GIRL
 THEME OF FILM TrianOn Shows Wander ing Girls As Feature
 This Week

To make picture dealing with run away girls entertaining and thorough ly pleasing without being too critical. too preachy. or using risque scenes to illustrate the authors thoughts. is no easy task for any director, but in Wandering Daughters" First Ma tional attraction at the Trianon this week, James Young, who directed Guy Bates Posts two initial screen success es, The Masquerader" and "Omar the Tentmaker," has accomplished the feat with unusual grace.
 Wandering Daughters" deals with exactly what it's title suggests, but Dana Burnet, its author, had a num- Der of unique and original sequences to put into the story.
 Marguerite de La Motte and Mar jorie Daw, two beautiful young players of interesting contrast in type, have been given the principal girl roles in the picture and acquit themselves creditably. The usually quiet, fright ened little Marjorie turns out to be a gay young miss with will of her own while Marguerite adds charm to the part of the girl who had will power enough to withstand life's tempting ad- ventures.
 Unquestionably first honors among the men should go to William V. Mong

Mae Busch is Lou's friend, and George, SiegmaR the Malamute man. The Metro version of the poem goes back to the years before the killing in the Alaskan saloon, and shows the early married life of Lou and Jim.
 Another outstanding feature of the vaudeville bill will be offered by Frank Terry, with his character songs and chatter in MT. Booze" in which he is said to be both versatile and original.

 The chief setting of the story is the Prater, where clown clothes hid aching hearts and smiles covered tragedies. The people of the famous American carnival center, Coney Island, have proven in- teresting to many writers, and those of the Prater have the same faults, vir- tues and foibles. Merry Go Round" is a cross section of a portion of life not familiar to the world in general, but with it's counterpart in some sense in Coney Island.
