Marie, Ltd" Alice Brady's latest
Select picture, which can be seen at
the Washington theatre Friday and
Saturday Of next week, is assuredly
one of the best pictures she has ever
made. Miss Brady Is cast in a role
for which she is well fitted and gives
an admirable characterization of the
girl who gave up promising career
to take position In her mothers fash
ionable millinery establishment on
Fifth avenue.
All the true metropolitan atmos-
phere is seen In this remarkably real
istic story. Traff1c-crowded, people
filed Fifth avenue, the exclusive hat
shop of Marie, Ltd" a train hold-up
all are true to life and furnish an
excellent background for this clever
and versatile Select star.
The story is clean, breezy and fasci-
mating, with just enough heart-interest
to make it appeal to all classes. The
plot is absorbing; the characters, hui
man ones, each actor portraying to
the best of his ability-which is some
ability when you consider the cast in
the picture-the role he assumes.
Marie. Ltd" is the story of girl
who comes east to help her mother in
her fashionable millinery establish
ment On the train she meets Blair
Carson, who falls in love with her on
sight. They promise to see much Of
each other. but things do not mate
rialiZe as they expected. Colonel Lam
bert, an old roue, falls in love with
Drina, and her mother Is anxious that
she marry him. How Blair saves Marie
and her daughter from a very embar-
RAISING position is told with tact and
skill in the following chapters of the
story.
Among those in the cast are Frank
