Here is in "Stella Dallas ever be able to dup role that she played v. it might be said to be ot . actress only once in a lifetime, &u that she might suffer from lack of iu tunity, as have other actresses who havt mother portrayals. Mary Carr, of "Over tht fame, is an example, although, of course, she is muu older. But Belle is very fortunate, it would appear. She has been playing in "The Lily," a screen version of the David Belasco stage success, and from what we have seen of her on the set, we believe that she is going to offer another touching emotional portrayal.

Miss Negri is going to Europe for a vacation, and also to establish a home for her mother near Paris, while Rudy has lately been reported as concentrating his interest upon a new countess. Blanche's Lofty Abode. Blanche Sweet is now the proud possessor of nothing more nor less than a mountain in the Sierra Nevadas, / and its intriguing name is nothing less nor more than Papoose. Blanche has always impressed us as a unique pe sonality and a very clever girl, but we never qr anticipated anything so unique of her as this re property acquisition, which can be reached only trip of several hundred miles by automobile.
