to haze put on wraps of fur,
emitting step-ins and other
things.

SHE WILL GUIDE
THE ANGELS
ACTIVITIES

Lois Weber, one of the few wo-
men ever to become successful mo-
ton picture directors, has been
signed by the DeMolle studio to
direct Leatrice joys next starring
picture, 1.-THE ANGEL of Broadway"
This screen play, which was
written for Miss JOY by Lenore
Coffee, is scheduled for early pro-
duction. It is played out against
q background of New York's slums,
presenting, in what it is hoped will
will prove a fascinating manner,
the activities of the Salvation
Army.
Miss Weber retired from mo-
ton picture direction several
months ago, but yielded to the
pleas of the DeMille studio Off
ciais to handle the megaphone on
'The Angel Of Broadway" after
q perusal of Miss Coffee's story
which she declares to be one of
the finest dramatic pieces she
ever has read.
Miss Weber's last picture, 1.-THE
Marriage Clause" will be re-
membered as one Of the produc.
tons Of last year.

In the Swim

Edith Thornton loves to swim.
When she saw the technical staff
preparing the swimming pool for a
lavish cabaret entertainment for
her Pathe picture, THE Little
Firebrand," and realized that she
was to be "off stage" SO to speak,
for this scene, she got an idea.
Going to Charles Huttchison, who
directed "The Little Firebrand, /"
she coaxed him to let her put on a
bathing suit and be one OF the
chorus that dances on the edge of
the pool and then dives in, never to
be seen again. AS Miss Thornton
is the wife of Charles Hutchinson
in private life, needless to say she
knew how to get her own way.

DID THEY FOOL
SWEET POLA
AND MAE?

Here goes another Illusion Of
the movies.
Pola Negri, it seems, became
no more a princess by marriage
than her sister-in-law Mae MUIR
ray, who is noe more a princess
by marriage than your ice mans
wife.
The fact is that Pola's new
husband, Prince" Serge MIDI.
vani, and Macs prince" David,
who is his brother. are just nice
boys from good niddle-class
family in the Russian province
of Georgia.
This is the discovery made by
Photoplay Magazine, which en-.
gagged a Slavonic genealogist to
investigate the brothers to their
titles Of nobility. His report
follows:
"The name is Mdivani, Mdivanov
being the Russified form. It does
not figure in the list OF princely
families of Georgian Caucasian
derivation, which was sanctioned
by the government in 1885,. and
which is given in Dolgorukov's
Russian genealogy.
IA lady who is half Georgian
and a native of Tiflis, says that
she knew the Mdivani family at
Tiflis that they are OF the COM
mon gentry and do not belong to
the titled nobility. Mr.. NJ, an
other Russian, never has heard
of a Prince Mdivani.
"Mdivani, senior, commanded the
Erivan regiment and got q high
promotion during the war. II he
had been a prince, that fact
would have been noted in the Of
fetal list Of the Russian general
staff,
'It apepars that an American
became interested in the Mdivant
boys at the time of the Menshe-
vik revolution in Georgia and
brought them to this country. The
mother is a Russian and the fam
lily includes two sons and three
daughters"

Thu blonde actress who comes to

ences which make her life story

uprising brought about conditions
which made any further study
impossible in public institutions,
Nera's family Travelled to various
russian cities in an effort to find
FOOD. Potatoes formed their prin-
clpal item OF diet. and it was
pften necessary to walk many
miles for a small supply of these.
In 1922 Miss Voronina did con-
siderable stenographic work but
II was always at home, since she
reared to expose herself to the
unbridled attentions of the Boil
sheviki. Finally compelled to flee
the country, she crossed the from

her first motion picture work for

Eventually stardom was given
her by Berlin's famous UFA or
