Former Triangle Star To Be Seen in
Her First Big Selznick Picture.

which is scheduled to appear at the
Orpheum under the new policy of
the mana cement, will be "Panthea,'
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and

ed. Miss Talmadge attracted the at
tention of Selznick in her work in
minor roles in the Triangle studios.
When her contract with the Griffith
people expired she was offered an
opportunity to form corporation of
her own and was added to the list of
Selznick-Pictures stars.
'Panthea" is her first production
under the new arrangement. In this
film version of the drama by Monck-
ton Hoffe, Miss Talmadge plays the
role made famous on the stage in this

chance of her career.

culated to hold the interest of picture
patrons. The story begins in Russia
with Panthea fleeing from the net of
the dreaded secret police who have
falsely accused her of being a revolu-
zionist. Escaping to England she
marries a young composer and the
