THE UNIVERSAL WEEKLY FRITZI BRUNETTE. The New Victor Star. During the two months that it has been released the Victor brand of films has. won great popularity amongst ex- hibitors all over the world. To begin with the name Victor being happily chos- en the word rolls readily from the tongue. And then there are Victor Ex- changes, so the name is fairly well known to the exhibiting public. There is a great deal in a name. The choice of Victor was a happy one, and in the performance it has justified itself. For the Victor releases of the Universal Company have been wonderfully good sellers. d hey will continue to be good sellers, because it is the determination of those responsible for the production of the Victor films to keep them up to the high water mark of narrative, acting and photographic quality. Owen Moore, as we say elsewhere, plays the main leads in the Victor films. And now comes op- posite to him Fritzi Brunette. Fritzi has made a name for herself in the film world in the Powers pictures. She is a girl of very great gifts and above all things of very great acting ability. She becomes the new Victor star and the releases in which Miss Brunette appears will, no doubt, be watched with great interest by exhibit- ors and the public. We are sure they will make a fine pair—Owen Moore and Fritzi Brunette. Here is the girl’s por- trait. Look at it. You can see that she is deserving of high praise as one of the Universal beauties. OWEN MOORE Leading Man of the Victor Film Co. Picture fans all over the world admire Owen Moore. For Owen is good look- ing, and whatever he does in the pictures is done in a gentlemanly and debonair way. His excellent work in Victor films since they have been released has won general commendation. He has played opposite Florence Lawrence and has acted in an artistic fashion. He is indeed a valuable member of the Victor stock. But besides ability and a good moving picture stage presence Owen has com- parative youth, conjoined to considerable experience. He is fairly entitled to look forward to a successful future on the moving picture screen. His art, like that of all other actors, will ripen with increased experience, and, above all things, with time and hard work. Owen’s portrait appears on the front cover of this issue, and we are sure will be cordially welcomed by the many thou- sands of readers of this publication. You can see, Mr. Exhibitor, that Owen Moore is well worth featuring whenever you get the chance.
