THE PLOUGH AND THE STARS
"The Plough and the Stars" showing at the Oriental Theatre on Friday and Saturday, halled as one of the important pictures of the year, brings Barbara Stanwyck and Preston Foster in the principal roles.
The story is based on the shat- tering effect of separation on Young Dublin couple, whose lives are twisted and whose love £1 tortured, when the husband, de- spite his wife's pleas, takes hie place as a combatant in the street fighting. To give a full and vivid panorama of the comedy as well as the tragedy and near-tragedy of this period, the story also shows the effect on a group of tenement dwellers who represent a cross section of Dublin at that period.

When the new art of motion pictures began to
boom, Dawn hopped on his "horse one" fine morning, and rode into Hollywood. where he was immediately hired as an "extra."
The art of make-up intrigued hun, from the first with his superior knowledge of painting and sculpture, he was able to create many interesting characterizations with the aid of a medium new to him, namely, grease-paint,
