It is an eye-dazzling spectacle, a gorgeous extravaganza, a glori fied and glorifying film master- plece, in which lavish and amaz- ing scenic effects, luxurious set- tings and rich and wonderful cos. tumes are wused to* cover the Lright and lively plot with a har- mony of color, grace, beauty and novelty. The story, by Townsend Martin, built around a nation-wide search for the loveliest, shapeliest and most graceful girl in America, chock-full of comedy, romance, melodrama and thrills, Bound up with the beauty quest is a refresh ing love story between one of the contestants and an enterprising young publicity man. Never before has so much youth and beauty and talent heen assembled in a screen production. The featured roles are brilliantly handied by Ralston, Law rence Gray, Ford Sterling and Fay Lanphier, who was crowned “Miss America” at the 1925 Dbathing beauty contest at Atlantic City. And the supporting cast includes Ernest Torrence, Douglas Fair- banks, Jr., many noted stage cele brities, seven of the leading en- tries in the Atlantic City beauty pageant and twenty of the loveli- est mannequins in the country. Under the deft and intelligent direction of Frank Tuttle, the pic- ture maintains a delicate balance between its purely visual features, such as the elaborate fashion show and the artistic tableaux, which were filmed in color, and its heart- appealing action. ful girls ® — e} “THE BROWN DERBY” | AT PALACE SUNDAY 1 T ! | W 1t is generally understood lhat actors are the most superstitious people in the world, but running them a close second is the auto- mobile racer.
