Here is a film that will remain in your memory. It brushes you against the kind of sordid life you soldom see but which exists-every day-every night-in any politan city. The human back ground, against which Director W 5. Van Dyke presents this power ful story, is impressively symbolic Phillips Holmes heads a brilliant cast in this daring film, portraying a story of unequaled sensationalism, taking the erookedness of a night court magistrate for its impelling motivation. Walter Huston, as the corrupt jurist, presents a striking characterization.

A king, Alfonso of Spain, gave ber her name. Damita, which means "little lady." It was in her early career as a dancer, when she appeared by royal command before the Spanish court.
Prince Louis Ferdinand, son of the former German Crown Prince, wanted to marry her. She met him

Drian, painter of royalty, did her portrait in oils, and it was in the famous artist's studio that she met. the Prince of Wales and his bro- ther, Prince George, who were sit- ting for portraits at the same time.
Lily first saw the light of day in Paris. Her mother was an actress, and because of the transient life of the family, the girl was placed near Lisbon. Until in convent her eighth year she was educated in convents in Spain and Greece.
Already dreaming of the stage and the entertainment world, Lily persuaded her another to take her from a convent to where she could receive training toward her goal. Enrolled in the Conservatoire Danc ing School of Belgium, she remain- ed there antil the war.
