DE LUXE THEATRE

"ONLY YESTERDAY."

John 11. Stahl made ...John -Boles what' he is today as a dramatic actor.' John M. Stahl. lias made another star. This other star is the girl he' chose'to'play the part, of Mary Lane-iu; "paly; Yesterday," Coining tomoiTow-;to the De Luxe Theatre. Her name is, Margaret Su.llavan, and he saw her playing in New York in "Dinner at Eight." Several tests were made, and they pleased Stahl co much that he.even declared he would not make the picture unless he 'could. >lfave Margaret Sullavau. After Carl Laemmle, jun., and the officials at Universal City saw the first cutting of "Only Yesterday," there was no doubt in-*'their minds that she would stay oil the screen. It'was an unusually difficult problem to get a girl with the looks, the experience, 5 and the dramatic, fire to play' Mary ,Lane; To run this gauntlet, of human emotions convincingly, "so that she will; be able" to make girls of 18 and Avomen of 31 believe her, she must have an extraordinary ' talent," remarked Stahl!" Margaret Sullavan filled every requirement, and turited.i.n one of the grandest performances in; sdreeu history. Stardom wilisbe her reward.' ";
