Ray Has Reason
to Sing Praises
of Mary PickfOrd

When Mary Pickford sold Charles
Ray the screen rights to "A Tailor
Made Man." it was the first time
in cinema history that one star sold
another a story coveted by both.
Says Ray, mo one can ever say
that the United Artists is a mis-
nomer, for Miss Pickford sold me
story which she knew had long
been the apple Of my eye. and with
out making cent of profit"
Several times in the past-bcfore
"A Tailor Made Man" passed into
Miss Pickford's hands-Charles Ray
had negotiated for the purchase of
the play, but had always encoun-
tered one stumbling block or an
other.
From the moment he saw the
stage version, he wanted to enact
the role OF John Paul Bart, but had
given up all hope of obtaining the
play, when 10 and behold-no sooner
had he signed with the United Ar
fists than Miss Pickford offered it
to him.
This was rare stroke Of for
tune, for Ray had been diligently
casting about for a story befitting
his initial United Artists production
and was natuSally desirous of Sc
curing a vehicll that would enlis:
his complete enthusiasm.
Therefore, the opportunity to star
in "A Tailor Made Man" is huge
psychological factor-to the entire
advantage of the thoroughly elated
Ray.

She Has NelU Dance
Program to Delight
Omaha Orpheunaites

La Bernicia, who might be styled
queen of the dance has new
act for vaudeville that would be
quite fitting for a recital program.
This gifted young artist made an in
delible impression with her rare tai
ents when she last appeared at the
Orpheum, where she begins an en-
gagement this week.
This premiere danseuse is entire
1y too versatile to confine her pro-
gram to one set style of interprcta-
tive art. Indeed, she gives a 8iversi-
fled program ranging from classic
to jazz, and her assisting artists
vary her numbers with pleasing in
tcrludes.
In her opening number, La Ber-
nicia gives a toe speciality in ballet
costume. in which she displays grace
and skill and the mastery of the diff
ficult intricacies OF this form of
dancing. She seems to be of the
air, like a butterfly, in her caprici-
Gus abandon. She is young and quite
pretty and fashions bewitching pic
ture of animation and beauty as she
works. 1t seems like play to her.
The three assistants and a harpist
and violinist present an ensemble as
high-class as it found in two-a-day
entertainment. The staging is note
worthy and the whole effect is en-
phatic in appeal.
La Bernicia, with her Metropolitan
ballet training. has the advantage Of
fashioning authoritatively a program
OF dance and music that is never
lacking in interest, and the apprecia-
ton of her talents as artist and pro-
ducer is sustained throughout her
entire repertoire.

IN spite OF the fact that cape dresses
were being worn three months ago.
II has never been too general

but the cape models seen now on

is holding its own. and there are
enough in the fnll collections TO
