“THE SEA BEAST” FOR EMPRESS
The most phenomenal rise to fame in motion pictures, an industry filled with records of astonishing achievements, is that of Dolores Costello, who at eighteen plays the leading feminine role in ‘‘The Sea Beast,’’ opposite John Barrymore. Miss Costello went
to Hollywood as a modest extra girl. Three months later John Barrymore caught a glimpse of her on Warner Bros, studio lot. • The sweet, unaffected beauty of Miss Costello fitted the role of Esther. Webb protested; the girl had had no experience, but Barrymore won his way and the choicest part that could fall to any girl, that of playing opposite the great Barrymore, was hers. “The Sea Beast,” a Master picture, will be shown at the Empress Theatre on November 26th. » • • • “Mare Nostrum" ("Our Sea") is a powerful story of the sea at the time of the great World War. Blasco Ibanez is the author, and Alice Terry and An■tonio Moreno have the leading parts.
"Silken Shackles’ ’is to be the title of the next Irene lbich picture.
