EVERYBODYS’ PJGTURES ‘•THE WANING SEX ” TO-NIGHT. It \v;is not chance that brought .Norma Shearer to the " -Movies.” She had occupied a leading place in exclusive .society in .Montreal, Canada, When her I'atnily's fortunes were lost j in a financial venture, she did not consider working a disgrace. With her sister she made a determined ell’opt to restore her family to its former position For months Miss Shearer haunted casting odices and agencies of both stage and screen, until tit last a meeting with Louis |{. .Mayer, production executive of .Melro-Ooldwy n-M aver, convinced him that she was the type for whom he had been searching for a long time. At lirst Miss Shearer had only small roles graduating at last to stardom. A thorough ,training has made her one of the most l aseinat ingj of movie figures. Her da/rding beauty, culture, breeding and natural grace, make her screen image a delight. Her latest picture. " The Waning Sex. . comes to the I’rineess Theatre io-niglil j It is a delightfully droll comedy show j ing .Miss Shearer in her most intrigu j ing mood. Ihe brightest star in motion pictures in a clever story with: a maximum oi public appeal. Modern, j sopistieated and relined, “ I lie Mailing Sex.” tells of the younger'’ generation of women who firmly believe theirs is the dominant sex, that every woman should have a career, and that men no longer rule the universe. A good topical and comedy will complete it fine programme to-night. On Monday next the Paramount, picture, " A Kiss for Cinderella.” will. I:e shown. The story is by Sir .1. M. j Ihirrie, the British author who wrote j " Peter Pan.” and is about a London j waif who loved a policeman. It is a. 1 modern title of glowing romance and photographic surprises and is not | fairy story'. A strong caste, headed InBetty Bronson, Esther .Ralston, and Tom Moore, is in the production oft this great Paramount piciure.
