MARY DUNCAN
It is said that all famous men and women devote their lives not only to perfection of their own art, but also to search for some youthful hand to which they can deliver the lamp of genius with the assurance that it will be preserved and tended lovingly and worthily. Yvette Guilbert, the renowned Continental diseus© and actress, searched in vain for many years, but at last, in charming Miss Mary Duncan, she found the youth and talent she was seeking. Guilbert immediately sensed the dramatic possibilities in the young southern girl and her uncanny judgment has been vindicated. This vibrant young woman has in a few short months scaled the heights of screen popularity. Everybody in Hollywood is talking about her and her work in the Fox film, “The Four Devils.” Never before has any young artist won such instantaneous acclaim and success.
