“THE HEART OF A FOLLIES GIRL”

-TO-NIGHT,

Cloepatra, legend tells us, surrounded herself with beautiful women in order that her own superlative charm might outshine them. Now we have Billie Dove, star in' First Nationn Pictures, doing the same in .films. In, “The Heart of a Follies Girl,” which is to head the cinema bill at the Princess Theatre to-night, -Miss Dove is supported by nearly 50 of Hollywood’s youngest, prettiest, and most shapeli dancing girls. They compose the chorus in scenes of the famous girl-show, and take part in intimate hack-stage scenes. Then Mildred Harris, beautiful, blond actress, and Clarissa Selwynne, have important supporting roles. No one can say that Miss Dove is afraid o feminine competition! Although tlu star has some-highly dramatic scenes, and must weep' copiously in a few of them, she is beautiful in every foot of the film. In ■“ The Heart of a Follies Girl,” incidentally, she is gorgeously costumed. From her almost negligible Follies dancing garb to her negligibh gowns, and negligee, there;-i,s grand, display of the costumier’s part. Larry Kent plays opposite Miss Dove .in the picture, and Lowell Sherman does one of his best “ villain ” roles. The usual supports will also be shown to-night.
