(\The orbits of the stars of the screen world. ^HB^^'1**! )( *SR( )M Hollywood to New \ irk ^ and back again to Hollywood they go — the Glorified Ones, your home lies near the New York Central, the Santa Fe or the Rock Island Rail Roads, you have no doubt seen glimpses of some of the beauties of the screen. And then the roar of the train dies away and the rushing transcontinental whisks out of your sight.
