An odd trick of fate made a film actress of Tina Modotti, the talented little Italian beauty who appears in the Dial Film company's latest all star production, “The Tiger's Coat.” While attending high school in Touraine, Italy, Mine Modotth en tered a newspaper subscription con test and won an order for 12 por ts at a wellknown Touraine photography studio.

Soon after a di rector of the Lombrosia Film com pany saw the portrait and made an appointment with the original.
