When Fanny Hurst, saw the picture she said it was like "a stroll through America's family album," and the film is indeed composite picture of the average American family, showing its members as children and grownups, and chock full from beginning to end of both amusing and pathetic incidents. "Dangerous Carves Ahead" Pleases. Kansas City exhibitors are announcing a number of interesting films for fall showing. Among them is "Dangerous Curves Ahead," another Rupert Hughes-Goldwyn production which was given a preview here the other Some will probably like.

One of the famous possibilities is a production with the pair co-starred. That depends on the finding of a suitable vehicle. Mrs. Charlotte Pickford will accompany her daughter, it is said. Fate is sometimes very ironic.

Fatty Arbuckle's last picture was titled "Skirt Shy," and the one he was about to begin "The Melancholy Spirit." Gloria Swanson, who admits she is "through" with her husband of two Herbert Somborn, is making "The years, Husband's -whatever that is. In the case of the Californian who accused Tom Mix of running him down on the highway, the star came out triumphant. The judge dismissed the suit.

Answers to Queries, J. R. Salina, Lowell Sher-1 man is better known on the legitimate stage, where he achieved success in "The Tavern," than in movies. One of his first roles in films was as the heavy in Griffith's "Way Down East," and he is often referred to as, the "handsomest heavy on the screen." He has recently completed a lead with Goldwyn in a picture called "Grand Larceny." Paramount had engaged him, it is reported, to play opposite Gloria Swanson in a production, but canceled his contract the other day after his notoriety in the Arbuckle affair.

Mr. Sherman has made his home in New York until the last year, most of which he has spent in Los Angeles. To Ethel Hazel Daly is the wife of Harry Beaumont, a film director, who has directed several productions for Goldwyn. Miss Daly a says every picture she has appeared in has been directed by her husband with the exception of one. The couple reside most of the time in Los Angeles.

Marie Prevost denies that the "Miss Zeh Prevost" who is a material witness in the Arbuckle case is any relation to her. RE-ENTER-JUANITA, SERIAL QUEEN More than one movie fan in the last year has questioned concerning the whereabouts of Juanita Hansen and why her absence from the screen. Having established a reputation as being one of the most daring actresses in pictures, taking all kinds of chances in the haz'ardous serial stunts she was featured in, naturally her absence was noted. A mystery surrounded her retirement. More than a year ago she had appeared in a rather ghastly affair, "The Lost City," and after that she was truly lost as though she had perished in some of the wild jungles the film pictured.

Then report came to the effect that she was ill, seriously ill, in a western sanatorium. A film magazine frankly hinted that the actress was under treatment for a nervous malady and was taking a "cure." A film company which was to star her in a big feature, had released her, it was stated. Many of these reports were exaggerated, friends of the actress declare, admit, however, that Miss Hansen was forced to take a protracted rest on account of badly shaken nerves. They plained "the nerves" were. due to excite.

ment and strain she endured while filming scenes, many of them with wild animals, in her last film. Now comes news to the effect that STAR, SUNDAY, Miss Hansen is entirely, restored to health, has recently married Harrison JUANITA RECENTLY HANSEN, BECAME MRS. PICTURE HARRISON ACTRESS. POST. WHO Post, a brother of Guy Bates Post, the actor, and is coming back to the screen soon.

The little actress, it is reported SEPTEMBER 25, 1921. from California, where she and her husband, are spending their honeymoon, is more attractive than ever, her blond beauty having taken on added freshness and charm since her yedr's rest in the mountains. Miss Hansen is one of the smallest women in films, standing only 5 feet 2 inches in her stocking feet. Her eyes are blue, although they generally screen dark brown. Someone seeing Lucille Rickesen, juvenile actress, in "The Old Nest" last week, remarked on her resemblance to Miss Hansen, The resemblance is not strange as the two are cousins.

Both of the actresses were born in Des Moines, and are of Swedish descent, as their names indicate. Miss Hansen is said to be 25 years old, more than 10 years the senior of her little cousin, who is one of the most accomplished juveniles on the screen. The Hansen and Rickesen families moved to California some vears ago. Miss Hansen received her education in the Los Angeles schools. She made her first screen appearance with the Famous, Players-Lasky Company, appearing opposite Pickford in her first important role.

She was the heroine in a picture "The Secret of the Submarine," for the American Film Company, and afterward appeared in a number of productions for different companies, among them "The Brass Bullet," for Universal, and an Artcraft picture, "The Poppy Girl's Husband."

The production is one of the costliest of the year, a mint of money having been expended salaries of the performers alone, many of whom are among Paramounts highest salaried players.

The photoplay was suggested by Arthur Schnitzler's: widely known stage play, "The Affairs of Anatol," which fact Mr. De Mille announces as the first reel begins its unwinding. Aside from the title, the film bears scant resemblance to the original. Jeannie McPherson, scenario writer, revamped the whole thing, American1zed and ultra-modernized it, evidently with the idea in mind making it more to the liking of the average movie audience. In doing so she has made -a fairly entertaining story, chock full of gorgeous scenes and beautiful costumes which show off the beauty of their women wearers to perfection.

Four of the best looking women in films are featured in the cast, Gloria Swanson, who the role of Vivian, Anatol's wife; Wanda Hawley, the bobbed hair vamp; Bebe Daniels as. Satan Synne, "the wickedest woman in New and Agnes Ayres who, as a farmer's wife, presents a role different from those she usually portrays.

in which Ben, in his funniest manner, appears as the outcast. He is pictured as having a most fascinating way with the women which gets him into all sorts of trouble and at last brings him to trial. The courtroom scene furnishes an abundance laughs all the way through. The play is a 2-reeler and that length of picture seems much better suited to the star and his style of screen stunts than the longer films he has been appearing in. Midnight ROYAL THEATER.

Burt Offord Reviewers are saying that this Ray production, adapted from the widely known stage play by Charles Hoyt, which the star directed himself, doesn't come his "Scrap Iron" or "The Old Swimmin' Hole," but that it is probably the "fastest going production" the star has ever appeared in. The action is said to fairly gallop at times, as the star, portraying Martin Tripp, a traveling salesman, finds himself acting detective and trying to find out about the "ghosts" which infest the church of a little town and bring terror to the superstitious inhabitants, Of course the mystery is gradually cleared up, but not without a number of exciting events in which Martin fig: ures, and also a girl, the daughter of the storekeeper with whom Martin finally lands a job.

Jock, disappointed in a love affair and wishing to forget his misery, quits Scotland and is next seen in the Canadian Northwest, where he becomes a member of the Royal Mounted Police. It is while serving in this capacity that Jock again encounters his tive former rival in love- -who now is 8 fugidefaulter and wife deserter.

The pursuit by Jock, officer, of the man who is a hunted thief, and their joint pursuit of a girl, provide ample opportunity for dramatic acting and breathless situations. The result is declared to be a satisfying performance of a drama distinctly different from any in which this Fox star heretofore has appeared. The photography, especially in the scenes of the great Northwest, is reported to be unusually pic- More than fifty thousand people saw the film, "The Old Nest," at the Liberty theater last two weeks. Because many others have expressed. a wish to view the production, the Liberty management is holding it for a third week's showing at the Doric theater.
