| ~ UTE the most serious thing
Billie Burke ever attempted Is
\ The Mind the Paint Girl
| Y which she played before
| crowded house last night In
the National Theater. and in
which she will be seen throughout the
| remainder Of the week. when one
thinks of Billie Burke, ones mind con-
jures up something fluffy and pink and
white and sweet. something that appeals
TO the eye as well as the taste, like
the meringue on top OF a strawberry
parfait. She is so altogether sweet and
captivating that one asks for nothing
else. being thoroughly satisfied with her
saucy little ways, the music IN ner voice.
and her pleasing personality.
But now this is changed. Billie Burke
has emerged from the state Of being a
fluttering young butterfly person, and
has become serious and painstaking
actress. She rises to the occasion in a
manner that is surprising to those who
have watched her dramatic career close

1 am free to confess.
The play is one that suits her to the
ground. 1t Is interesting. and has sew

Story of the Play
In Which She Stars.
Billy Burke impersonates Lily PARA
dell, a London musical comedy star.
Her father kept a green grocer's shop
before he failed-then died, leaving Lily
to make living for herself and her
oil IL
partout pictures. The girl practically
grew up in the streets. until she learned
how to dance. and was given a place
in the chorus. Then sne was given
the song Mind the Paint and she
sang it So we'll that all London came
to know her as The Mind the Paint
Girl at the time the curtain goes up
on the first act.
Now she is a star and young lord Is
In love with her. and this love affair
forms the nucleus Of the plot. Lily
lives In a luxurious house in Blooms
bury, with her true type of stage
mother, and a host Of male and female
friends are constantly calling upon her.
bringing flowers and gifts. They all
like LII, because she Is a good sort;
nothing immoral about her. though she
Is surrounded by the sort Of life that
might have caused almost any girl to
ctiay thS hdiTOW pain VI
Everybody believed in Lii, and her
house was the rendezvous of them all.
These admirers are drawn with Pr
nero's usual skill. There is an old
chap whom Lily calls uncle. He admits
that he Is married, but that his wife
leaves the drama to him. It Is he who
brings young Lord Farncombe to meet
Lily, and Of course there IL love at
first sight. There Is a tremendously
grouchy old captain hanging around LII
who has always wanted to marry her.
and who brings her home from the the
ater every night
Second Act Supper
Rather Gay Affair.
The second act shows a supper given
in honor of LIS birthday. which takes
place in the foyer Of the music hall
after the audience had departed. The
Gloomy Gus OF a captain has not been
invited. because his presence would
have been in the nature of a kill-joy,
but he DISCUSSES himself as waiter.
and attends the affair anyway.
