with which she displays these
styles to the best possible advan-
tase while she draws . character
isation which critics say will live
as one Of the masterpieces of the
screen. Not only is there a wealth
Of wearing apparel par excellence
shown in this play. but the rare
taste ia bric-a-brac and other
household articles, including finer
art, is said to be most appealing.
The producers claim they have only
used the genuine, most expensive
articles so far as costumes and
props" are concerned, and they
say the women can depend upon it
that they are the very ecme OF per-

WOMEN GOLF STARS
 WIDELY DIFFERENT
Miss Stirling and Miss Leitch
 Present Opposite Types

Miss Alexa Stirling-:4, slightly built and giriish-presents direct contrast to Miss Cecil Leitch, the 4 English woman's golf champion whom sbe'n likely meet in tho cham pionship matches this month on Scot tish links
 The girl from Georgia. our Ameri- can champion, is one of those types of ourdoor girls who has developed her golf game in spite of her physical handicap of being small.
 Miss Leitch. on the other hand. is the super-woman type. She is strong, rugged and large.
 She Is called the Babe Ruth" of tho English golf links.
 Her drives carry from 20 to 30 yards farther than those of Miss Strings. There is nothing feminine about her game.
 Miss Stirling's chances to win. if the two national champions do meet, will rest In the fact that she is more skilled in tha short game.
 While the Atlanta girl can drive the ball long distances. too. yet she is outclassed in this by the English champion
 Miss Stirling is the most skilled American woman ever to invade Eng land.
 She possesses the ideal competitive temperament.
 Miss Leitch comes from a family of Britons noted for their great strength. She won the national title in England in 1914 out of a field of 166 entries.
 Last year she repeated in a field that contained four ranking players from America
 She outclasses all women eompeti- tors in England SO far that she fre- quentiy engages In matches with the men professionals and shows them up.
 Recently she played against Cyril Tolley. the English pro champion, and finished ahead of him.
 If these two champions clash in the final round in Scotland it will be a battle between Miss Leitch's Babe Ruth drives and Miss Strings skilled golf wrists.
