the proper touch of Southern atmo-

role opposite Norman Trevor.

Lee Shubert. OF the New York pro-
ducing firm, happened to see Miss
Burton in '"Toby's Bow" and to hear
that she was leaving the cast. He
took her name and a little later. he
offered her the part that Constance
Binney now has in Rachel Crothers'

looked like Miss Burton was to get
back her part in "Toby's Bow" so
she thanked Mr.. Shubert and de-

She never did get her part back in

to try a little musical comedy. And
now-the hoodoo theory is rather in

She is undoubtedly one OF the pret-

been offered roles in pictures, notably

Alberta Burton and Her Local Jinx
Once a Spell Of Pneumonia
Laid Her Low for Eleven
Weeks Right Here in
Washington.

If you ever seen Tully Marshall
you'll wonder how Alberta Burton
ever came to be his niece.
Tully Marshall for years has held
the theatrical championship for lack
of pulchritude. He's in the movies"
now. and the last picture we saw
him in was Griffith's The Girl Who
Stayed at Home" but how he ever
came to be Alberta Burton's uncle
is one of the original seven myster-
les.
Alberta is as pretty as Tully is
homely. She is 20 years old. she's
been on the stage one year and four
months; she comes from Chicago,
and Washington Is her hoodoo town.
We met Miss Burton as she came
off the stage from the first act at
the National yesterday afternoon.
and the interview was carried out
directly under a fire extinguisher
because another young lady was US
ing Miss Burton's dressing room.
1t was interesting to hear her
tell about her Washington hoodoo.
She was playing here in ''Toot
Toot," a year ago last January. It
was her second play and it had fol-
lowed a brief and untimely engage
ment in Any gill; sequel to
George Hobart's morality play.
'Everwoman."
1t was right mere that she con-
tracted a nice little case of pneu-
monia that kept her in bed for
eleven weeks. and II you've seen AL
berta in la, La. Lucille" at the
National this week, you'll know
what the stage was missing in the
meantime.
After that spell of pneumonia,
Miss Burton decided to take a lit
tie fling at farce and she played for
a while in one called "He Didn't
Want to Do It." and then for q
while longer in she Walked In Her
Sleep
Miss Burton reappeared on the
Washington horizon a little later

production. which played at the Car
