CAMPUS In M.abel Forrest's first Grand-Asher picture in which she has the stellar role, produced by Ben Wilson and directed by Arthur Rosson, there are a lot of sliding panels and trap-doors to make "The Satin Girl" a mystery. Whilt making the picture Mabel had to emerge from one of the pan.els and when Rosson called camera, she didn't appear. Instead they heard wild seratchings and thumps on the panel. It wouldn't work and Miss Forrest was held a captive. "The Satin Girl" comes to the Campus theatre Monday and Tuesday, August 4 and 5.

But he is at his best when he does his specialty of telling dialect tokes including Scandinavian. Here 1s a sample of one of his favorites in which with a Spanish accent superimposed upon his American one he impersonates a Norwegian saying: "What a wonderful bird the frog are I When he stand he sit almost. He got no sense, hardly. He got no tail, either, hardly; when he sit he sit upon what he ain't got, almost." A play that has all four episodes in the living room of a suburban home fills the stage in the production of "Easy Street."

NEW EVANSTON Harold Lloyd's "Girl Shy" is just a little different than some of his other pictures. In this screen story he acts to a large extent the way he does in actual life, according to those who know him personally. Lloyd is one of the few screen stars who dislikes to be recognized in public. He is by nature, retiring and . modest. Once known in public, he becomes diffident and ill at ease.
