world premiere It was the
unanimous and loudly expressed
verdict of critics. theatrical man

beautiful star is not only an
actress of high and unique. sta

personality of the screen.

musical albums. pon1padours and
the bicycle craze when the Grau-
stark books were perused by
the million. Sidney Franklin,
who directed it, might have
turned out a stuffy. cloak-and-

produced a really excellent tale,
full of comedy. s.'undly played

When this young lady was born

but Sally O'Neil was adopted by
ner for professional purposes.
Most of Sally's early life was
spent in Bayonne, ~. j.. her
birthplace, but her education was
received at the Notre Dame Con-
vent in New York city.
Without Miss O'Neil's aid, the
Noonan clan has heaped consid-
cradle fame upon itself. Her
father, who died a few years ago,
was Judge Thomas r. Noonan, OF
New Jersey. Before her mother
was married, she was an opera
singer, under the name OF Han
nah Kelly. She was a protege
of George w. Childs, of the Pub

Of the Costello family, famous
Irish actors who played all over

Angeles was not Tor that purpose.
However. while some struggle
for fame for years without sue
cess, others have it literally thrust
upon them, Sally was one OF the
latter. Marshall Neilan, the

Mr.. Shaw has made nine COM

in this country.
The play is being translated

For this unusual novelty, Mana

A specially constructed turntable

the offering gives the impression
that an actual race has been seen
from start TO finish.
King of the Turf has its other
moments of conflict and romance.
The race is the big moment. The
story is laid in Kentucky. the
central figure a Kentucky colonel
to whom the stud book and the
Bible are the only things that
exist between covers. Comes the
big race with the issue a ire
