can dispose Of ones cattle. The girl,
with Dan McMasters, who brought her
the news; her trusty ranch foreman

ney constitutes one of the most en-
crossing and fascinating glimpses of
American life in the West during the
Cos.

Gloria S MARQUIS.

4 y intimate description of the Mar
1 quis de Ia F'alaise, who was mar
ried to Gloria Swanson, the American
motion picture actress, in Paris. has
been furnished through the Para
mount Long Island studio by Forrest
Halsey, the playwright and scenario
writer, who spent six months in Paris
during the filming of Madame Sans
Gene"
Mr.. Halsey is said to be the only
person in the United States who
knows the marquis intimately, and
what he has to say of him no doubt
will be of interest to motion picture
devotees.
Il introduced the Marquis de la
Falaise to Miss Swanson" explains
Mr.. Halsey. I'm that way perhaps I
might be considered the father of
the romance. They consider me so, as
this morning 1 received a cablegram,
signed by both of them saying, Your
children have done it
"E'alaise first came into the unit to
represent a number of young men of
money who were ambitious to invest
in motion pictures in France. They
were anxious to learn American
methods. The first thing he asked us
to do in the unit was to cut off his
title; his chair on the set was marked
Mr.. Falaise.' The blood of the Hen
nesseys which created business in
dustry is strong in FalaiSe.
Evening star., 1925-02-08

HE worked with devotion and en-
and the last to leave. None of US
thought the enthusiasm would con-
tinue, but it did and seemed to grow.
''Falaise does not resemble at all
the traditional French marquis: he
looks like an athletic young Irish
American. He has never been to
America, but one of his great ambi-
tions is to be taken for an American
live-wire business man. He carries
American money in his pocket and it
amuses him highly when paying a
bill where he is not known to have
the walters take him for an Ameri-
can. Needless to say that his aristo-
cratic family fail to understand this
ambition. The truth of the matter is
that the idle life of the Partisan gild-
ed youth, to which he was born, never
satisfied him, and when the movies
came along with a chance to turn his
Irish energy into work he found his
niche.
THE romance began very slowly, as
both Miss Swanson and FIalaise were
devoting themselves strictly to the
businss of making a picture under
very difficult circumstances. Movie
situations do happen in real life. I
think both youngsters were deeply in
love with each other without know
ing it. Well, they know it now; so
does all Paris and America"

This picture, by the way, has Wash

being made at the United Studios at
Hollywood, one of the largest picture
plants in the world, which, eight
years ago, were built by Kane. At that

disposing of his plant; and after two
years of service, most Of which was

four decorations for bravery.
At the close Of the war he was

From the standpoint of novelty
the picture is said to be remarkable.
1t tells a simple story in such a grip

acter of the old doorman, who is the
hero of Carl Mayors story, stands out
in cameo clarity. Mayer is known in
this Country as the author Of DIR

Prince to Play in Pictures.

CARLrLAEMMLE announces that he
has signed a long-term contract
with Prince Youcca Troubetzkoy,
whose first picture work in this coun-
try will be in THE Roofs of New
York" to be filmed entirely in New
York City.
The prince is young aristocrat,
scion of one of the noted old Russian
families. During the war the i'm
mense fortune possessed by the fam
lily was lost. Since that time the
prince has developed a talent for act
ing and has been doing picture work
in Europe.
He is described as extremely hand
some, six feet tall, about % years of
age, with a figure like a drill sergeant.
He is said to speak English almost
as well as he does Russian, French
and German.
This is the princes first visit to
New York, although the Troubetzkoy
family is probably better known in
America than any other Russian
aristocratic name. The noted sculp-
tor, Paul TroubetZkoy, is one of his
uncles, and the painter Pierre Trou-
betzkoy, who married Amelie Reeves,
the writer, is another uncle. They
have a beautiful home in Albermarle
County, Va.

intimate friend of Prince Cyril, whose
