The rapid rise to permanent pop)u larity of this talented Australian gir has been one of the marvels of the present year. She was well knows as a dra:atic artist In Kangarooland but had never appeared on the screet until she came to America, arount last Clhristmas, and applied to Josepl )e Grasse for work as an "extra" It his Bluebird company.

Before her first week had endet itas Lovely was acting the leadini role and blossomed forth as a star o: the sixth feature plisented in th< popular Bluebird series. Since that time she has been a-Blue. bird star at fixed intervals of ever) five weeks, having been as the star ir "Tangled Hearts" and in "The Gilder Spider." Now as the star of "Bobbi of the Ballet," she will be seen in i role that is better suited to her pe culiar gifts of physical charm anm dramatic talent than has been sup plied by any photoplay Bluebird ha: thus far provided her with. There is an intense element of ha man interest in the story. with cross current of varying Ithetnes ani counte plots to make the narrative eftectivi of gripping entertainment.
