GLORIA REMAINS
AS Is HER
HABIT

So powerfully has Miss Gloria
Swanson hit that little black circle
called the ..buIPs-eye" with her
Love Of sunya" Eat the Columbia
this week; a holdover from last
that rumors are out to the effect
that a club Is to be formed honor
ing her and holding a big grape
juice festival and parade every
time new Swanson picture is
released. Be that as it may. her
success with this particular film
warrants the formation Of such an
order.
Since this is Miss Swanson's first
plunge as an independent she did
well to pick up a story with as
strong a plot as "Sunya's." and
with the expert photography and
technique SO much in evidence all
the way through.
Those who didn't go last week
and who will doubtless go this,
will perhaps hasten their steps
upon learning that the cinema's
opening scenes are certainly diff.
ferent. They lay a theme that's
followed completely through the
story and show prime dirty work
by a high priest of some out
landish Egyptian god, handful of
centuries ago.
There is also a Neal Burns
comedy and graphic news reel.

Will Ferry, in frog costume

went through a number of con-

''Three Hours in addition, is
a film of peculiar quality: it

sort of paradox; it never becomes

Its emotional intensity is height
