Show Billie Burke in "Eve's Daughter" Is Appealing TlILIp; BURKE'S appearance on the - screen at the Paramount-Kmpress yc-sterday in the much-heralded "Eve's Daughter," proved quite as entertaining as the press agent promised in advance, in fact the entire bill has a novel twist that will appeal. Burton Holmes in Tasmania Tas-mania is well worth while; furthermore, the Pathe news carries some remarkarlo news pictures of loral interest in tlie form of the venerable president of tho Mormon chur. h playing- jrolt" In company with such well-known I'lahns as Bishop C. W. Nibley, David A. Smith and Jolm M. Brownint;, the Ogden gun inventor-The inventor-The scenes are taken on the country club links near Los An soles. ' Then, too, pictures pic-tures are shown of the Browning gun bting tested by United States troops for the benefit of visiting Kuropean' military officers, The two types of guns adopted by the United States government shown are heralded as being the acme of death -dealing weapons. The big feature of the new show which goes again today and for the following two days, Is "Eve's Daughter," with Billie Burke in a plot based on the old-time old-time melodrama idea of the stern New England father, browbeating his family and having one daughter that rebels. ; As Irene Simpson-Bates, chafing at the I restraint imposed on her by her wealthv and disagreeable old father, she breaks ! all bonds at his death. Having expected ,j at least a quarter million she is rather j disappointed to learn that a mere fifteen ! thousand is to fall to her lot, but deter- I mines to make the very best of her her- i itage. ij There are many humorous touches, a t is inevitable in a play in which this jf clever little comedienne appears, such as f the second marriage of the mother, wlin almost literally buys herself a husband jl thirty years her junior. Miss Burke a Jl Irene is a decidedly heads t rong young 1 person, and her semi-quarrels with her ;f old friend, John Norton, are amusing in n their naive sincerity. It will be remembered that Grace .; George, one of the most prominent of U our actresses, appeared in the stage vev- I1! sion of "Eve's Daughter," recently in a Broadway theater. Miss Burke has In- ! jected many nf her well-known "Burke- il, isms" and not a few new ones which :'! add decidedly to the. effectiveness of her n work. . '! ,i "Bill' ' Hart to Be Seen In ' ' Th ; Silent Man," Ince Film, at the H Rialto Theater Today. ; THE advent of a Hart picture fa very much the same as the visit of a three-ringed three-ringed circus to any community. It is an event of prime importance. I-catches I-catches the attention of every man, woman and child, for it means an entertainment en-tertainment totally unlike that which in provided by any other star of the. film world. So" the mere announcement that "Bill Hart" in his latest lnce picture is scheduled, holds quite as much interest as can possibly be crowded into any news story concerning a screen celebrity. Hart will play "Tlie Silent Man" ot ; the Rialto today, tomorrow and Wednesday. |
