somehow we almost always have the idea that a movie queen is a queen in all respects-that she lives in
 flxury-is waited on hand and foot by ebony servanfs-hat her bed is of silk and her pillows are of satin that she lives in a palace with jewel ed pillars and gold arches-al1 this surrounds our own favorite movie star that is, if We have sufficient imag- ination!
 But here's one who smashes our ideas all ito smithereens! That is, all but one. For Corinne Griffith | lives in more or less prosaic hotel in New York city, is waited on what little of it is done, by her own of luxury-and heaps of comfort regular twentieth century comfort, But there's Zone illusion that she has permitted us to keep, that's the silk bed and satin pillows-see picture above For Corinne insists on a silk and lace coverlet over her linen sheets and down comics and she also insists on satin pillcws-but, she fur ther refuses to use pillows that are made by others than herselfi She Sews Fine Seam. In simpler English-Corinne, see above,-is an island of 1oveliness com pletely surrounded by pillows made by her own dainty fngersi
 So. when Corinne isn't working at the big Vitagraph studios in New York, she is sitting in her own little sitting room in the Hotel des Ar tfstes, New York, with her. dear little Southern mother, sewing a fine seam''-making sofa pillows.
 But Corinne has another hobby that's also in the picture. He's thorough bred Pomeranian - named Billy and he goes almost everywhere his little mistress does.
 Corinne is convent-bred, for when quite young she was sent to the Con vent of the Sacred Heart in New Or leans Her ambition was always to become a dancer, but see what Fate did to that:
 Her beauty was a matter of con- ment in social circles so when the time came for annual Mardi GraS, the elite decided that the crown of beauty should be put on Corinne's tiny brown head.
