A woman who has gained hap- e piness only after suffering and £ et humiliation, who has come from poverty to luxury, from misunder- standing to love, is faced wih ‘the question of whether to ruin fher husband’s career and keep her happiness, or give up every- thing .that his political interests may . mot ‘ suffer. . That' is the thome of “The Golden Cocoon,” the Warner Bros.

Miss Chadwick is said to have scored a triumph in the Tole.

' Like the central figure in “The Miracie Man"” the preacher (?) here is surrounded by crooks and he fin redemption in the sam> way- falling in llove. So he starts small mission—one that travels ou wheels and the yokelry fall for his game. His fame spreads so rapidly that he is given ths job of saving the fallen in a city tal nacle. And James Kirkwood just-the ideal actor for the part. He is just one step ahead of th: sheriff ‘until he is caught. But ia building the suspense the director has -worked it out with keen un- derstanding and sympathy. Lithuanian Mounds Venerated at Graves VAROPIU, Lithuania, Feb. 7. -— Superstitious veneration at- 'taches to the hundredd of mounds which are to be found in north eastern Lithuania. Legends con- nect them with bloody battles of pagan times, when hefty Lithu- anian knights, men of thew and brawn, fought the Teutonic in- vaders. who were bent on Chris- tianizing them by force. Even to the present day these mounds are regarded as sacred gound, and no landowner will al- low them to be cultivated, for tradition has it that bemeath them defenders of the homeland, with the dead foemen heapéd around them. On St. Johm's night in mid- gumer, beacons are lit in com- memoration of -éncient battles. And at the witching hour wail- ings and clashings of arms may be heard, the, Mll—l pay, and weird vn}xons Yeen.

Tecause they’ve been select- ed as the Wampas Baby Stars for 1928—representing what the picture trade itself conmd- ars to be its most promising material among its thousands of striving “unknowns.” The lucky 13 wlll be {ormally presented to the public at that gala Hollywood affair, the Wampas Frolic and Ball, on February 25. One glance at the array of loveliness will show that the Wampas boys have a pretty good eye for beauty. Another glance shows that blondes are no longer so heavily preferred, as brunettes seem to predom- inate in the cluster of young stars-to-be.

Sir William declared simple to keep fit.

But as the women jurors' {all wore the conventional long | hair, they had at least, in the eyes of the Potsdamers, to be classed as gentlewomen. [ One day the wife of a Potsdam | goldsmith was drafted’ for the jury. The case proved to be a rather long one, and the gold- smith's wife decided to vary the ;monotony of her service by hav- | ing her hir cut as she went home after a session. The judge, the court officials, the other jurors, tho audience igasped when she turned up in ithe court room the next morning. ' But there was nothing they could 'do about it.
