EVERYBODYS PICTURES.

WEDNESDAY—“THE FAIR CO-ED” starring maiuon davies.

Hundreds of extra film players who have been appearing, in pictures for from one to five years, voted Marion Davies “the most regular star on the screen” during the making of her latest Motro-Goldwyn-Mayer attraction “The Fair Co-E'd,” due to be screened at the Pi ’in cess Theatre on AVodneselay. Marion Davies saw that these “extras” were accorded treatment on a par with that given- to herself, whilst on location at Pomona. .College, where “The Fair Co-Ed” was made. Hundreds of real college students were- also given a maximum of employment in order that they might pay for additional education. Their presence in many scenes contribute an unforgettable sense of novelty and realism to his gripping sporting romance. “The Fair 00-Ed” is Marion Davies’ finest picture, inasmuch as her inimitable sense of comedy is given unprecedented scope. Other players appearing in the cast include Johnny Mack Brown, a newcomer to the screen, former University feotba.il. player, and Jane Winton, Thelma Hill and Lilianue Leighton, all of whom play their parts splendidly. Director Sam Wood—famous for hisv direction of the biggest .successes of the late Wallace Tieid* and o.oria Swanson, and that mirth quake, “Bookies”—has made a wonderful success of “The Fair Co-Ed.”

A picture of special interest to patrons will be presented in Wednesday's programme showing the large factory of His Masters’ Voice 'Gramophone Coy. Every detail in the manufacture of ‘gramophones and records will lie included in the display; also several world-famous artists recording for this popular Cby. Coming 'Monday next: —The picture everyone is waiting for, “Sorrell and Son.”
