THAT woman's crowning glory is
her hair had long been conceded
by connoisseurs of beauty the
world, over. 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. Brady, perhaps has th
most unusual sideline of any stage art

at her father's Summer home near
Pleasantville, New Tork. and makes it
her hobby to raise mushrooms, and thus
she -utilizes what would be otherwise
waste space.

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.

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

she lives.
Tes, Cecilia, all boarding-house pro
prietors in the movies are hard-hearted.
Bessie Barriscale, Ince star. 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

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.

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

benefactor. The latter was played by
Bertram Grassby.

Secret of the Submarine," the new

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"

received from producers in this coun

Pierce, for many months with the

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

Pierce appears in the opposite lead.
