A SHORT STORY

ABOUT BEBE DANIELS. Bobo Daniels, who appears in “Stranded in Paris,” at the Municipal Theatre again to-day, has led a J-'fe dotted with highlights.

When three months old, she was carried on the stage by a player in “Jane.” Four years later, Bebe became the Duke of York in “Richard the Third.” “The Girl I Left Behind” was next, after which came a part in “The Squaw Man.” At the age of seven, Bebe fell in plastered his hair down on his forehead and affected a celluloid collar.” Two years later, she appeared before a camera for the first time, the picture being “The Common Enemy.” Three years at. the Sacred Heart Convent followed before she was signed to play opposite Harold Lloyd. In 1918, she became a Paramount feature.! player and in 1923, a star. October of 1926 found her winning a new five year Paramount contract. And that’s the story of Bebe Daniels, the irrepressible, lovable comedienne queen. If anything of importance has happened to her since this story was written, it’s only because Bebe’s that kind of a girl. It’s absolutely impossible to keep up with her! Colonel Harry Day, in the British House of Commons, declared that London playgoers are paying nearly £2,000,000 a year in royalties to Amerallowed to escape without contributing a penny in tax.
