Lyrical Beauty.

"What Price Glory," in which she appeared as the French girl whom roistering marines loved and left, was her first success. In a version of Tolstoi's "Resurrection": she changed miraculously from in- nocent peasant-girl to distraught child-mother, and again to harden- ed prisoner, and astonished by the sureness of touch with which she took the scenes showing her rise from degradation to self-abnegation and self-respect.

Ramona,' not a good film though a pretty one, gave her a simpler and more touching part, one where her dark and lyrical beauty found its richest setting.

Millions of filmgoers all over the world already know and admire her as an actress. She has grace of movement, plastic beauty of fea tures, fire as well as restraint, and a most surprising self-possession.

But Misa del Rio is still myster ious. Few stories have ever been told about her personal life; no one knows her favourite food, her hobbies, whether she is capricious or tractable, whether she professes hedonism or idealism. The person- ality on the screen is all that her public knows.

"Hot News." -

Hot News 19 novel and amus- ing Miss Bebe Daniels, is a heroine who determines to show & conceited topical film cameraman that she can outwit him at his own game. And she certainly does!

The climax is incredibly comical- both the heroine and the hero manage to get into a notable futic tica from which all cameramen have been excluded. They find themselves forced to execute an Apache dance. The circumstances under which they do it make this dance, one of the most hilarious things seen on the screen for some time.

The dance is followed by a real thrill, as the heroine all unsuspect- ed manages to film a crime which. takes, place mysteriously at the function. The villain discovers it, hero and heroine are kidnapped, there is a chase, aeroplanes and armoured cruisers, and firearms and high jinks of all kinds. This picture is a saucy, swift piece of first-rate fun.
