The nam» of the original was really | “Butterfly,” or “Cho-san” in Japanese, and it was by this name that she was known to Mrs. Correll and others of the mission.

ITH “Body and Soul” thankfully behind her, Elissa Landi, svelt blon: siren of the screen, whose beauty has been doubled since her first appearance, emerges in the film “Always Good-by" at the Fox Theater with every indication that sche is on the golden high- way to success. Miss Lendi is more cilken in her actions, mere graceful in her mannerisms, more everything than she was before and she should be en- throned among the first fairest cinema ‘adies of the land. Althouzgh the title of this pic- ture is harped on overeagerly, Miss Landi be- ing one of those unfortunates who is alwavs saying (herg the title may be supplied), che isn't really to be pitied, for in the end she gets Lewis Stone as a husband, and is guaran- teed youth, middle age and widow- hood cn the banks of that crystalline sca—Lake Como.

Merely as a lark, to offset the obvious dis- advantages of living in a Bloomsbury fiat, Miss Landi discovers that even her platonic relations with this gentleman are not to be stood when she finds him to be a crook, and en Mr. Stone is appraising ber h the lovelorn eyes of a wounded gezelle.
