At THE PALACE FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY

Olive Thomas, who will be seen in
the first of her series of SelZnick Pic
lures, "Upst airs anu Down" on Friday
and Saturday at the Palace theatre.
has been called the most beautiful girl
in America and justly so. With her
gorgeous mass of wavy chestnut hair
and shining eyes of deep sea blue, her
superb form and lovely face, Miss
Thomas most assuredly deserves the
title bestowed on her.
When this dainty bit Of femininity
came to New York a few years ago
from her home in Pennsylvania, she
made this blase town sit up and take
notice. She created a sensation. She
began her career the way many beau
tiful girls ds-in the Follies. For
three years she continued to attract
nation wide attention in the show
which is reputed to contain the most
beautiful girls in the country.
During this time, she was alse a
model for the great American painter,
Harrison Fisher. 1t was he who label
ed her the bost beautiful girl in Am
erica" She also posed for Raphael
Kirchner and Haskal Coffin, who made
several portraits of her which have
graced magazine covers and the walls
of notables' homes
Miss Thomas is the first Selznck
star and will make a series of eight
pictures year for that company. Her
first picture. Upstairs and Down" is
a delightful comedy plus drama about
a. house party given in the elite Of
Long Island society and the scrapes
and troubles of the baby vamp.' Alice
Chesterton. the role ably portrayed by
Miss Thomas.
