That is the quite reasonable as | sumption upon which the climax of this novel picture is built and; proves to be a most exciting and amusing one. Of course, the un- pleasant threat isn’t quite carried out and everything comes cut to the general satisfaction of every- one concerned. Ethel Shannon, Burr Mclntosh, James Gordon, ' Charles Colby Clark Comstack, Newton House and others play the more prominent roles in sup- port of the star.

There is a sermom in this pic- ture, sugar coated with laughs, it i3 true, but nevertheless a ser- mon, which both wives and hus bands may take to heart.

Doesn’t Frighten Hollywood Now By DIXIE SHELBY (Los Angeles Correspondent of the International Illustrated News.) M UCH HAS BEEN said and a great deal written about the so-called “foreign invasion” industry, but after all the hue and cry has died down of the motion picture denizens of Hollywood have found out that they’ve been quiv- ering in fear before the hollow At one time, to be true, it looked as though native-born American players were going to be swept aside in the rush for European im- portations, You heard all sorts of talk about this one and that, and how he or she would soon be the idol of all the more or less United States. And now that all the shootin's over, what do we find? Just exactly one—ONE—imported star is firmly established in the cel- luloid factories, and that one is Greta Garbo. ‘What has happened to Greta Nissen? To Lya de Putti? And to a score of others who were even less noted? Incidentally, what did really hap- pen to Pola Negri? What has she done—if anything—since the time she appeared over here in “Passion” and created something moresthan a furore? Did Negrl’'s vogue wane—or was | she given too many “sausage” pic- tures? The bald fact remains that Pola 1= still working on a six months' centract, and at the expiration of shell of a scarecrow. that period her option MAY be re- newed—or may mnot. Nobody can tell, Among all the players mentioned | above, Greta Garbo seems to have “taken hold” the best. Miss Garbo came here unheralded. She enjoyed none of the publicity that preceded Negri and Jannings. Greta was Jjust another foreign leading woman and took a chance on being taken or left. Of course, Miss Garbo was fortunate in the important matter of casting. She invariably found her- self In good stories and this right from the start. She was a new type and, besides belng a type, she could act. It seems that Greta just couldn’t do anything that wasn't in- teresting and, according to our best authorities, it is better to be Inter; esting than beautiful. It wouldn’t be fair to write about foreigners who have failed, but su’ fice it to say that of the many wh« were called over here few have bers chosen by the public. The scar about importations is over and tne American actor is reassured tha, b can do things as well as his forelg cousin.
