YANGTZE RIVEN-SOUTH CHANNEL ENTRANCE,

Miss Andra, who is really the Baroness Ferr Freifran Vou und Zu Woicha, bears the reputation of being Europe's best-dressed woman, Her expenditure on clothes alopo, runs to a minimum of 840,000 % year. It's a lot of money, „but that, says Miss Andra, is the price of being well dressed..

During the preparations of "Eyes of the World," this famous continental star refused to be fitted by the studio costumer, on the grounds that her own Parisian clo. thes were far better than anything Hollywood could produes.

She proved her point by brings ing a 892,000 seal cont along, seven dresses averaging 1100 each And handkerchiefs which cost hor $25, each in custom fess. She won her point, and her right to weaT her own expensive things in the picture,

"Eyes of the World,” which Henry King directed, was adapted from the novel by Harold Bell Wright,

In this cast are Una Merkel, John Holland, Nance O'Neil, Brandon Hurst, Hugh Huntley, Frederic Burt and William Jeffery,
