Friday evening Elsie Janis the in
ternational star, will appear in
Nearly a Lady," written by herself.
What can't Elsie Janis do? After
seeing her wonderful lariat dance
with the cowboys in her new Bos-
worth Incorporated, photo comedy.
Nearly Lady, that is the first
question that arises. Mimic, singer,
dancer, author, Elsie Janis is gifted
with the ability to assimilate any:
new pursuit and make herself so the
master of it that she outdoes those
who have been at it for years. In
NEARLY Lady," the Montana cow
boys, headed by Art Accord, the ia
nous rider, demonstrates some of
these bewildering dances with Elsie
Janis looking on. When they are
finished she frankly doffs her riding
skirt and uncomfortable riding
breeches and proceeds to do the lar
lat dance she has just seen. Nth toes
tripping prettily in perfect time she
dances inside the whirling rope
which by means of her supple wrist,
all the time describes flying hoop
around her like the hoop of crino-
line. And the marvel of it is that her
dance is far more expert than those
of Art Accord and his boys, who are
genuine cowboys, pred and brought
up on ranch and range. NEARLY
Lady," the third of the film comedies
Elsie Janis has played for Bosworth
Incorporated, is her favorite. Filled
with action of a new kind and carry
ing a pretty love story it quite justi
fies her preference.
Matinee at 3 o'clock, first night
show at 7:15. Prices 10 and 5 cents.
