TUNE COLLYER again comes through

Wine" which is described by Fox Films
as tragi-comedy picture of modern
life among the younger married set.
When little more than a year ago
an admiring friend suggested that June
Collyer meet Allan Dwan, the motion
picture director, then in New York, she
eagerly consented, feeling that to take
part in movie would be a pleasant in
terluce from the usual round of parties
and teas. She was then known as
Dorothea Heermance, daughter of a
wealthy lawyer and granddaughter of
Dan Collyer, famous stage comedian,
AS result, she was given the role
OF the society girl in that picture and
made such an excellent impression that
long term contract was offered.
Few girls would have hesitated to
accept but Miss Collyer did, for it
meant giving up an assured social po-
sition in New York society in exchange
for the grind of studio work and the
necessity of living far away from her
home and friends. But the lure of act
ing was so inbred that, much thrilled
and excited over her new adventure.
June Collyer and her mother were soon
on their way to Hollywood.
Since that time she has RAPIDLY
mounted the rungs of movie fame.

tn, actual historical locations in France
and Corsica, with Albert Dieudonne in
the title role, and with a mammoth
company of players Napoleon" is said
to present an entirely new dramatic
version of the life of the great French
Emperor.
According to the Motion Picture
Guild, it deals more with the spirit
and temperament of the famous gen.
eral himself than with hackneyed his
torical situations. While many OF the
great experiences in Napoleon's life are
presented. such as his love for jose
phine, his adventures in the italian
campaign, ETC., it is claimed that they
are incidental to a profound study of
the character of the man himself.

Canoe, the noted French director, and

been honored by being shown in the
National Opera, in Paris. Also it brings
to the screen many new technical and
