Lilian Gish--ethereal and beauti= * ful--in the stern setting of the wars ' of Highland clans--in the majestic splendors of ancient Scottish castles --in settings that blend the legend and romance of Scotland with the grim details of its turbulent history " --this is the Lillian Gish of "Annie Laurie," latest vehicle of the famous star, which opens a three-day en- * gagement at the Regent Monday af- .ternoon. It is a gigantic story of human souls; a romance of love as great as the huge settings in which the story is told; it is a historic drama that eclipses anything of the kind seen in years--all the more wonderiul be- 'cause it deals with a people never before seen on the screen. J The ancient Scots, with their court intrigues--their implacable clan war fare, and their delicate sentiment un- derlying the ever-present lust for battle--these are reproduced with startling fidelity in the big Metro- Goldyn-Mayer spectacle. Famous old castles, including his- toric Maxwelton, were reproduced.

Watch for th This picture, produced by 'the Socicties des Cineromans oi Paris is of epic proportions. It is said to have taken more than two years to lions of francs. Many of the scenes of the French super picture were taken on the ex: act locations indicated by Victor Hugo in the novel, This entailed the necessity of reconstructing the main streets of the towns and villages in which the action takes place, to ap- pear as they did a century ago. So intense was the interest of the French nation in the success of the gigantic motion picture enterprise that permission was readily granted by town authorities so that the re- constructors might do their work un hampered, even to the extent, in one case, of taking up a section of pavement and laying cobble stones. The streets of Paris could not of course, be reconstructed, but mas- sive sets were built that are said to be remarkable for their fidelity to the period represented. Leading actors from the French stage wwere engaged to portray the characters created by Hugo, Ga- briel Gabrio appearing as Jean Val jean. The other principal roles .are enacted by players of equal note and the extra players, all in period dress, number thousands, In the finished films, as exhibited throughout France, there were more than six thousand separate scenes, So Tong was the complete picture that it was exhibited in a series of five showings, Universal has reduced the picture to feature length, leaving out many of the side excursions so dear to the heart of the French and leaving of the story of Jeam Valjean, Ac- cording to reviewers in the several cities in which the picture has been shown in its present length, a grip- ping story unfolds on the screen in an astonishing succession of "big scenes," "MISERABLES" Beautiful Royal Gardens Used As Locale of Coming Super Movie Filming the Luxembourg garden woo by no means an easy task for the producer of "Les Miserables," the (niversal'Film de France Pro- duc. nn which comes Monday to the N Theatre. : ww Martin '> had to reproduce the famous n cxactly as it appeared in 14.0, the time of the story, He had, ior imstance, to keep out those parts which bear notices warming the pub- Don't Drag Around Half d With Pain!

In view of the tremendous difficulties Henri Fescourt and his assistants had to overcome, one must marvel at the skill which enabled them to obtain such superh pictures as appear in the film, SEPARATED TEMPORARILY (New York Evening World) A young couple, married abroad a month ago, left one of the Fifth Avenue hotels arm in arm the other day for Chicago. At Grand Central Terminal the young hus- band went on to the train while his bride quenched her thirst with an orangeade. But when she reach- ed the train it was gone and with it her brand new husband. Drying her tears she appeared at the hotel she had left not so long before. "Please find him," she pleaded. Wires were rushed out in an el- fort to reach the husband before he had gone too far West. Within four. hours he was back, and twenty-four hours later they started the Chicago trip all over again.

Somre of them will be new to the library's patrons and therefore of interest. Tinker's Leave by Maurice Bar- ing, is the story of a young man's adventures in Russia. Miles Cons- terdine waa twenty-seven and inde- pendent, yet it never occurred to him that his life was his own and not his aunt's who had been one of his guardians since his child- hood. Miles determined to take a holiday in Paris, There he met congenial people until finally his vacation in Paris turned into a trip to Russia. In Russia he engaged in many unexpected and delightful escapades and finally found himself in the thick of the war. From then on his adventures were more interesting still, Just before his death, Alfred Ollivant completed his last novel "To-morrow." This is a pleture of the coming Utopla as Ollivant imagined it. In "To- morrow' he has conceived an era of emancipation when coal and railways, money and clothes had disappeared and the forces of the mind went to their operation in a spirit of joy...._Mark and Mary the heroine are a lovely pair of beings and their love story is an idyll, Oriental Encounters by Mar- maduke Plckthall is the adventures of the author in Palestine and Sy- ria. He has told in the form of fiction his encounters of European tradition. In the introduction to the book Mr. Marmaduke remarks, YA record of small things, no doubt; yet it seems possible that something human may be learned from such a comic sketch-hook of experience which would never be derived from more imposing works." A President is Born, by Fannie Hurst," is the story of a life of a family. There is no word of politics but it is the life of David Schuyler, the future president of the United States, As David goes out into the world the reader is given a clear pieture of him as president. Bold Bendigo, by Paul Herring gives a good ple- ture of the English prize ring in the 1320's, Bold Bendigo is a young pugliisi who stroggles through many difficulties to the championship. His rival for the hand of his gypsy sweetheart thwarts his_at every turn, but in the end he is rewarded for his hon- esty and straight-shooting. Live- ly, colorful descriptions and excel- lent characterizations make the book pleasant reading. Ameriea by Hendrik Van Loon is a history of the United States. The tolerance and wisdom of this history, and its fanriliar, unaca- demic style make it a book for ev- oerybody. Mr. Van Loon has taken & god's eye view of the phenome- nal development of America, and his work is consequently both phil- osophic and ironic. The illustra- tions by the author are harmonious with spirit of the book--vivid, moving, and at times flippant, A Vagabond in Fiji is a racy account of the author's travels in Samoa and the Tongas where he goes in search of cannibals and romance only to find that American slang, salesmen, and advertising have pre- ceded him wherever he goes. Tales of Swordfish and Tuna by Zane Grex is a new collection of lively on deep sea fishing along the California coast, in Nova Scotia, Catalina, and "Blue Island. There sre many fine photographs. Why Stop Learning? by Mrs. Fisher (Dorothy Canfield) fs a hook on adult education.
