run of 'Michael Drops In' on Broadway in 1938.
