AFFAIRS OF ANATOL| FEATURE AT STRAND|
Superb Cast of Well Known Stars Add to Value of the
 Production

Cecil B. DeMille, perhaps the fore most motion picture producer in the country, if not the world, displayed his genius at its best in his latest Paramount picture, "The Affairs of Anatol," which is at the Strand this week. From every standpoint-in- vestiture, it's all-star cast, sumptu- ousness of settings, brilliance of di- reotorial execution, richness of cos tunes, quality of story and general artistry--this picture marks dis tinct epoch in screen production or the decade.
 The story, written by Jeanie Mac pherson, and suggested by the fa- nous play by Arthur Schnitzler, deals with an impressionable young man of wealth who finds time to interest himself in the affairs of oth< CTS and who learns by practical ex- perience that it pays best to at tend to ones own affairs and let others do the same.
 The cast is superb and includes such stars as Wallace Reid, Glorla Swanson, Elliott Dexter, Bebe Dan- iels. Monte Blue, Wanda Hawley, Theodore Roberts. Agnes Ayres ana Theodore Koslosf. Their portrayaIs are artistic and add vastly to the value of the production. The pho tography by Alvin Wyckoff and Kari Struss is beautiful. Take 1t all ID ell this is perhaps the best picture thus far made by Cecil B. DeMille and that is saying a great deal.
