Take note The different herei 1 . 5 - picture The cast of Carnival, the impressive international,- screen spectacle, produced in its original Jocales by Harley Knoles, and released by United Artists, is in every sense of the world. This wonderful picture will be the feature at the Columbia theater Thursday. First, there is Matheson Lang, who plays the principal role, that of Silvio Steuo, prominent Italian trage-diaaround whose pioturosqxip ohar-a.d- r the dramatic storj of Carnival is built. Mr. 'Lang starred in the original presentation of Carnival on the legitimate stage. He headed, recently, his own production,, The Wandering Jew, at the New theater, London, England, which was one of the biggest successes of a decade. He is re- n garded as one of the greatest actors of the day, his interpretations of the classic roles of and Lear, Shylock Hamlet, having placed him among British actors in the class with Sir Henry Irving and Beerbohn Tree. Hilda Bailey, who plays opposite him in the role of Simonetta, the vivacious but neglected little wife, also created the part in the original stage presentation. She, too, is one of the big favorites in London in the legitimate drama. The; versatile Ivor Novello, as Count Andrea! Scipione, is famous among other things for having written the great ballad made popular in the late war, Keep the Home Fires He is said to have the Burning. most classic profile in England, and is as famous as a musician and singer, as he is as an actor. the Lelio. Clifford Gray as brother of poor little Simonetta, gives a clever portrayal of the sycophantic brother, too lazy to work, but always well dressed and living on his apsisters popularity. Mr. Gray hascounpeared in many pictures in this Because a woman, guilty of a capital crime, was superstitious to the extent that breaking her mirror foreshadowed doom for her she was finally forced to confess at the eleventh hour and save the life of a man convicted of murder, though innocent. Such is the central plot of The Law and the Woman, a new Paramount picture, starring Betty Compr son, to lie seen at the Columbia theater on Wednesday. It is hv means of this idea playing upon the superstition of the guilty woman- - that Miss Compson, in the role of ti,e fiihful wife of the accused man, succeeds in obtaining a confession from a vampire, whom she confronts with the gruesome reminders of her crime. The picture shows the danger of circumstantial evidence in homicidal cases. No stronger play has been produced than this. William T. Carle-to- n plays opposite the star and heads an unpsually strong supporting cast.

I dont see that Im more typical than a million other girls, but yet a number of artists have selected me as the personification of the girl they have in mind when they think of a type. I know I do the same thing myself. I may1 meet hundreds of girls, all- equally American, but only once in a great while do I meet a girl whom I wpuld instinctively describe as a real American. I remember when' I was war work among the woundeddoing soldiers, I was curious like a lot of women, to get the soldiers impression of the difference between French and American girls. - One of the most pithy answers I got from a soldier was; The diference is that a French girl thinks shes lucky to get you and an American girl thinks youre lucky to get her. That may enter into it a matter of pride. And in my own particular case I know it does. For the proudest moment of my life was when the committee of artists selected me as the typical American, Miss Valli, who was leading woman for Bert Lytell in The Man A Trip to Paradise Who, and Junk, appears opposite him again in The Riht That Failed, showing at the Strand theater Wednesday and Thursday. The picture is a romance of a highbrow pugilist (Bert Lytell) who loves a society girl (Virginia Valli). The cast includes De Witt Jennings, Philo McCullough, Otis Harlan and Max ,Davidson.
