The Toast of the Town
It was Justine Johnson as long as she was willing.

LL Broadway talked about her — all New York toasted her. She was the prettiest chorus girl in town, and everybody went to the Follies to applaud her golden-haired, blue-eyed beauty. That was in 191 5. Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, she'd begun her professional career as one of the children in "The Blue Bird ;" now she was well started toward the heights.
And Justine Johnson went on and on. The next year she was a principal in the Follies. Then she went into musical comedy— was given parts, was made a star. She started the smart, gay "Little Club." where everybody who was anybody went to dance after the theater.
Then — she vanished. "Married some obscure millionaire and retired," guessed Broadway disgustedly. "Grown tired of the game and wanted to retire when she was at the very top," suggested Fifth Avenue wisely. They were both wrong.
For Justine Johnson had decided that she wasn't at the top — not the one she wanted to reach, at least. So she slipped away and joined Poli's Stock Company, in Waterbury, Connecticut, last summer. She played one part each week while she studied and rehearsed another. The proverbial slave couldn't have worked much harder. In the center of the page you can see that brains, not beauty, were Justine's god in the summer of 1919; the picture shows her in her first role in "stock."
And now you can see the results, if you'll watch for "Moonlight and Honeysuckle," the first Realart picture in which she is starred. It's made from a successful play, and if Justine's beauty can make it so, it ought to make a corking good movie.
