ACTRESS DOUBLE OF
DANCER SHE IMPERSONATES

1t is seldom in stage life that the
portrayer OF celebrity chances to

parent character. and that is why
Gladys Moore's impersonation OF the
famous dancer, Adeline Genee, In
The Midnight Sons" is SO unusually
remarkable.

cred one OF the cleverest on the
stage. Were she not il would have
been folly for her TO have attempted
an imitation of Genee, for. as toe

dancers are frequently mistaken for
each other. and many an amusing ad-
venture has fallen TO Miss Moore's
lot on account OF the wonderful re-
semblance.

CHANGED to be so nearly Genee's
double. but with our wonderful wig
makers and makeup artists. real
physical resemblance doesn't cut

Moves, an indulgent father; his four
pampered sons; Mrs. Carrie Margin;
Merri Murray, a chorus lady; Pansy

tinents, will make her second bow to
Temple patrons when she appears in
that popular playhouse next week.

materials make Alice. indeed the
dress sensation of vaudeville. With
her new line OF delightful story-songs,
rendered in her own inimitable way.

artists have had the good fortune TO
do. The amusing impersonation Of
