uniform, her princely regalia, and
smart and dspper in the disguise of a
crown prince of that famous and fic-
.tious land of Graustark. Miss Davis
has been busy most of the week on q
mountainous pass far from civiliza-

Z. incidentally, Miss Davies was Wis
tied at the studio on Monday last by
Anthony Asquith, son Of the former
premier of Great Britain. The young
sEnglishman commented enthusiastic
ally upon the resemblance of the star
TO the young Prin-e of Wales, and
fsaid he considered her makeup re-
smarkably convincing. Of course in
the story Miss Davies is impersonating
"a crown prince of Graustark, but the
sstyle of uniform, the bearing, and the
general aspect is sid by those in a
position to know, to be most realistic.

While the men are decking them
selves out in jewels, the smart young

avidity to the vogue for the sleek hair

appeared at a recent important pre-

with both ears in full view, these
stars set the new vogue which has
been used effectively BY Marion Da-
vies. Miss Davies has been reluctant
to adopt this style which she con-
eiders a bit conspicuous, but when the
demands of her new picture role made
II unavoidable she discovered that for
her, too, the mode was most becom-
ing.
