DOROTHY BURGESS’S ROLES

Dorothy Burgess has gone through a deepening transformation of colour in her acting career. She started in Hollywood with a stage performance as the axnber-hued gipsy in “The Squall”; grew darker as the Mexican charmer in the talking film “In Old Arizona,” and now has achieved the logical climax by playing, on leave of absence from Fox Films, the ebony siren in a Western production of “Lulu Beele;.” Miss Burgess will have to ease herself back to the paleface status by playing Indian or Chinese roles, or theatregoers will not r€»cognise her if she comes out suddenly as one of the white race. WOMEN’S PART IN THE WAR ‘•She Goes the Limit," previously known as "She Goes to War," a sound synchronised United Artists picture, reveals l'or the first time the most authentic picture of woman's side of the war. Heretofore pictures have shown only man's side of the great conflict, but this dramatic romance reveals the workings of the power that upheld man's courage, shouldered guns with him and inspired him when he was wounded and weary. Woman comes into her own in a magnificent portrayal of feminine heroism. cast solely because of their fitness for the different roles, the players in this epic film give performances that will ever be remembered. Eleanor Boardman, John Holland, A 1 St. John and Edmund Burns head the talented company.
