Corinne Here In
classified" TOMORROW

One of the most distinctive
beauties of the screen, Corinne
Griffith, First National star, was
born in Texarkana, Tex, and was
educated at Sophie Newconb Col
lege in New Orleans. Later the
family moved to Mineral Wells,
Texas, where her father prac-
ticed medicine.
Miss Griffith, seeking field
for aesthetic expression, went to
Dallas TO become a terpsichorean
attraction at the fashionable
Adolphus Hotel. She attracted
the attention of ROllin Sturgeon,
veteran cinema director, when
she won first prize in beauty
contest and started her screen
career in pictures under his d..
rection in Vitagraph three-reelers.
Later Vitagraph co-featured
her with Earle Williams in five
reel offerings, then featured her
in a series of o. Henry pictur-
nations and followed this with
nine starring vehicles for the now
celebrated beauty.
Remarkable work as a free
lance followed, her role in "Black
Oxen" attracting particular at
tention, this being the first of her
productions for First National. to
which concern she is now under
contract.
Her latest offering is "Classi-
fled" This is an adaptation from
a magazine story by Edna Ferber.

Miniature Ship Is
Wrecked In Sea

Motion picture directors are
depending but little on props
and camera trickery and less on
doubles, in these days of realism
on the screen. But frequently
there arises a problem which re-
quires quick ingenuity.
When they were filming
''Wreckage," the latest Banner
Production, featuring May ALI
son, Holmes Herbert, John MILAN
and Rosemary Theby. it was es-
sential TO present a shipwreck.
Obviously, no enormous vessel
could be sunk for the purpose of
a single scene.
According, Scott Dunlay, the
director, conferred with Ben Yer
schleiser and the entire staff. The
result was that a small craft was
acquired and fitted out to rep
resent an ocean liner. Aboard
this little boat the cast ventured
out in Pacific gale. A second
boat followed with the camera
man.
It was during this scene that
May Allison and Holmes Herbert
nearly lost their lives when a life
boat capsized throwing them both
into the sea- The scene turned
out 10 be one of the most realistic
and daring ever filmed, but some
Of the thrills in it were uninten-
tional. Miss Allison was taken
home suffering from nothing
worse than shock. but for few
minutes those who watched her
struggling in the water feared
that she had no chance.

the novel Salvage" by lola For

That's what's the matter with you!
Your blood is impoverished. You
