JUKE CAPRICE DISCOVERY ! It has long been maintained ,by movie fans and those who have been i directing the industry that any pretty, unaffected girl, if properly directed and photographed, would become a star almost immediately. '"'.'. Not so long ago, William ' Fox .' thought so, too, and he sent out search j ers to seek', a beautiful, winsome, j happy little miss who lived with her 'parents or was studying at some i girls' school and who knew almost j nothing of the rough ' side of the t world. .The girl was found in Ar l;nfton, .near Boston. In her home ; town she was often mistaken for i Mary Pickford, who first attracted the , attention of the movie fans through. out ,tne wona. uunng tne worms : base ball series June Caprice ap- feared at' the game in place of Miss ickforet and was wildly cheered by 30,000 fans, she was photographed by the newspapers and interviewed by ' the reoorters of a score of cities and not one-of them ever suspected that ?; he was 'not talking to "Little Mary" f herself. Miss Caprice is a girl of which the movie world has never heard, and yet he has been starred in a big produc tion, called "Caprice of the Moun i tains," along with Harry S. Hilliard real star handsome movie actor, 3' Her name means nothing at yet, I but her beauty means much, and .the critics say that within the year she i will be one of the best-known movie .stars on the screen. It may prove ' the theory that the high-priced stars i are unnecessary to the film industry. At any rate, movie fans in Omaha will see her first screen appearance at the Strand this week.
