SKILLFUL ACTING BY
FOX CHILD ACTRESS
Katherine Lee Does Unusually Skill
full Acting i'm "A Daughter
of the Gods"

The prologue of "A Daughter of
the Gods" shown last night al the
Belasco theater, is distinguished by
the unusually skillful acting of little
Katherine Lee as Nydia, and leads
us through the pitiful scene depict
ing the deaths of two mated song
birds, the immediate objects of the
hateful powers for evil oft he Witch
of Badness. These two tiny bodies
are tenderly set adrift upon the sea
by Nydia and their souls and their
love for each other are reincarnated
as Anita, "a daughter of the gods"
and a handsome prince by the Fairy
of Goodness.
The island of Jamaica as a. "loca-
ton" for the filming of this wonder
full production was a particularly
happy thought, for it furnished nat
ural settings of enchanting beauty
for all of the outdoor scenes, and by
virtue of its wealth of luxuriant trop-
ical foliage made "A Daughter of the
Gods" geographically. a picture of
unsurpassed detail.
