Mrs. Queen Moore's
First Fall Release
"Why Girls Leaue Home

BEAUTIFUL katherine Perry, who
- has recently become the bride Of
Owen Moore, the noted screen come
dian, has prominent role in the
forthcoming Warner Bros feature,
why Girls Leave Home" which Is
announced for immediate release. Mrs.
Moore furthermore has a character
part. This does not necessarily imply
that this charming young actress has
hidden her beauty beneath a gray wig
and coat Of grease paint. On the
contrary, she Is presented in q role that
acCentuatcs her charm, for she Is de-
picted as one of that ultra modern type
Of feminine charmers immortalized by
David Belasco in his production The
Gold D!ggers."
IN THE role of Edith Lamar, Miss
Perry gives n skillful portrayal of q
shrewd, blasc young woman. who makes
a good living by capitalizing her good
looks and exploiting to her own per-
sonal advantage her charms. Wise be-
yond her years, she skates skillfully on
the thin ice of unconventionality with
out breaking through. In the character
of Edith she explains herself in a title
which states. 1T is purely a business
proposition with mo, dance and dine
with jaded business men and in return
they, repay me with tips on the mar
ket."
The many elaborate scenes in "Why
Girls Leave Home" afford Miss Perry
several opportunities to wear gorgeous
gowns, and the spectator who sees her
IN this picture, produced by Harry
Rapf. will not wonder why Miss Perry
was awarded tho Golden Apple as being
the most beautiful girl in New York

LETTER REACHES ITS
DESTINATION JUST 4
YEARAFTERMAILINC

A TRIBUTE to the efficiency of the
"A postal service of various European
nations as well as to that of our own
Government was paid last week when
Mary 'Pickford received a letter that
had followed her all through Europe
at the tlme she and Douglas Fairr
banks were honeymooning abroad.
This letter was mailed from Miss
Pickfords studio in Hollywood nearly
a year ago for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning Miss Pickford's popularity
abroad and also to test the efficiency Of
the continental postal system. The
envelope was addressed Mary Pick
ford, Europe" This epistle was started
on its way shortly after Miss Pickford
and her husband sailed for London from
New York. Great care was taken. Of
course, TO start the letter so late that
1t would arrive in England after the
famous newlyweds had gone to France.
This began the race between the letter
and these stars.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Fairbanks re-
turned from their travels. 1t was learned
that the missive never caught up with
them and those responsible for this
unique correspondence Handicap" be-
lieved that the stunt had failed. I'm
agine their surprise when Miss Pickford
received the letter from her companys
New York office.
When the letter arrived the envelope
was so badly mutilatcd that it could
not be saved. but postmarks indicated
that the missive followed the honey
moontrs over their entire itinerary. The
postmarks that could be read showed
that the letter had passed through Lon
don. Paris, Coblenz, Brussels, Berne,
Nice and Versailles"
1t Is estimated that this letter trav-
eled at least 10000 miles, oil on a four
cent stamp, and that 1t taxed the in
genuity Of postal workers in at least
four Old World capitals.

After two or three hundred yards

Of the famous and notorious order Of
