"MansIauqhter"

"The most lavish scene since Joan the Woman!"
 That's what is said of the Roman bacchanal recently staged by Cecil B. DeMille for his latest Paramount production of "Manslaughter."
 Several years ago the same produc- CT gave to the screen his classic tale of the Maid of Orleans. At that time thousands of extras" clad in the picturesque costumes of the period, were to be seen daily around the stu dio and on the massive sets created for that picture.
 Since that date there have been many such scenes filmed at the West Coast home of Paramount pictures. Hundreds and even thousands of peo- pie have worked simultaneously be- fore the cameras. But it remained for Cecil B. DeMille to again set a new mark for sheer. spectacular splen dor. And he did it with the Roman scenes in "Manslaughter"
