Hubbard Heavy has this to say
of Ana Harding who has been
appearing at the Grand In "Paris
Bound":
The Bannisters Ann Harding f
Is one of them have a joint
movie contract which provides
that as long- as one Is employed
the other will be, too.
In other words, the studio to
which both Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Bannicter are under contract can
not renew the" option of one with
out renewing that of the other.
The purpose of the agreement, one
of the most unusual in Holly
wood, is to prevent their being
separated.
Miss Harding came here about
a year and a half ago with her
young daughter to be near her
husband, then appearing in a
stage play. Several motion pic
ture companies approached her,
but. she refused to consider the
movies.
Frank Reicher, a director, per
suaded the Bannisters to take a
film and voice test. Miss Harding
considered it a novelty, but nev
ertheless she was enthusiastic,
and Reicher, somewhat of a psy
chologist, masked her to read the
play. "Paris Bound."
After reading It. she was eager
to play the role. It was her first
picture and since she has been in
"Her Private Affair" and "Con
demned." Miss Harding, who was on the
stage only a few years, was play
ing the lead in "The Trial of
Mary Dugan" in New York about
a year and a half ago. She left
the play when her daughter was
born.
A few weeks later she again
took her place in the cast, bat
her weakened condition caused a
breakdown and forced her to
leave the play for good. Later
she came here.
PARIS, Feb. 21. (Friday)
(AP) Camllle Chautemps, pres
ident of the radical socialist par
ty, after an all night meeting
lasting until 5 a. m. today, com
pleted a cabinet with which he
will seek a majority in the cham
ber of deputies. It will replace
that of the retiring p. mier, An
rde Tardieu, who resigned Mon
day. Among the principal members
of the new government were:
Aristide Briand. minister of for
eign affairs; Jules Steeg. minis
ter of Justice; Albert Sarrant,
minister of marine; Reno Ber
nard, minister of war; Louis
Louchear, minister of labor.
This is to say that "Paris- now
showing at the Capitol is one of
the plays that you will not want
to miss. It is funny, well acted
and well photographed. In fact
it is more than well acted it is
splendidly done. Irene Bordoni

The play hkB one of the clever
est beginnings that I have seen in
a motion picture. It opens with a
purity league meeting in the
home of Mrs. Sabot and what a

it is true to life for the most part

A large part of the responsibil
ity tor this state of affairs among
the high school students is laid by
Wolf upon the partuts, for he
says too few parents know what
their children are doing ia the
evenings.
According to the principal. Miss
Mabel Robertson, dean of girls,
has warned high school . girls
who hare attended parties of their
secret society that this thing
must stop or the final show-down
will come.
Wolf said that once secret or
ders are broken up in the high
school hero, he believed such
groups who must affiliate should
do so ia the open and indepen
dent of school. .
At the beginning of the school
year, every high school student
was required to sign r. pledge
that he or she did not belong to
any secret order within the
school. This pledge has been pre
sented to students for several"
years, but is freely recognized as
a farce.

OWNERS of life insurance have had occasion
recently to compare the stability of this form
of investment with that of even the highest grade
securities.
A chart of the market price averages of
leading stocks for twenty years shows an irregular
line that rises and dips, sometimes vertically, with
'peaks and valleys".
There are no "depressions" in the investment
values of life insurance policies. They do not fluc
tuate with business cycles. From year to year, the
44 million Metropolitan Life Insurance policies
show a steady increase in values to policy-holders.
The man who regularly invests part of -his
earnings in life insurance can go to sleep each
night with the knowledge that he is building an
estate of the greatest security and with a sure
investment return for every dollar paid in.
Life insurance is an investment whose value
constantly increases the longer it is kept in force.
