Just as great possi- bilitis as the English language offers for expression are also offered by motion pictures.

For 1t has come to be & truism in the world of motfon plcture pro- duction that,when a difficult part Is to be cast, one that requires unusual care and artistry in characterization, Rosemary Theby is called in and gen- erally saves the day. Recently she was Nina in “The Girl of the Golden West,” a Spanish daughter of the dance halls, of wild passionate moods and intense affec- tions.
