MISS FARRAR
COM ING SOON
IN BIC PLAY

The wonderfully vivid, exotic
personality of Geraldine Farrar
has endowed her with a screen
fascination that 1t is hard to re-
sist. Every role she has portrayed
since her entry into the photoplay
field has been SO colored by her
personality that none of them can
be forgotten. Especially in tense
dramatic work does the grand
opera star excel.
1.-THE Woman God Forgot" an
elaborate spectacle of the days of
Montezuma, comes to the Colonial
Sunday, with Miss Farrar present
ed in the powerful role of Tezca,
daughter of the Aztec emperor. 1t
is one of those barbaric roles in
which this star excels.
The pictureplay is very elabor-
ate and required one of the big
gest sets ever constructed in any
motion picture--that of temple
over 200 feet in height.

She Wears a New
Gown Each Day

Nine. Makarenka is one of the
most beautifully gowned women
on the American stage. In her
act, Dream of the Orient" at
Pantages this week she wears
several creations which she de-
signed herself. Performance aft
er performance she appears in this
song and dance advertisement, and
each appearance sees her in a diff
ferent gown. Her art in dressing
extends also to the staging of her
play. 1t is richly done in exQui-
site taste.
