ROYAL PICTURES.

Billie Burke long Inis enjoyed the distinction of being one of the most popular of Paramount stars. Youth and beauty, as well as mimetic talents of a high order, have contributed to make her one of the foremost figures of the screen. The fame of Billie Burke’s charming appearance and graceful mannerisms is world-wide. Women regard her gowns as a guide to what’s what in current fashions. But Billie Burke is more than an extremely attractive actress —she is an artiste. Through a long apprenticeship on the the stage she gradually worked her wqy by sheer merit from minor roles to stardom. “The Education of Elizabeth,” her latest Paramount picture, offers her the kind of role in which she won her chief fame. The heroine, Elizabeth Banks, portrayed by Billie Burke, is a chorus girl whose vivacity and freshness win the love of an aristocratic man of wealth. The comedy situations that arise arc delicious, especially where Elizabeth in her ignorance of high society delights and shocks her intended husband’s guests with her use of colloquial expressions of the dressing-room. It is a clever and wholesome dramatic comedy that will keep you happy from start to finish. This picture will be the feature to-morrow evening, and in addition will be shown Fatty Arbuckle in “Out West,” and the final episode of “The Silent Avenger.” Prices as usual, fid and Is Id.
