The Fox Film Company is pleased to sign Lillian Bagnell up for ten years as a laugh- ing lady. The sour face of Garbo is out of date. The public wants laughs. Remember Lillian ' s ? Victor Bernabeo is now in Who ' s Who as a humorist. Though Victor smiled rarely in school days, his mirth was concealed up his sleeve.
