BILLIE BURKE AT
 THE STRAND TODAY

Billie Burke is at the Strand for today and tomorrow in her smashing Paramount success, The Education of Elizabeth
 Billie Burke, of the winsome smile and the magnetic personality. has all ways been counted among the most popular girls of the screen. She has been fortunate in the selection of the stories in which she has appeared, for every one of them has been of the romantic turn, with just enough com edy to keep one smiling and just enough "girlishness" to make it charming and fast enough to please the most hardened picture follower.
 Such a production is The Educa- tion of Elizabe
 The story is one of chorus girl along Broadway, carefree and light hearted. Somebody wished off on Elizabeth an introduction to Thomas Fairfax, bounder proud of his fam fly name, prouder of himself and al- together impossible. But Elizabeth figured that his bank account was not to be sneezed at. and when Thomas suggested marriage Eliza beth said ''yes" so quick that Tommy hardly knew what it was all about | Thomas considered the family name | above everything else, and he took Elizabeth to live with his austere aunt and his younger brother. That's about the biggest mistake Thomas ever made. The younger brother was l a demon and Elizabeth just couldnt | 1 help it if she ''vamped' him. What with trying to be an aristocrat, try | ing to tell herself that she loved one man when her heart insisted she was head over heels in love with his 1 brother, embarrassing the household | with her fluent use of Broadway slang, Elizabeth had any fair CO., ed beat mile when it came to gaining l an education. How did it come out
 It would spoil a delightfully."- different picture to even hint at it.

riage, the girl believes in his tale of love. and half way gives him her promise. But the sailor leaves for a year, during which Gordon Deane, a novelist, visits the place and Cherry falls in love with him at sight. But he is called away and Cherry lost in disappointment, becomes hardened to all men. Terrence O'Day is shortly afterward killed in a brawl, and Cherry, alone in the world, con sents to a marriage proposed by Will liam Blaine, a wealthy banker. But her marriage is but the beginning of the strange tale which again finds both the sailor and the novelist en- terlng her life. At this poins the story swings to a lonely lighthouse on an island lat the end Of the world" to which Deane has gone to write book, taking with h'm Mac Gregor and man nams1 Harvey, an- other one infatuated with Cherry. Deane is ignorant that these men have both loved Cherry, and this ele- ment gives rise to the stirring situa- tions which the author mas built into the story.
 It is a picture which furnishes Betty Compson with admirable ma terial at the same time offering the opportunity for the display of a wealth of Oriental beauty in settings and costumes.
