2 Universal Weekly February 20, 1926 1 TAKE PRIDE No. 472 — Straight from the S President of the U nivt MARY PHILBIN rises to new heights in “Stella Maris”. I cannot remember any picture in which the star so completely steals your interest away from everything else. I believe “Stella Maris”, which means “Star of the Sea”, will be one of the most talked-of pictures in a long, long time. It is not the kind of picture you are accustomed to. It is quite away from the beaten path. If there’s one thing I like to do above all else it is to spring new things, or new q ways of doing old things. “Stella Maris” turns the trick. Miss Philbin plays two roles. They are so amazingly different from each other that it does not seem possible both could be played by the same person. One role portrays a dainty, delicate, Dresden-china type of girlhood — almost spiritual in her exquisiteness. The other is a plain, homely, even sturdy type with an ugly face but the soul of a saint. Well, Miss Philbin turns the trick and proves for all time that the screen has no greater dramatic actress. She proves what I have always thought, namely, there is no part she cannot play!
