Her newest Metro production, “Mademoiselle Midnight,” coming to thhe Rylan der Theater on Monday and Tues day which her husband, Robert Z. Leonard, directed is just as differ ent from “Fashion Row” as zhe latter is from her previous pictures. In “Mademoiselle Midnight” Miss Murray plays the part of great lady of the court of Napoleon the Third, and then the descen dant of the same character in Mex ico many years later. Both these roles lend themselves to colorful characterizations of which Miss Murray has taken full advantage. Miss Murray is admitted by members of her own sex to be the best and most originally dressed star. “Mademoiselle Midnight” gives her every opportunity to take’ advantage of her abilities along these lines. In the picturesque hoop skirts with all their quaint eighteenth century frills Miss Mur ray was never more beautiful and charming.
