Back in 1020 there was a little high school girl in Chicago who sent her picture into a beauty con- test conducted by a local news- paper. This was easily the most outstanding of all beauty contests, and of course was held before the present vogue of promiscuous com- petitions. Miss Philbin won a six months gontract with Universal. She has been under contract to the same company ever. since, and has ap- peared in the productions of no other company. After a year of training and hard work as an ex- tra, she was suddenly cast in the lead of the immortal *Merry-Go- Round," which is still associated with her name, DOING PRETTY WELL / (Brantford Expositor) Uncle Sam always contends that he does not intend to become mixed up in outside national affairs, but he has been doing pretty well late- ly with soldiers in Nicaragua and the issuance of a warning to wur- ring factions in China.

Goldwyn-Mayer's spectacular film- ization of "Anna Karenina," Tol- stoy's classic of Russia, which comes Monday to the Regent Theatre. The new picture, one of the most gorgeous and spectacular film ro- mances of the season, presents both in roles that perhaps fit. them hetter than any-others that could be imagined. Gilbert, splendidly uniformed; is seen as the dehohair and romgante Count Vronsky, a'role that recalls his great hit in 'The Merry Widow," with Miss Garbo in the rble of the tragic Anna, who sacrifices all for love, only to be dogged by a strange and sinister doom. . Edmund Goulding directed the new picture, which was staged on a lavish scale. The cast is notable, including George Fawcett, who played, the kivg in "The Merry Widow," as the Grand Duke; Brandon Hurst as the hushand, Count Karenin; Philippe De Lacy, Emily Fitzroy, and others of note. Ameng the interesting several Prinee players are characters: Youcca Troubetzkoy, playing a staff officer; General Michael Pleschkoff! former Russian army cdmmander, who fled from the revolution, and General Theodor: Lodi, another Russian refugee, a8 generals on the Grand Duke's staff. Spectacular reproductions ef Russian castles ,a great cathedral, a thrilling series of manoeuvers of the Russian officers and other ela~ borate detail form a background for this vivid story of the love be- tween a young count, and the her- oine of this vivid play.
