The dramatic situations arc tensely enthralling, and are written round the life of a motion picture star and her struggles to gain the coveted position. .Many scenes arc taken in the studios, thus giving an insight into the life behind the scenes. Violet Hopson’s haractcrisation of the star who experiences numerous trials, and gallantly shields a girl at tin risk of her fiancee, though only temporarily, pending a better understanding, is remarkable, and the star receives splendid support from Stewart Romo in the role of a. manly young Englishman who is a scion of the aristocracy.
