EVERYBODY'S

“CHILDREN OF DIVORCE” “Children of Divorce,” now being shown at Everybody’s Theatre, brings Clara Bow and Esther Ralston together for the first tifeie. These two stars, both comparative newcomers on the screen, have in the past few years p-oved their ability and talent in a number of productions. - Miss Bow won fame in “Dancing Mothers” and “Mantrap,” while Miss Ralston for her work in “The Blind Goddess” and “The Quarterback” attained equal acclaim. Gary Cooper, Einar Hanson and Norman Trevor are the three leading men who head the stars’ supporting cast. Cooper, new to Paramount pictures, first flashed skyward in “The Winning of Barbara Worth.” After seeing his remarkable work in “Children of Divorce” he was scheduled for the leading role in a series of Westerns. Hanson came all the way from Scandinavia to show the "world that Latin lovers weren’t so much. He demonstrated his versatility in two of Corinne Griffiths's films. As for Trevor, those who saw “Beau Geste” need no reminder of his acting ability. Owen Johnson’s story is one of a certain everincreasing group—those who sever the bands the church has welded to go their own separate ways leaving their children to wander unaided through adolescence. Director Frank Lloyd is said to have created a motion picture far above the average in “Children of Divorce.” Certainly his subject is one which cannot fail to be of more than ordinary interest.
