THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY HAT have we here? Look again. Why, it's Priscilia Dean. The reason you did not recognize her at first is entirely one of character. Miss Dean is dressed in the costume she wears in her latest production, the sj)ectacular $500,000 "The Virgin of Stwmboul." You'll hear a lot about it very soon. The part she plays is that of a beautiful Turkish beggar girl. The cruel director, Mr. Tod Browning, made her stain herself, a lot of herself, a light mahogany color. She couldn't take it off to fmve this picture taken. In spite of appearances, she was born in little old New York and brought up mostly on the stage. This nut brown matron (she's married noiv) has white parents. One was an actress and other had something to do with running Manhattan.
