Pretty Alice Brady Has Youth and Enthusiasm, Beauty and Popularity to Her Credit and is Now
 at the Head of Her Own Film Corporation, Too
By DOLLY pALRYmpLr

"A LICE BRADY must have had a
 N\ whole slough of fairy god S = mothers to preside over her when she was little bitty," for she Is one of those rare persons who has youth and enthusiasm, beauty and popu- larity to her credit all at the same time. It Is seldom that this combination works, for youth usually does its lit- tie turn, then enthusiasm, then beauty and finally popularity, after the other three have worn themselves to fraz- gle; but-Alice Brady is the embodi- ment of all four as you nice movie fans" in Birmingham have a perfectly good chance to see for yourselves this week while she is appearing at the Bijou.
 When I went to call on Miss Brady yesterday soon after she arrived, I found her even prettier and more at tractiye than when I had the pleasure of spending d morning with her in New York last spring at the World Film corporation studios. where she was working then; now, if you please she is Miss Alice Brady, head of the Alice Brady Film corporation, which is incorporated, owned and managed by the clever young lady herself
 Alice Brady is wonderful type; she is clever and bright and youth smiles from her pretty eyes with merry twinkle, and she is alway the center of attraction every where she goes; she hasn't a"kick" to register against anything or anybody in the world; everything has come her way and she is the happiest girl alive; she tells you so herself.
 T used to yearn to do things things that seemed almost impossible for girl of IS (that was about two years ago, if you please). Things like wanting to play 'Rosalind'," Miss Brady said as she presented beauti, full picture yesterday in her apartments at the Tutwiler, clad in some sort of indescribable pale green and white dla- phanous chiffons, with touches of err mine here and there-long sapphire ear rings and a wonderfully becoming boudoir cap of lacy stuff completing very a1luring costume. "Then-in those days [ never dreamed of-pictures. In fact to be quite exact, I was singing with DeWolff Hopper in The Mikado and yearning to play Shakespeare
 And she hasn't quite gotten over that ambition yet, as I observed yesterday when I talked to her; and why shouldn't pretty Alice Brady want to play Rosalind now. while she is still in possession of all the wonderful at tributes that she Is endowed with just as saw her yesterday, with the possible exception of course of the pale green Parisienne creation that she wore. for one could hardly imagine the fair "Rosalind" bedecked in a Poiret or Paquin gown!
 While it is eminently true that Alice Brady entered upon life peculiarly sit uated with regard to the stage, never- theless this very peculiarity of situa- tion may have some influence toward preventing her from realizing her ann bition. She has been subjected to the glare of professional criticism as well as public opinion. The members or her craft have had their eyes on her all the time in a more or less crafty fash ion and she has been given credit by them for doing something only after she has done it a whole lot better than anyone else ever did it before, for pret- ty Alice Brady Is the daughter of the famous Mir William A. Brady, manager and producer, now turning his atten- ton to pictures, In which his only daughter is a beautiful star, and so much has been expected of this won derful girl that 1t has been rather hard, and yet most of the expectations have been realized.
 Miss Brady was born in New York and
