BEBE DANIELS Ten thousand Los Angeles citizens, from every walk of life, play an important part in Bebe Daniels’s newest starring vehicle, “Stranded in Paris.” The story concerns itself with an American girl who linds herself the possessor of a free ticket to Paris. Arrived there, her purse is stolen, so she applies for a position with a smart modiste. While delivering an order at a health resort. Bebe is mistaken for a famous countess, and shown to her rooms. Here she meets the count, Ford Sterling, who is both surprised and delighted on finding this beautiful creature masquerading as his wife. One scene for the photo-play, directed by Arthur Rosson, calls for an airplane to fly over a city park and drop envelopes containing samples, one of which holds a free passage to Paris. When the time to film this sequence arrived, it was announced via the daily papers that a complimentary + icket to Paris would actually be released. A throng of 10.000, from dignified professional men to eager shopgirls, gathered to catch the lucky ticket. As the envelopes came down six cameras photographed the wild scramble from every angle. Supporting Miss Daniels in “Stranded in Paris," u. story said to be even more peppy than the Paramount star’s last success, “The Campus Flirt,” are James Hall, Ford Sterling, Iris Stuart, Mabel Julienne Scott, Helen Dunbar, Ida Darling, George Grandee, and Tom Ricketts.
