Madame Mustache is the role that Miss Oliver will create, and it said to be one of the most difficult characterizations ever presented to a screen star. It is embroidered with the dry, caustic humor and withering sarcasm of which Miss Oliver is mistress. Howard Estabrook is given the credit for creating Madame Mustache, a fact that gives added interest to the role when his good work with "Cimmaron" is recalled.

Miss Oliver's characterization of Mrs. Tracy Wyatt in that picture still lingers as one of the outstanding portrayals of the past year.

Is there anyone to take his place? Scan your own memory and see. He stood alone. That leads up to Irving Plchel, the director whom It is said pos sesses the same trick. Perhaps not as greatly, yet.
