Yesterday Girl Of the Sea- was pre-
fented for the first time TO The Play
a house patrons. This picture made an
instant success because OF the Won
derful novelty OF its production. It Is
an ideal picture for summer presen-
laton being laid for the most part
Il over and under water. Its story in
f wolves a search OF a sunken vessel.
. This Is accomplished when the hero
goes down in divers suit and roams

All or these scenes appear on the
screen. They were photographed by
means Of a submarine tube the inven-
Sion OF j. =. Williamson.
Miss Betty Hilburn is the star OF
the picture. She Is a pretty young ac-
'ress. She not only acts but sWims
remarkable well. Her work In and
under the water Is without the divers
suit. At one time she sends thrills
through the audience when she di-
Verts the attention Of an octopus by
@ swimming perilously near II TO save
her heroine.
The setting is an island in the
West Indies. The picture was taken
right on the location.

According to the picture the two
young stars play the part Of newly

Yesterday when II was presented at
The Queen Theatre it pleased very
one who aatended a showing. It's mes

Madge kennedy's delightful person
