"f-T is positively wonderful what a ere
I ator of fashions like Lucile can do
with a few yards of organdie and
a bolt of' ribbon.
Lucile has been so inspired by Billle
Burke as Gloria, the heroine of Mr. and
Mrs. Hubert Hughes' motion picture
novel, that Bhe has even-surpassed her
self, and. the various gowns being worn
by Billie Burke in this photoplay will
long be remembered as the most stylish
ever screened.
Dresses of pink, of blue, of yellow,
of green, In pastel shades, in crude
gorgeous oriental colors, subdued, dar
ing, of everything you can imagine and
some that you never dreamed of, have
been seen. But it remained for a
white organdie gown to be perhaps the
most effective of all.
Anyone with an imagination less
finely developed than Lucile would have
trimmed, this exquisitely fine piece of
organdie with lace or ruffles, or some
thing, but not so Lucile. Appreciating
the snowdrop-like delicacy of the fab
ric. Lucile, with the appreciation of
the true artiste, would have nothing
to detract from its beauty in the way
oi trimming, relying on her skill as a
designer to supply the fine lines that
would "make" the gown.
As usual, Lucile was right. The skirt
Is full and long and has two panels,
one in front and the other at the back.
These panels have hems about 15 inches
deep. And every stitch is put In by
hand, 6f course. The sides or this un
usual skirt have a hem about Ave inches
in depth only, but to make up for this
apparent lack there is a cluster of four
tucks about 10 inches above the hem.
The waist is dignified in its simplic
ity and sweetness. There is a little
plain vestee, cut low and rounded.
Down each side are repeated the clus
ter of four tucks and once more the
hemming is all done by hand and la a
Joy to behold.
The long sleeves are unique, inas
much as they have long cavalier cuffs
that reach nearly to the fair Billie'i
dimpled elbow. This old-world note is
repated in the long, rounded cavalier
collar that extends nearly to the waist
line in the back.
A rose-dowered ribbon Is twined
around the waist and ends in a pert
little bow, as If to say, "It's not every
ribbon that would be chosen to be the
only note of color on a dress of such
beauty as I possess."
Chapter 14 of "Gloria's Romance."
called "The Floating Trap." continues
the adventures of Gloria Stafford In
search of the murderer of her lover,
Richard Freneau. Its name recalls
the boathouse occupied by the mur
derer, the man who killed the vicious
Freneau to avenge the wrongs of his
daughter.
While preparing her trousseau for
the ceremony which is to unite Gloria
and Freneau the latter disappears, and
his dead body is found floating in the
river. Gloria was a witness to the
murder, or at least saw Freneau struck
down, and vows to And the man who
has robbed her of a husband. Her fam
ily, Judge Freeman, her father-in-law.
and Dr. Royce. a friend and admirer,
are anxious that the Incident be closed,
for Freneau's many love affairs are
known, as well as an intrigue being
conducted between the man and Free
man's daughter, married to, Gloria's
brother. However, Gloria is not to be
dissuaded and undertakes a single
handed search for the murderer. She
sees him while a visitor at the night
court, but the man escapes. Gloria
follows him to a Bowery saloon-dance-ball
and there becomes Involved in a
riot, from which Royce extricates her.

Majestic Theater Presents Societj
Four-Recler Today.
"Veda the Vampire." the Portland so
ciety four-reeler which has been the
consuming center of interest for many
of the belles and beaux of the city for
weeks, receives its premier at the Ma
jestic Theater today, where it is to be
screened all week for the benefit of
th People's Institute.
That interest in the picture is keen
was evidenced at the turnout to witness
preliminary footage exhibited more than
a week ago. The advance sale of seats
has been heavy for Monday night, when
society folk will attend in large num
bers. Just what the story of "Veda, the
Vampire" is no one seems to know out
side of the small circle of the elect
tha players. "She goes around making
people Jealous." explained one of the
etars of the production. However, a
number of prominent people are in the
cast, while the backgrounds for the
action are furnished in and around the
homes of the elite.
A scenic reel, picked especially- for
the programme, and the Pathe-Majestic
news service of local and world-wide
events, will comprise other numbers on
xne programme.

comprise the Sunset Theater programme
commencing today. A Bray cartoon
comedy will be an added attraction on
this well-balanced bill.
Miss Frederick plays the role of a
haughty gypsy girl in this Paramount
feature, "The Moment Before." The
story opens in England, with the Duke
and Duchess of Maldon seen lavishing
gifts upon the deserving poor. The
duchess is horror-stricken when she
hears church chimes tolling the noon
hour, for gypsies had prophesied that
the chimes at noon would forecast her
death.
The prophecy comes true, for the
duchess dies In church at high noon,
but before death the past looms up in
her terrified mind. She sees herself
as Madge, a sneering, flirting, gypsv
maid. Her husband. John, is at her
side as they wind their way through
the forest. His brutality cowers her
and she despises his very sight. Two
game wardens and Harold, the second
son of the Duke of Maldon, hear fhe
shot as John fells a deer. Madge and
Harold meet, as John' is apprehended;
fascination seizes them both. Harold
pardons John, and husband and wife de
part. Harold meets Madge several times,
both feeling more interested in each
other at each meeting. They are caught
while kissing by John. A fight is
avoided only by her keen wits. At
Harold's departure, however, she stabs
John in the arm anj flees. Madge's
steps take her to the mansion of Har
old where she is given employment,
much to the disapproval of Lionel, the
heir to the dukedom.
After a fight and flight In which
Lionel Is killed, John and Madge take
refuge in Australia, Harold, unknow
ingly does likewise.
They meet and John is killed at the
hands of Madge. The two lovers then
make their way to England where they
reign Jointly over the late Cuke's vast
territories.

of Sidney Drew who is starring in
Metro-Drew comedies.
Can you picture Dorothy Glsh in cute
Holland attire, big wooden shoes, volu
minous skirts, bodice and quaint Dutch
cap? She appears in such raiment in
the opening scenes of her new Triangle

Holland. For these scenes a special

a result has had to undergo no little
Joshing.
'At the Paths studios Norman Tharp
has been acting in motion picture pro
ductions under tha direction of George
Fltzmaurlce. One day last week the
players reached a scene where a dog
belonging to the dead heroina climbs
up on the casket containing her body
and howls. The dog being used be
longed to Tharp.
The scene was rehearsed several
times and once actually played before
the camera, but in each Instance the
dog refused to follow Instructions.
Finally, in order to obtain the desired
effect, the heroine was removed from
the casket, and Tharp. the dug's mait
cr. substituted.
The onlookers out front will never
know that the dog Is grieving over
the wrong corpse.
