In 1.-THE Girl Of My Dreams" charm
ing Billie Rhodes makes her initial
bow in a feature production, and
proves her right to the title of star.
Miss Rhodes has long been labeled a
commedienne Of no mean ability, but
now she demonstrates what she can do
along serious lines and enacts appeal
ingly the role of a pathetic little noun
tain girl who is buffeted about in the
unkindliest fashion until fate and the
scenario writer come to her rescue
like fairy godmothers with an interest
Ing will and the man of her choice.
"The Girl of My Dreams" Is six
part feature-an extra reel being need
ed to show Billie's legs In variety
Of moods Those who have become &C
quainted with Billie's legs through the
Strand comedies will admit that they
are worth an extra reel--or an eye or
two for that matter. Billie also poses
after the fashion of September Morn,
and this is the big point to the plot.
1t seems that prying individual with
camera caught Billie as she was
coquetting with mountain pool minus
her clothes, and he puts the picture
on display at his club, hoping to create
a scandal. 1t turns out that the man
is the girls long lost father, however,
much to- his own chagrin. OF course,
this turn quite prevents the picture
and the pose from being naughty, how
ever strenuously they had labored in
that direction.
At the Murray Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.

What a grand and glorious exis-
tence life would be if we could only
look into the future and mould our
lives as is done in "Why Would Not
Marry" the William Fox production
which opened at the Murrette theater
last night.
The play concerns man who was
willing to put his daughter on the auc-
ton block of matrimony to further his
own interests. An excellent all-star
cast is seen and in addition to real
evenings entertainment the play
teaches a moral. 1t will be shown
again today.
Filming Arizona" is radical
change in the Fairbanks policy of
stories, but it was suggested by Angus
tus Thomas, the author, and Douglas
Fairbanks, respecting the latter's
judgment, decided to adapt this we'll
known play to the screen. 1t will be
shown at the Murrette theater next
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
Needless to harp on it's dramatic
qualities. Arizona" is an American
stage classic, and judging by the en-
thusiasm that Douglas Fairbanks dis
played during the filming Of the pic
ture, it promises to be an American
screen classic.
An exceptional cast has been en-
gagged to play the principal parts. and
technical director James p. Hogan
spared no pains in his settings.
Mr.. Fairbanks plays Lieut.. Den
ton," a part that has all the charm
and qualities in keeping with the we'll
known Fairbanks personality.
The outstanding feature of the hyp-
motto state Is the unquestioning oGedi
ence and docility with which the hyp-
Noticed subject. believes, and acts in
accordance with every command or
suggestion of the hypnotizer.
This absolute sway over the
thoughts and actions of another may
well lead to fearful consequences in
the hands of constituencies master
of hypnotism. Indeed, one such case
is already know where a beautiful
young woman under this magic spell
was forced to wed a man she actually
hated. This case forms the gripping
theme of the William Fox drama, Blu
chanan's Wife," at the Murrette thea
ter Wednesday and Thursday.
The admirers of Pauline Frederick,
the beautiful Paramount star will be
much interested in the announcement
that her latest photcplay. "a Daugh-
ter Of the Old South" will be shown
at the Murrette theater next Friday
Miss Frederick portrays the role of a
Creole girl in this splendid photoplay
which was written by Alicia Ramsey
and Rudolph de Cordova, and her char
acterization is said to be essentially
different from any which she hereto
fore has essayed in motion pictures.
AS Dolores, in this pictures. Miss
Frederick delineates in captivating
