will be resumed by the Richmond

month, Superintendent Bailey an
bounced today. No work along this
line has been done for some time be-

SPECIAL SCENARIO
MADE FOR ACTING
BY JUNE CAPRICE

William Fox, the master producer
of feature films, has made stars be-
fore. But he probably never develop
ed one, nor has anybody else in the
theatrical world, so quickly and with
such wonderful results as in the case
of little June Caprice, charming little
Miss from Boston, who bears such
striking resemblance to Mary Pick
ford and who is just out of school.
June Caprice has freckles and doesn't
mind at all
She has featured as a co-star with
handsome Harry S. Hilliard in the
Fox feature film of out-of-door life,
Caprice of the Mountains" at the
Murrette Monday, scenario written
especially for her first appearance
with Mr.. Hilliard. Mr.. Fox is taking
Miss Caprice out of ordinary life and
suddenly making her star, so conf
dent is he that she has the face and
the fancy to become great actress
of the wholesome American type. And
Mr. Fox has made stars before, as
showmen would say, from the
ground up"
