the second picture to be made by Pola Negri. Her first, of course, will be “Bella Donna; the next one is to be an original story by Frances Marion.

Universal City these days looks like a Viennese barrack. Erich von Stroheim is putting on “Merry Go Round.” It is a wonderful story, just a little suggestive of “Liliom” in its atmosphere.

Even Mike Boyland, the publicity director, hauled out the cavalry boots that adorned his person when he was a troop commander.
