Many Noted Screen Players In Polish Stars Latest,
 'The Spanish Dance

All Birmingham moving picture fans seem to have their attention centered on what is said to be Pola Negri's greatest achievement, The Spanish Dancer" which comes to the strand for one week, beginning Mon day.
 In the days of "The Spanish Dancer queens made their own hair pins. When Kathlyn Williams, who plays the role of Queen Isabelle, hunts for a hairpin on the elaborate dressing table in her bed chamber, she finds the 'makings," but she has the manual labor to do herself.
 Inquiry on this point revealed the fact that a well-furnished dressing table in the days when tho story of
 The Spanish Dancer" takes place, held about 100 articles for use in the toilette. Among them was a large cube of ordinary cork into which wires were stuck like pins in a cushion.
 These wires were used as hair-pins by great ladies of the day. A wire the size and length required was se- lected and twisted into the shape which would best secure a corner in the elaborate head-dress of the period Precious metals were used in the making of the wire
 Many of the ornaments which adorn the dressing table in "The Spanish Dancer" are antiques. When antiques of the period could not be found, articles were made from care fully drawn designs. The hairbrush

 Love was but a superficial passion and marriage only a matter of form. So reasoned Patricia Fentriss and sine laid her course accordingly. From one affair to the other she leaps with amazing rapidity. She plays with fire and glorles in the discomfort of her victims" and then she meets real love.
 But real love does not awaken a desire fCi marriage in Patricia, who reasons that marriage destroys love and romance and points to the mat rimonal failures of her set as proof, but. of course. the girl is wrong and she comes to a realization of this after passing through a number of experiences which could be expected to come to girl who reasoned as Patricia Fentriss did.
