screen for many girls. Most
of them have sunk into oblivion
after their first effort before the

mounted the ladder of achieve
ment steadily, increasing their
fame and popularity with each
new release.
Prominent among these is
Shannon Day, a petite little
creature, brimful of pep and ros-
sessed Of that one absolutely
necessary quality for success In
pictures-a screen personality.
In her latest effort. the role Of
the little French model In THE

called upon for some intensely
dramatic work and she carries
the part with the eass Of Broad

Another unusual phase OF her
connection with the Z!egfold
Follies Is that she is one Of the
comparatively few New York
girls who have qualified for that
famous aggregation. Most OF the
ziegfeid girls come from out ot
town, Miss Day was under Flo

years, starting in the Foilies and
graduating to the Midnight
