NEW YORK, Feb. 9.--If you were asked to choose between the three most beautiful women in the world, whom would you select?
 If D. w. Griffith, famous movie di- rector, were to choose, wouldn't you begin Sto run over the names of your favorite movie actresses? However, you would be wrong,
 In making his selections before the Art Directors Club Mir Griffith said:
 "The three most beautiful faces I have seen are faces Of mature women.
 "One is Alexandra, the Dowager Queen of England, with that serene dignity and gracious sympathy and kindlneSs that come from generations of arstOcratic environment.
 The second is scrubwoman in a Pittsburg theater-a round. beautiful
The Cordova daily times., 1922-02-09

face, kindly and shrewd and under standing dignity of labor.
 "The third is Mrs. Harding, plain Ohio woman, now the first lady of the land. She has the nobility of the Queen, who she resembles, and she has that sturdy humanity of the char woman--a union I think could only exist in America.
 If I could show these three faces on the screen as they actually are, then the public would well declare motion pictures an art.
 In the light of MT. Griffith's selec- tion it is interesting to note that Mrs. Herbert Asquith, wife of the former British Premier, in her au- tobiography named the Dowager Queen of England as her concepton of the most beautiful woman.
