'"The Heart of a Follies Girl," now being screened at tho Strand Theatre, shows Billio Dove in her latest role. In addition to the colourful atmosphere of the Follies, tho picture has a really wonderful dramatic plot. The story deals with the love of a Follies Elrl for tho private secretary of a wealthy admirer, and the subsequent sacrifices she makes for the impoverished and not quite worthy hero. Her nobility of-conduct eventually, brings out the real man In her lover, and a logical happy ending results. Larry Kent is tho private secretary, and Lowell Sherman the wealthy admirer: Mildred Harris, Clarissa Selwyqne, and other well-known screen artists head a cast that also includes fifty; beautiful dancing girls. The second ■ feature, "For Alimony Only," features Leatrlco Joy in a picture with an unsual plot.

Too unhappy to care about anything, sho runs away to a notorious roadhouse with Narclssa's second husband.
