BILLIE BURKE'S HAIR IS BIG PART OF HER BEAUTY Tresses Are Declared Amenable to Every Whim of Popular Film Actress Who Is Appearing in "Gloria's Romance." - 1 " it il i u HklL n 5 '.

But never has such glori ously beautiful, burnished-gold hair been bestowed on a dainty bit of fem ininity as that which crowns the grace ful head of Billie Burke, the $4000-per-week star of the George Kleine mo tion-picture novel, "Gloria's Romance." Undeniably her wonderful hair has done much to win for Miss Burke the reputation for beauty which she bears. Not that she is not endowed in a hun dred other ways with the attributes of beauty, for her lovely laughing eyes, her pearly teeth and her peaches-and-cream complexion are the envy of everyone who beholds her; but, after all, it is her hair which first impresses you with her charm. The fair Billie is unusually fortunate In having tresses with a natural wave, which makes them amenable to her every whim of arrangement, and never was there an actress before who knew eo exactly the sort of coiffure most be coming to her particular style of beauty. She doesn't follow the sugges tions of any hairdresser and therefore never makes the mistake of wearing her hair in a fashion that might be be coming to someone else, but for her would prove wholly impossible. She possesses individuality to' a striking degree and knows exactly how most effectively to drape those gloriously burnished locks in front and how best to arrange the alluring little curls that play around her pink little ears. The following is a brief synopsis of chapter one of 'Gloria's Romance," leading up to the succeeding chapter, "Caught by the Seminoles": Gloria Stafford, daughter of Pierpont Stafford, millionaire banker, and sister of David Stafford, goes to Palm Beach, Fla., with her family to spend the "Winter. There they meet Judge Free man and his daughter, Lois, old friends of the Staf fords, and Gloria Is intro duced to Dr. Stephen Royce, a good looking young physician, who is at tending Judge Freeman. Gloria re sents the tasKs set her by her gov erness, who has cared for her since the death of her mother, and welcomes the assistance of Dr. Royce in solving ner aigeDra proDiems and other lessons. David Stafford grows to admire Loia Freeman, but finds that he has a rival iu mo peiHun oi jtiicnara j?reneau, a young broker, who strikes up an ac quaintanceship with both the Freeman ana tstarrord rami lies. . One night Gloria slips awav from be. beneath the watchful eyes of her gov erness and goes for a spin along the Deacn in ner Drotner's big racing car. Suddenly the steering gear goes wrong ana tne Dig motor swerves straight out into tne Atlantic. Gloria manages to get safely out of the car, her dress wet and bedraggled, and sets off for th note! afoot. She loses her way, how ever, and dawn finds her a lonesome, homesick little maid, wandering in the everglades. Screen Gossip rpHOSB who make their play work X- also make their work play. This paradoxical situation refers to the act ress who is working at her play (act ing) and who later works harder dur ing her playtime. Gail Kane works from eight to -18 hours a day .at the studio. When her day has been fairly normal, and she is not worn out, she devotes two hours of her spare time to the cutting of cameos. Alice Brady, the charming daughter of William A.

And Frankie was some wasp,, already. When Peggy Hyland made her now classic remark that American directors are superior to English directors, James Klrkwood, figuratively speaking, arose and bowed his acknowledgment. It is under his direction that Miss Hyland who- is a well-known British star, is making her American screen, debut in Famous Players productions on the Paramount programme in an adapta tion of Henry Arthur Jones' "Saints' and Sinners." Annette Kellermann, the star of the big William Fox Sl.OOO.OOO picture, is just beginning to get rid of the tan which she accumulated during her eight months' stay in Jamaica in the making of the picture. All the others will have to go through a thorough course of beautifying before they can be used In other pictures. www True Boardman, who rose to fame with the Western Esaanay outfit, at Niles, CaL. and has added still more laurels to his career in the title role of Kalem's "Stingaree" series, is now go ing to prove that he is a veritable dare-devil by appearing in some of the future episodes of "The Hazards of Helen." the Kalem railroad series. Dorothy Green, the star of "Souls Aflame." a forthcoming five-part Metro production, is passionately fond of purple. She has most of her ' gowns and hats made in that color, and has a peacock for a pet, which she keeps on the roof of the uptown hotel where she lives.

In the production now under way at the Los Angeles studlos.ls wearing a black wig for the first time since she appeared in "The Rose of ,the Rancho." Bessie photographs beautifully in her own blond locks, but in the picture she had to appear as an Italian maid, and so nothing would do but a big black wig. Cleo Madison. Universal, began her professional life by answering the ad of a dramatic teacher, through whom she secured a road engagement. Burton Holmes, the well-known trav eler, whose motion pictures are pre sented to millions of people exclusively on the Paramount programme, was born in Chicago January, 1870. ana made his first European tour in 1886. The material for his first lecture was gathered in, 1890, it being on the sub ject, "Through Europe With a Camera." He was at that time an amateur and his lecture was presented to tne mem bers of the Chicago Camera Club, of which he was a member. He has traveled ever since that time, covering many millions of miles, thus gathering .a most valuable collection of pictures. ' Director Will S. Davis, Fuller Mel lish' and an entire' company of William Fox stars and players have departed for Savannah. Ga., where they will spend the next two weeks completing Virginia Pearson's third picture since she joined the Fox organization. Louise Emerald Bates, the beautiful Thanhouser girl, could not see the use of spending all her precious time writ ing .short stories and not selling them. Therefore, she finally decided to come to the great and only New York City to seek a professional career. She had always cherished a longing to play in a Broadway production, so she applied for a position in the chorus of the fa mous Winter Garden show, which she later secured after a display of unlim ited patience. A two-reel Universal 11m now being made is entitled "When the Wolves Howl." This is .under the direction of Cleo Madison and is from & scenario by W. V. Mong, who plays the leading part opposite Miss Madison, that of an unfortunate artist. There are but three principal parts in the story, that of the artist and his wife and their benefactor. The latter was played by Bertram Grassby. Eight of the 15 chapters of -"The Secret of the Submarine," the new American-Mutual photo-novel, starring Thomas Chatterton and Juanita Han sen, have been completed. From no less assuming and modest an authority than the press agent, who sent a photograph of Clara Kimball Young to the Mutual Welfare League at Sing Sing Prison, we glean that the convicts expressed their appreciation of the portrait In a long letter, which ended as follows: "Thanking you again in behalf of the league for the beautiful picture, and hoping to have the pleasure of seeing you here aoon, we remain, etc" m m m Billie Reeves, the English acrobatic comedian, has completed his contract with the Lubln Company and is now negotiating with a number of producers in New York through the Amalgamated Photo Play Service.

Winnifred Greenwood makes her sec ond appearance as a featured star in Masterpictures, de luxe edition, in "A Mac's Soul," recently completed at the American Studios under the direction of Edward Sloman. Louella Maxim, who has had a very wide experience before the camera, fol lowing her work in the support of Chester Conklin In "Bucking Society," was made a member of the Keystone stock company. Another recent addi tion to the Keystone company is Peggy Pierce, for many months with the L-Ko. Mack Sennett has decided that Hank Mann is too good a comedian to be lost from the screen by directing and so has selected Edward Klein to direct him. On ,ot the most recent subjects in which Mann plays the star part is "His Bread and Butter." In this Peggy Pierce appears in the opposite lead. Children In Pontiac.
