12 Photo-Play Journal ALMA FRANCIS Edward Thayer Monroe For many years, as time goes in the theatrical profession, the name of Alma Francis has been one of the most popular in the world of musical comedy; among some of the best knoivn successes in which she was featured by Klaw & Erlanger, were "The Pink Lady" and "The Little Cafe", both by McClellan and both of which were distinct hits at the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York and throughout the country. Subsequently, Miss Francis appeared in vaudeville in an act which is even now being elaborated into a miniature musical comedy by Edgar Allan W olff and Harry Carroll, popular writers for the "two-a-day". Immediately after the conclusion of her bookings tvith the Keith circuit with this act, however, Miss Francis will make her debut in the films, to which she has finally been persuaded to contribute her beauty, vivacity and talents. As a matter of fact, Miss Francis has already been seen on the screen, for she supported Julian Eltinge in his last picture, "The Beautiful Unknown" ; but that was in the nature of a spasmodic adventure. Now, hoivever, Alma Francis is coming to the screen for good"; and those of us who have worshipped her blonde beauty on the stage, echo the ivords "for good".
