MOVIE NOTES
Bebe Daniels Has Great Time in
"rho Manicure Girl"
For half an hour the big lights
buzzed and the clicking of the cam-
eras alternated with the voics of
the director. For half an hour
Hale Hamilton. well known stage
star. sat in Madame Flora's shop—-
or maybe it's a shoppe—having his
nails manicured. And for half an
hour Bebe Daniell. in the role of
the pretty Italian manicurist in "The
, Manicure Girl." held Hale's hand.
and industriously wielded a butler.
This should have made that gen-
tleman feel pretty line. but for some
reason it didn‘t seem to. After the
long scene was finished. he was ob-
served looking at his lingers with a
rueiul expression.
"I Just had 'em manicured before
I come to the studio." he said. "but
now it looks as if I'd have to get it
done all over again."
Bebe. doesn't defend her work.
he merely advises the audiences to
note how pleased ‘Mr.' Hamilton
looks in this scene in the picture.
“The Manicure Girl" is Bebe‘l
latest Paramount starring picture.
which is the feature at the Regent
theatre today and tomorrow. Ham-
ilton has a prominent role in sup-
port cf the star. Edmund Burns is
leading man. Others are Dorothy
Cumming, Ann Brody and Mary
Foy. '
