Dalton is to be the picture at the

H. 1nce star, was born in Chicago in

and like many another girl had a
hard time to make her parents think
the same way. Following her gra-
duation from the academy her father
wanted her to study law, but she was
enough of pleader to persuade him
to let her try course in dramatic
art. And it has been success and
given the screen a talented and won
derful actress. She is appearing in
Paramount-Artcraft productions and
will be shown in Extravaganza,
a beautiful picture that pleases every.
