BILLIE BURKE AND
WONDERFUL GOWNS
"Spun Cobweb" on Sunny-Haired
Aotresa Model of Dressmakers'
Artistry.
FAMOUS MODISTES CREATE TEEM
The unusual frocks being worn by
Billie Burke, charming star of the new
George Kleine motion picture novel,
"Gloria's Romance." now running at
the Muse theater, are causing quite a
sensation. All of them are from the
studios of such famous modistes as
Lucile, Henry Bendel and Balcom.
Feminine picture goers ate reveling in
the opportunity thus afforded to see
the very newest in the way of styles, '
for Billie Burke has long been famous'
for her ability to keep well in advance;
of the current mode.
In one of the chapters of "Gloria's -Romance,"
for instance, the sunny
haired Billie wears a dance frock that
appears to be yards and yards of spun
cobweb. On a foundation of misty
blue cloth of silver is applied around
the bottom what looks like yards
and yards of silvered cobweb, though
in reality it is silvered lace, two yards
in depth. The skirt is as full as a skirt
can possibly be and longer than a
skirt has dared to be for many a
moon. In and out among the silver
threads of. the lace of this gown is
woven a narrow thread of pink rib
boA. Another broader band, of an en
tirely different shade of pink ribbon,
heads the top of this band of lace.
Then festoons of pale yellowpblack
edged silk roses are strung across
the front, sides and back of the blue
tissue.- The bodice is as small and
pointed as a bodice can well be and
still be called a bodice. It is made of
two shades of pink and over all is
draped a filmy cloud of gray blue silk
tule, silver edged.
In another chapter of the film nqvel
Billie wears a ruffled gown of the
sheerest white organdy. The skirt is
long and has around the bottom two
riffles, hand scalloped, about five
inches in width. These ruffles are very
full and run all the way around the
bottom of the hem. Around the waist
line of the skirt are two hand scallop
ed ruffles that also go all the way
around, and then at each side, con
necting these "all-the-wayaround"
ruffles, are about ten ruffles of the
same width that only go front to back
without going across the front, or
even across the back leaving a front
and back panel, as it were. The waist
that goes with this skirt is simplicity
itself.
Several of the gowns may be seen
in the chapter of "Gloria's Romance"
which the Muse theater is showing
this week and each new chapter will
show still others of the wonderful
creations specially designed by Lucile,
Henry Bendel and Balcom.

Capyrlf htad Juna, 1S1C. by Beatrla Mlchalana.
The great importance of the eyes as
audible factors in screen drama may
be gathered from the fact that, with
all the fact cov-
fWfmJ there is still op
portunity of ade
quately expressing
one's emotions. In
fact, some marvel
ous effects have
been obtained
through showing
nothing but the
eyes.
. I am about con
vinced that the
eyes are essential
to picturing all the
more intense emo
tions. However,
there are other
parts of the face and body that
can give valuable co-operation in great
emotional scenes and can furthermore
prove adequately effective on their
own account where the actor is try
ing to indicate a physical condition
rather than one of mind or soul.
The ancient Greeks had a very keens
understanding ot this, as is shown by
their wonderfully expressive sculptor
s'

inss. The tense lines around the atd.
lete's mouth spoke eloquently of the
agony of supreme physical effort just
preceding fatigue. The tumbled arms
and under lip told of drunken stupor.
The knotted cords in the naked foot
gave unmistakenable evidence of pain.
The corners of the mouth might droop
weakly or the lips set in firm deter
mination. All of this has a very large
place in motion pictures.
The impossibility of employing
spoken words makes it necessary to
utilize the last ounce of pantomime
expressiveness. One may get a great
deal of this from the eyes, but that,
is not enough. I have seen hands and
fingers that were the embodiment of
eloquence. One of the best death
scenes I ever witnessed on the legiti
mate stage was just the hand of a
drowning man showing above the
edge of the bath. Anyone who has
seen "Kismet" must remember this
particular scene. Much may some
times be told through the droop of the
shoulder or the tilt of the chin.
since tnere is so much that counts,
it is easy to understand why I should
have said two talks back that any de
cided analvaia rf th k
given to screen results, is impossible.
