OF course some stars don't do this
thing, and that is why they never
give "a convincing portrayal OF any

Such is not the case with Marion
Davies, talented young star OF Cos

themselves by their location to
much interesting observation. Miss
Davies takes full advantage of this.
She is to be found on the ever
colorful. ever congested, ever noisy

shoes shined in a funny, dark little
Italian shop, where IL the appoint
