—Starring NORMA SHEARER NOT so long ago, a celebrated film director told a struggling young actress to get out of pictures, because she was a hopeless camera subject. In 1920, that same actress had starred in New York without getting a single chance. In 1930, Norma Shearer must have smiled at these memories when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted her work in " The Divorcee " as the best performance of the year. To-day, Norma Shearer, on the pinnacle of film fame, is one of the greatest actresses of the screen. Her career is a triumphant example of the reward which awaits those who have the ability to endure continuous hardship and disappointment. It was by her sensational acting in " The Trial of Mary Dugan " that she emerged as a brilliant talking picture star. Norma Shearer is a Canadian, having been born at Montreal on August 10, 1904. Four years ago she married Irving Thalberg.
