the power Of suggestion she has
developed genuine case, and is
en- route East, and from there to
the French Riviera, travelling so
fast she hopes the sniffles won't
be able to keep up with her, and
she will thus drop them here or

Mervyn LIE Roy, one Of our
finest producer-directors, started
his career as an actor at such
an early age that his first role
was as a papoose in "The Squaw
Man" in it's San Francisco pro

the way, which served to start
Cecil B. DeMille as a movie di-
rector, and was one Of Jesse
L.asky's pristine productions.
