The Bathroom Movie Is the Very Latest Thing

Girls, what do you think of this? The latest movie hero smokes cigarettes and reads the latest fiction while bathing. Such a person is Anthony Patch, the hero of "The Beautiful and Damned,” the picture adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerlad’s novel of the same name, which will be shown for a week beginning Monday at the Palace. Anthony enjoys this form of indoor sport and practices it constantly. When Warner Brothers began filming this production, which has Marie Prevost in the starring role, they were faced with the problem of constructing an unusual bathroom that would permit Anthony to read and smoke luxuriously while bathing. Special architects were called in to the room. The bathroom, as seen in the picture, is of marble tile. Within easy reach of the bath is a little recess, consisting of hook shelves, with several dozen books reposing thereon. There is also a humidor containing choice cigarettes, and a pipe ready for Anthony when he wants to change. Miss Prevost has a strong supporting cast In this picture. It includes Kenneth Harlan, Tully Marshall, Harry Meyers, Parker McConnell, Clarence Burton, Walter Long. George Kuwa, Charles McHugh. Louise Fazenda. Kathleen Key and Cleo Ridgeley. -!- -|.
