AMERICAS LOVELIEST AND MOST
 POPULAR HEADING LADY" MAKES
 HER PREMIER BOW IN THE "MOV
Ry DOLLY pALRYMPLE

A LLOW me to present my friend, 1 "A Miss Billie Burke, on the screen. 4 Strictly speaking, it is film company" that presents her. but it is my pleasure to promote your acquaintance with her as you see her for the first time | in pictured form.
 Were I required under the pain of los ing my head or some other terrible pro- cess, to sum Billie Burke up in a single phrase, I shSuld say that "she is Amer ica's most popular and lovelest leading lady," the last word is quite permissible when applied to the charming Miss my mind to merit it; prettiness and beauty are words that we often attribute to Heading ladies'" but they are possessions peculiarly Billie Burkes own.
 Lovely" Yes. I guarantee it Qm fond of the good old serviceable word anyway aren't youD It means beautiful and more; exercise your memory a bit and you will summon visions of scores of beautiful women who were not and never could be and never would be- lovely. Loveliness wraps round all the other attributes as womans opera cloak envelops her form, warming her and em- phasizing her beauty, suggesting her charms it refuses to reveal.
 Loveliness, should say, is the atmos- phere of beauty corresponding to the soft afternoon haze on a landscape.
 You ask for plans and specifications for details?
 Certainly; you shall have them.
 In the first place, Billie Burke's initial play for the screen, Peggy" is an ador- able little Scotch drama written for about and around her; it fits her like her beautiful Paris gowns fit; it is becoming to her like her wonderful Vianese bonnets are; it gives her a chance to piourette and dance and swish about with all her Billie Burke-isms" at her finger tips; it is deliciously unconventional; her esca- pades as the little American heiress who after the death of her parents decides to live with an uncle in Scotland give her the chance of her life, as in her inim- itable way she upsets the entire village shocking everything and everybody by her pranks, most of all her dour old rela- tive.
 We have the adorable Billie pictured in Peggy in all of her moods and lenses; also, in all kinds of costumes; in short dresses and long dresses, in pajamas, dlu-Wndt oo you lnlnk!-trouSerS, Just like 8 boys, and believe me- they are awfully becoming to the fair Billie be- cause Billie has two perfectly good req sons for wearing, trousers; one for each trouser; and we must say that however Billie is clad Cor unclad) the more we see of her the better we like her.
 'Peggy's" ways are merely Billie Burkes ways electrified, for they are full of charm, winning everything and everybody at the last.

Caleb threw his sister one lugubr.
ously helpless glance. Sarah had chOk-
ed apparently upon a crumb Of bread
and was coughing stranglingly.
This time when Caleb lifted his eyes
he met a startled CLEAN behind Sarah's
half dropped lashes. She was peerin9
steadily into the boys lean, untroubled
face. Caleb voiced the query which he
knew must be behind her quiet intent
ness.

is no fault of the company, or those

that has had much to do with inter-
