"THE ATPAIBS OY ANATOL." T3ie big Cecil de Mille prodnction, "The Affairs of Anatol," which is screening at the Theatre Boyal, haa caused the crowded a diences which havo witnessed it to.marvel at the high btato to which film producing has attained in America. In making this splendid photo-plsv the director haj set out to do something which no one had done before, and ho accomplished it. In the first placo he has gathered twelve of the leading screen stars of'the world under his banner to portray the principal roles. This was not done merely for "boosting" purposes—this singular play contains several episodes complcto in th»m«elvcs, and all calling for the best talent for their successful interpretation. The settings aie rumptuous, and range from the quiet farmhouse to the restauranti and pleasure haunt* of New' York, and the boudoirs and fiatn of the favourites of fortune. An idol of tho extravrgance of the production is given by the fact that tho dashing "Wallace Utiil, an Anatol, runs amok at one stage and up a set costing 30.000 doliarp. For frm ; nino benutir, too, the production is remnrka'.'V for the galaxy of fair women who adorn it.
