ACCOMPLISHMENTS

James Cruces screen production for
Paramount of "Mannequin," the story
by Fannie Hurst which won the $50
900 first prize IN Liberty Magazines
story contest, Will be shown at Loew's

The cast includes Alice Joyce,
Dolores Costello daughter of the ia

memory. Warner Baxter, ZaSu Pitts,
Walter Pidgeon tParamOunts new
leading mani, Freeman Wood and

The story reflects the consequences
of domestic frivolity and a mothers
casual attitude toward her infant
daughter which eliminates in a three
day separation of husband and wife,
thus giving TO d stupid and love
starved nurse the opportunity 10 ab-
| duct the infant. The nurse later falls
a prey to drink and squalor, while
the child escapes TO a settlement
house where she is reared to maturity
and from whence she starts her fight
for happiness with the stigma Of a
nameless origin. This inspires q
newspaper reporter to write a series
of articles on woman's apparent i'm
munity to punishment, which nearly
costs the girl her life when she is
brought to trial for the accidental
death of a man whose unwelcome
attentions she had resisted. This
trial, which is held before her own
father, as trial judge, however, proves
the turning point in her life.
