day. It is claimed that eigh.
thousand people have taken part
in its various scenes. For the
most part these represent the
spectacular side of lite at Monti
Carlo. Tiie sets built for the pro-
duction have never been rivaled.
They reproduce the famous Cas-
ino, Hotel de Paris, the Plaza,
an elaborate French villa ana
even the Monte Carlo tramway.
A French village, an artificial
lake, and sunken gardens are on-
ly a few of the things constructed
by artists, architects and land-
scape gardeners without appar-
ent stint. These details were
supervised by Victor Andre, a
French artist. Many of the sets

in the cast of "The Lying Truth,"
Martin Fairfax's initial produc-
tion.
First, there is Miss Fairfax,
the producer, and her husband,
Tully Marshall, who appears in
one of the leading roles, Pat
O'Mally, in the star part, finds
himself working opposite his lit-
tle daughter Eileen for the first
time. Eileen has been appearing
before the camera since her sec-

Another discovery in the per-

old winner of the decent brains
and beauty contest held by a Chi-
cago newspaper was given a con
tract by Carl Laemmle. The lit-
tle girl has shown charm and
talent in the several parts she
has played and she will be fea-
tured in "The Harbor Roid," the
novel by Sara Ware Bassett,
which will shortly be placed in
production at Universal City.

Concerning Start To-Be.
While generally speaking, the
trend is all the other way, some
of the producers of pictures
cling to the star system and in-
tend to enlarge upon it in their
several plans. Hetty Blythe's
visit to New York, it is under-
stood, was for conference with
William Fox, who, since her hit
in "The Queen of Sheba" be-
lieves she has in her potential
greatness.
The same producer is declared
to intend the elevation of Jack

Gilbert upon the completion of
his Goldwyn contract. Realart
has had Mary McAvoy at its lo-
cal studio lor some months
grooming her for a stellar debut,
as a result of her extraordinary-
work in Barrie's "Sentimental
Tommy," in fact, Mary's clever-
ness and personal charm are
counted upon to develop her as a
second Mary Pickford—an indi-
cation of how highly she is re-
garded by her sponsors.

Abstract.
The meaning of the noun abstract.
In Its most common use Is that which
embraces or embodies the essential
parts or features of some larger ob-
ject or whole; a summary or epitome,
as of a book or docunlent. The terra

Long Lapse of Memory.
One of the most famous examples
of official oversight occurred in con-
nection with Drury Lane theater,
where for nearly two centuries sol-
dlers stood on guard outside during
each performance. Many thought the
guard was there In recognition of
Prury Lane as the theater royal, hut
the real fact was that It was sent
there originally by George II. to pie-
vent n threatened riot. The order not
being countermanded, the irnnrd win
continued until 1S04.—London Times.
