...half dozen pre-talkie stars who are still front rank box-office attractions. This phenomenal record has been made in the face of the fact that for ten years she has been playing, with superficial variations but no real exceptions, one role, that of Cinderella. The news that, loaned to MGM, she was to appear in a Ben Ames Williams story originally picked for Jean Harlow started hopes that Miss Gaynor's marathon might be about to end.

A 15-in. solid gold organ plays, a silver nightingale sings by electricity. A golden chandelier is hung with pear-shaped diamonds, lighted by electric bulbs the size of wheat grains. Pumps in the dungeon and tanks in the turrets make fountains splash, chimes tinkle. For the library many an author penned a tiny book in miniature. For the walls artists painted miniature murals. Miss Moore will take...
