CAMEO GIRL MAKES DECISION
To Remain With American Movie Producers

After serious consideration Of numer-
Gus offers from foreign film producers,
the beautiful Dolores Casinelli, known
wherever there are motion picture the
aters as the cameo girl" has decided
TO stand by the American producer
Miss Casinelli, it is learned, Is about
to start work in an elaborate feature
production, in which she will be starred.
The name OF the producer has not been
made public, but the picture will be
filmed in the East with capable sup
porting cast. Two of Miss Casinelli's
most recent pictures have been "The
Right to Lie" and THE Web Of Lies"
Black hair and large, expressive, hazel
eyes, together with lustrous black hair
make Miss Casinelli a screen beauty of
excellent Photographic possibilities and
that she is genuinely clever in her acting
can not be overlooked.

It's about time to call a halt to

The last offender to the intelligence
Of theatergoers Is a thing called "a
Chance Every Girl Takes" which OPENED
at the Murat last night for two day
engagement. The poor girl in the story
doesn't take the chance that the actors
do IN attempting to present such melO-
dramatic 10. 20 and 30-cent bunk to an
Indianapolis public at a dollar and q
half scale
How this attraction with its cheap
settings, poor acting and cheap melo-
dramatic atmosphere landed at the
Murat is more than I know. This line
of melodramtic cheapness might be
proper for a 30-cent tent show on n lot
in n small town. But why wish it on
any bodyT
1t is a pity that men and women must
take part in such unintelligent junk as
this senseless offering. The cast In
cludes Hilda Helstrom, Fred J. Marteli,
