Woman starring Mildred Harris. one
of the snappiest comedy-dramatic hits
of recent months. It will be shown
at the Grand theatre tonight last
time.
"The First Woman" in which Mil
dred Harris repeats the brilliant sue
cess she achieved in "Fool's Paradise"
has to do with the experiences of a
young woman of the stage in her
efforts to convince a noted play
wright that she could act. Billie
Mayo, portrayed by Miss Harris,
was recommended to Paul Marsh,
world famous author, for the leading
role in his new drama. Marsh had
heard of her as a music hall head
liner but regarded her as unsuitable
for such an important part as the
leading one in his show. He turned
her down.
Billie, however, wasn't dishearten-
ed. She set about the task of con-
vincipg Marsh that she could act
with all the trimmings.
Percy Marmont, as Marsh the
playwright appears in support of
Miss Harris together with brilliant
cast. Pathe Weakly News and a
comedy completes the program.
