BILLIE BURKE AND WONDERFUL GOWNS “Spun Cobweb” on Sunny-Haired Actress Model of Dressmakers’ Artistry. FAMOUS MODISTES CREATE THEM 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- bort. Another broader band, of an en- tirely different shade of pink ribbon, heads the top of this band of lace. Then festoons of pale yellow;~black 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 rdffles, 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-way-around” 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—Ileaving 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 chaptér will show still others of the wonderful creations specially designed by Lucile, Henry Bendel and Balcom. “THE RAIDERS” ON TODAY’S SCREEN BILL AT LOTHROP “The Raiders,” a story of Wall Sereet, is on the screen at the Lothrop today and Monday, with H. B. War- ner in the leading role. The stor; deals with an attempt by a Wlfi Street broker to ruin a man, who is away on a vacation. How the office man and the wealthy man’s daughter fight the raider is an exciting theme. For the balance of the week the Lothrop offers Tuesday, Orrin John- son in “Satan Sanderson,” with a Sydney Drew comedy. Wednesday, a return engagement of “Acquitted.” Thursday, “For a Woman's Name.” Friday, Jane GreyVin “The Waifs.” Saturday, Lionel Barrymore in “The Yellow Streak.” “REVELATION” IS OFFERED AT SOUTH SIDE ORPHEUM “Revelation,” at the Orpheum, South Side, a highly dramatic story taken from the German play, “Heim- at,” is the life history of an ambitious young singer who tuns away from home to the city of Paris, but finds the road to success a hard and weary drudge. She is forced to do things that cause her pride to suffer and her heart to weep, but she finally wins her goal and becomes famous as an opera singer. Thee story is full of dramatic scenes and the climax is “Revelation.” Talks With Screen-Struck Girls By BEATRIZ MICHELENA—No. 13 Copyrighted June, 1916, by Beatriz Michelena. The great importance of the eyes as audible factors in screen drama ma be gathered from the fact that, witl all the fact cov- ered but the eyes, 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, f 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. und_c_ntandinf of this, as is shown by their wonderfully expressive sculptor- ings. The tense lines around the ath- 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 qunce 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 there is so much that counts, it is easy to understand why I should The ancient Greeks had a very keeny| have said two talks back that any de- jcided analysis of the features, best given to screen results, is impossible, /3
