a story that was crowned by the
French Academy, which for American
photoplay purposes has been retltleo

Probably millions Of the French
people had read Benoit's novel and
each reader. doubtless, had his or her
own idea of its heroine. So that when
NJ Feyder approached the dilemma OF
visualizing her on the screen he wise.
ly decided to let those readers them
selves select the woman who was &c
represent her.
American fashion, a newspaper con.
test was at once invoked and the
votes cast gave the preference OF
191 ,S41 of the 100000 voters for Stacia
Napierkowska. who. with the picture
will be introduced as new French
film star.
After the photoplay had been made
and exhibited in Paris, where it ran
for year and is still being exhibited
it excited a storm of protest because
the new star was said to have worn
50 100000 worth Of jewelry when the
picture was filmed. This was consfd-
cred monstrouS at time whe
France economically was in such sore
straits and the French people them

suits of the recent war.
An explanation, however. that the
jewelry had been borrowed from the
leading jewellers of Paris. under heavy
bond for its safe return. apparently
was considered satisfactory and the
picture was permitted to continue on
it's own merits. to win the favor and
the fame which now brings it to
