GREAT MYSTERY SOLVED Delightful, piquant Billie Burke, in er latest Paramount picture, "The Mysterious Miss Terry," is as whim sically charming as ever and from the very first scene that flashes across the screen, the picture holds the breathless attention and interest of the spectator. "The Mysterious Miss Terry" is an adaptation of a story by Gelett Bur gess, the well-known author and hu morist, and marks his entrance into the field of photoplay writing. It will be at the Arcade today and tomorrow. Billie Burke, as Mavis Terry, clev erly demonstrates a novel method of finding both happiness and a hus band. The latter she does by a pro cess of slimination, that is, she goes incognito to a nearby boarding hon3e where ihe takes up the life of an or dinary -working girl although she ia io reality an heiress. Here she meets three young men who promptly fall in love with her. E;h of them is poor and strug gling for a living, although iar super ior to the types of idle young men she has known in hkr former sphere. Finding out the secret ambitions of each she is able to gratify them and thus discover which is really worth while and in earnest . ' ' I naccomplishing this purpose, the determined young heroine involves herself in many thrilling and humor ous situations such as a narrow es cape from being arrested for robbing her own house, and later for giving away some of her own gorgeous gowns. Humorous episode and thrill ing adventure follow in rapid succes sion upon the heels of each other un til a fascinating and unexpected de nouement takes place which clears the atmosphere and gives just the right "happy ending." The production was made under the direction of .T.
