Trudy )" Screen Debut.

IN "Swim, Girl, SWIM" Bebe Daniels
new picture, which is a current at
traction this week, Gertrude Ederle,
first woman conqueror of the English
Channel. makes her screen debut.
The fact that the story was already
in production when it was found pos
sible to interrupt Miss Ederle's trans
continental tour sufficiently to press
her into service in an important role
is said to nave necessitated a hurried
trip on the part OF the aquatic star
from the scene Of her last booking to
the location where the company await
ed her.
So rushed. it is said was this Pull
man jump that Miss Ederle was met
by members of the producing organ

made up on the train, transferred i'm
mediately to an automobile and rushed
to location, where with only scant pre-
liminary preparation she was i'm
pressed into active work in some of
the most important scenes in the play.

whose box office drawing power was
largely in their own imagination or in

that fit better into our plans for the
continuing growth of an institution.
Directors who had lost freshness and
