Louise Brooks, i giudizi della critica argentina, canadese e sudafricana (1926-1955)

ARGENTINA
*DIE BÜCHSE DER PANDORA*
1.	*Anonimo, Louise Brooks sarà la protagonista del film* La caja de Pandora, "L'Italia del Popolo", 14 Ottobre 1929** ." Fu dovuto ad un casuale incontro che Pabst comprese di aver perso inutilmente il tempo facendo la scelta delle candidate, giacché Louise Brooks, la famosa “stella” della Paramount era proprio quella che egli andava cercando: cioè la più ideale, la più perfetta incarnazione dell’interessantissimo tipo della protagonista del dramma di Wedekind. Inoltrata formale richiesta agli studi Paramount, questi “cedettero” gentilmente l’artista al “metteur” tedesco, e Louise Brooks girò La caja de Pandora, raggiungendo la vetta più alta della sua brillante carriera artistica"
2.	*Anonimo, La caja de Pandora, "La Prensa", November 18, 1929* "En el drama del mismo titulo del escritor alemán Frank Wedeki[]d, La caja de Pandora, ha encontrado el director Pabst un asunto dramático para mostrar a Louise Brooks en una heroína protagonista. La Brooks alcanzó en la cinematografía norteamericana un prestigio discreto. Los tipos de 'flapper', de muchacha frívola y coqueta, muy a la moderna, tuvieron en ella la animadora graciosa y vivaracha. Pero no llegó a papeles de 'strella' absoluta, consagración definitiva de Hollywood. Viósela, es certo, en películas como El crimen de la canaria, encarnando el personaje central, de exiguas proporciones. De ahí que se confiase que el trasplante a los studios europeos revelara en ella , con las nuevas orientaciones, evidentes progresos. Muy pocas condiciones nuevas demuestra la Brooks en esta películas alemana. Su expresión continúa siendo imprecisa. Y de ella lo que más atrae, lo mismo que cuando trabajaba en los Estados Unidos, es su figura. Como la famosa Mistinguett, Louise Brooks gustó en Cinelandia por sus piernas. Pero como éstas no pueden hacerlo todo en un papel de protagonista, su actuación en La caja de Pandora se reduce a términos convencionales. Crea la figura de una muchacha sobre quien pesan, por destino implacable, las mismas desdichas de Pandora. Es, sin proponérselo, sin quererlo, al mujer fatal de la mitología griega, y en su derredor van hundiéndose los hombres, como tronchados por el maleficio de su extraño hechizo"
3.	Anonimo, La caja de Pandora ha avuto grande successo nella sua prima esibizione, "Il Giornale d'Italia", 19 Novembre 1929 "Il ruolo di questa Lulù è sostenuto dalla bella e intelligente artista nordamericana Louise Brooks (...) Louise Brooks ottenne in questo film un altro grande trionfo che la consacra definitivamente come la “stella” più interessante del cinematografo"
*CANADA*
A SOCIAL CELEBRITY

1.	*Anonimo, At the Capitol, "Montreal Gazette", April 19, 1926* "Kitty is most attractively played by a new-comer to the screen, Louise Brooks who possesses piquant charm and ability as an actress"

*LOVE 'EM AND LEAVE 'EM*

1.	*Anonimo, The new films, "The Citizen", February 7, 1927* "Evelyn Brent is surprisingly good as Mame, the department store clerk, while Louise Brooks, while still a little immature, is a dazzling screen figure who is destined to reach stardom"
2.	*Anonimo, In movieland, "Manitoba Free Press", March 28, 1927* "Louise Brooks, a rather unusual studio type, has the role of the disagreeable little girl and she plays it with a sort of feline grace. She is kittenish at all times, even when she shows her claws"

In Beggars of life, a new Louise Brooks bursts forth to grasp the first big chance of her career"
