TALE WITH A REAL IRISH COLLEEN IN THE LEAD

Anyway the fairies of the lakes. were certainly good to little' Mau- reen O'Sullivan. until only a couple. [of years ago just a pretty Irish colleen running to school with her books, and to mass on Sunday with ao' thought of the stage, the screen or the gay outside world.

Then John McCormack, the great Irish lenar, went to Ireland to make a

picture. He wanted an Irish girl for his lead, and more than one hundred Inases responded to the call. None of them would do. So far as McCormack was concerned, they all lacked the per- sonality, the beauty or the warm charm that he wanted for his heroine.

Then on the road one day, Mau- reen O'Sullivan drifted across the off path of the tenor. Somewhere in the boga the leperchauce must have laughed, for not senter "did John see little Maureen than he said, "There's the girl."

And that's how Maureen O'Sulli- van happened to go to Hollywood where she scored such a hit that she has been busy ever sinet, and that is how she went on to success after success until she landed in the lead- ing role of "The Silver Lining," which comes to the King's Theatre next attraction.

Little Mauren, known to mil- lions of screen fans as the wistful Irish lassic, will be seen in an e- tirely different role in "The Silver Lining," the first of a series of Patrician Pictures to be directed by Alan Crosland.

Heretofore Miss O'Sullivan has been confined to youthful delinea- tions. Now she is stepping out. Alan Grosland, famous director, made the discovery that she possess ed splendid dramatic qualities. In "The Silver Lining" Maureen makes a strong bid for dramatic acting bonours that comes well within the realm of "triumphe.

The selection of Warner Baxter for the leading role is the result of his new popularity since his work in 42nd Street" and "I Loved You Wednesday." Since it was first hinted that Fox would make the picture, in which William Farnum scared to fame as "Sidney Carton" in 1927, every male star in Hollywood has been offered for the dual role.
