After several unsuccessful at

fitted it like a glove. Her ability TO
wear striking Oriental gowns, her
daintiness which has something OF
the exquisite about IL, the strange
expression n0her eyes that seems to
reflect something of which the poets
sing in their Northern sagas-a hint
of her Scan1inavian ancestry-made
her a perfect type for the romantic

Miss Swanson is the daughter of
Capt. Joseph T. Swanson, who was
in France with the American army.
Her mother was of French and Pol

quality that is both indefinable and

Mr.. DeMille was assisted in his pro-
duction of Don't Change Your Hus-

Today he Is just as uncouth, just
as awkward. but much wealthier. He
has had the cleverness to realize
that his drawl, his gum chewing, his
rustic appearance. all made the very
best background for his exceedingly
brilliant wit.
Whenever some big, expensive ex-
travaganza gave the appearance of
going to have a hard time to "get
over" wild effort was made to get
Will Rogers to do his stunt. He was
called in hurriedly and after he
came, success was assured. He
would say. on the opening night, af-
