As a patron of the motion picture,
Mawame Petrova is a new recruit.
for until very recently she has al

tions which she herself now admits

these old beliefs of hers completely

Rothaphfel of a huge silver loving
cup in token of her appreciation Of
his exquisite method of presenting her
first Paramount picture. The cup
is TO remain in Manager Rothapfels
hands his year and then go to some
other manager in another part of the
country. Alta today.
