It is an unusual city these days
that has not experienced come sort
of beauty contest the inspiration for
which is the possibility of the win-
ner obtaining stardom in motion
pictures. Just how much value these
contests have. is a. subject of much
dispute in motion picture circles.
In this connection it is of interest
to learn that Mary Philbin. star of
"Fifth Avenue 'Models." adapted
from Muriel Hine‘g best seller,
"The Best in Life." to be shown at
the Regent theatre tomorrow. won
her entrance into motion pictures
through the medium of a beauty
contest held in Chicago by a great
fraternal organization. the Elks.
Therefore: of course. Miss Philbin
has faith in the possibilities of such
contests.
However, playing with Miss Phil-
bin in the picture is _Rosemary
Theby. who takes the part of a.
vampish woman or social position,
and Miss Theby entered motion pic-
ture work through the medium of
a St. Louis dramatic school.
“I believe in beauty contests.”
Miss Theby stated. “For they bring
the girl into the limelight. but that
is all it does unless she has the dra-
matic instinct." Norman Kerry has

History comes to life in all its

the powerful novel of the same

Those who are familiar with the
story know that it is u ritten around

and violent period of American his.
tory4-the rush of the pioneers in
1876 from their farms in the east to
the buffalo flelds of the far west.
Not a. small measure or the suc-
cess of the photoplay is due to the
skillful adaption of Lucien Hubbard
and the directorial shrewdness to!

the film that would contribute to an
accurate and faithful portrayal of
the old west. The hardships and
primtions of the sturdy pioneers is

Stone, Florence Vi-
dor and Low Cody
A small but powerful cast will be
seen in John M. Stahl's new picture.
“Husbands and Lovers." which comes
to the Rialto theater tonight. Prac-
tically all of the story is carried by
three characters. portrayed by Low-
is S. Stone. Florence Yidor and Low
Cody.
Each a recognized star in his or
hercown right. these three artists
make a particularly wellobalanced
trio to head this new Stahl cast.
Stone and Cody were both on the
stage before their triumphant ca-
reers in motion pictures. while
Miss Vldor.~ although without the
advantages of a long stage experi-
ence, has won a screen follow'ring
that stamps her as one of the most
1 popular girls in the films.
"Husbands and ' Lovers" is a.
clever comedy-drama. of married

PREFER MEN
"Do you think women or to-day
want‘ caveman husbands?" The
question was addressed to Alice
Terry. who has just stepped off the
"set." of "The Great Divide." She
leaned back in a. canvas camp chair
at the Metro-Goldwyn-leayer studi-
os. her hands clasped behind her
head and her eyes ga..ing thought-
fully over to the scene where dl~
rector Reginald Barker and his as-
sistants were scurrying about mak-
ing ready for the next "shot."
mWomen do not want ready-made
men for husbands." There was a.
brief pause and then she continued
with a certainty that apparently
came from having thought of the
subject many times before.
"Of course. a. great deal depends
upon the mental makeup of the

will say that although 5 o may not

ceive that kind of treatment the . be
tied to the other kind—the kind that
is always meddling in his wife's end
of the household.
“A woman does not want a. man.

contrary, she wants to leave the im-

so small and obscure was her part.
She continue playing small parts
and it was not until Mr. Ingram be—
gun the ask of finding a cast for
“Hearts Are Trumps” that her real
Chance came.
Miss Terry first appeared in one
of the big stages at the Metro
Studio along with several other can-
didates for parts in the picture. She
had no more than walked across the
stage when Mr. lngr urn announced
that. he could. use her. He did not
tell her then that she was to have
the leading feminine role. for al-
though he secretly had reached this
decision. he did not want. her to
know then for fear she might wor-
ry over the responsibility during the
two weeks before the filming of the
picture was to start. which in turn
might hamper her work.
Upon the completion of “Hearts
Are Trumps" Mr. Ingram signed her
for the chief feminine part in “The
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
Others of Mr. Ingram“: pictures
featuring Miss Terry were: “The
Prisoner of Zenda." during the mak-
ing of which Miss Terry became
Mrs. Ingram. “Where the Pavement
Ends." "Searamouche." and “The
Arab." The making of the last-
named picture took the company to
Tunis where Mr. Ingram purchased
a home and where he plans to re-
turn to live and to resume the, study
of sculpture. a. work which Was in-

Because of his interest in “The

friendship for Reginald Barker. Mr.
Ingram acquiesced to his, wife's

that production.
