For many years comedienne sec
ond to none on the legitimate stage,
Billie Burke has become equally IA
nous in refined comedy in motion pic
lures. She has irresistible charm and
artistry, and her character portray
ais are distinguished by exquisite
daintiness and finish. Her chic, bouy-
ancy and magnetism have won for her
clientele Of such vast PROPORTIONS
as will insure her popularity as long
as she chooses to devote her talents
to the art she adorns. She is a deep
student, a conscientious worker a
jealous artist, and her conception of
the individual requirements of each
role she essays is splendidly rein
forced by mimetic genius of the high
est order. In her latest photoplay,
"Good Gracious, Annabelle!" she has
a delightful characterization, the pic
ture being one of unusual attractive
ness, real comedy, and strong dra-
matte action, and thrilling situations.
In the story as a girl of 16 years,
she is kidnapped by a man she Meth
Ell knows or cares for and is forced
to marry him, afterwards leaving him
without even knowing his name. How
the time intervening passes for them
both and their final meeting is cap
tivatingly revealed in suspense and
refined comedy as only Billie Burke
can portray. At the Please U to-
morrow.
