CIGNIFICANCE attached to the
y screen version of the Paramount
Artcraft picture, "Everywoman,
which will be the big feature at the
palace commencing Monday, January
o6 arises not alone from the popular
Character of the play ITSELF but from
The exceptional production and cast that
have beer given the production.
Effort was made to secure actors who
were ideally suited to the many parts.
As consequence the happy choice OF
Tiolet Heming to play the title role,
~ Wanda Hawley as Beauty, Theodore
Roberts as Wealth, Raymond Hatton
as Flattery, Irving Cummings as Pas
sion. Bebe Daniels as Vice, and so on.
, George II. Melford was chosen as di-
rector.
The gowns in particular are fea :
ture that will interest the feminine pho
toplay fans. A beauty chorus of hun
dreds Of girls wearing costumes that
ore said to rival any stage musical
comedy or spectacular production.
Especially effective scenes include the
banouet of wealth, the court Of King
love I, the street scene in New York
an New Years Eve, etc. The scene
wherein "Everywoman" makes her de-
hut in the theatre is sumptuous one,
and interesting from the point of view
that the setting showing the production
Of an extravaganza was staged at the
studio, the complete stage aud other
features being erected on one of the
studio stages.

a single scene is laid out of doors.
Maxwell Karger, director general,
pointed this out recently From the
first motion pictures have been able
to show with the utmost fidelity incl
dents taking place in the open. which
on the stage would be depicted with
painted scenery or merely described by
the characters. 1t may be said that in
the days when the cinema art was still
cropping toward the light it was this
capacity to show wildly outside life
that Kept it alive until its art was real
ly assured.
"But in Mr.. Hopwoods farce the en-
tire action takes place in one room dur
ing one evening"" Mr.. Karger contip-
ued. "In making the play into u pic
ture Miss Mathis and Mr.. Younger ex-
