MAJESTIC

“LOVE OF SUNYA” “The greatest and most considerate actress in film to-day.’ This is how lan Keith refers to Gloria Swanson, star of “The Love of Sunya,” which is now being screened at the Majestic Theatre. Keith, who plays the role of one of Gloria’s lovers in the picture, attributes much of his own success on the screen to the famous actress. Several years ago, Miss Swanson noticed Keith’s fine acting on the stage and persuaded him to play a leading role opposite her. Since then he has been in several other Swanson pictures but “The Love of Sunya’’ marks their first appearance together in more than a year. “Gloria takes an interest in each member of her cast,” Keith said, “and just as she has sought to improve her own talents, she seeks to do the same for others. Every time I come to play in one of her pictures, I notice the great improvement she has made in her art.” Miss Swanson naturally is an expert on make-up and often when she notices defects in make-up of new players in her pictures, she personally points out how they can be remedied. Gloria has an apartment at the studio where she works, and members of the cast are often her guests at luncheon and dinner there as well as frequent visitors to her city home.
