' ' I believe you, Berenice. I am sure there were no other girls in this room. ' '
FAMOUS PLAYERS
Berenice and her friend find themselves in the wrong hotel room,
which was bad enough, but worse when the friend's parents find
them there. They try to explain.

It seems the easiest way out for the friend to introduce Berenice and the strange young man as ' ' Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner," which seems to be a plausible reason for their presence in town, enroute to the matinee.
Marguerite Clark in " Miss George Washington "
jDECAUSE she was reputed never to have told a lie, Berenice Somers is presented with a handsome medal from the Truth Society and nearly dies of laughter while the presentation is being made. For Berenice can, as her friends say, "give Ananias cards and spades and still beat him" at the lying game. She has such a sweet, innocent expression on her face that no one but her friends know what a fibber she is — so they call her "Miss George Washington." Berenice is so fast on her mental feet that
she needs neither memory nor notebook to keep her from mixing stories. Having told one fib in order [to deceive the head of the private school of which she is a pupil, she starts an avalanche of lies and has to keep right on.
• The whole thing makes a screamingly funny farce that is not dull for one moment. Marguerite Clark, as the girl who cannot tell the truth, is charming and handles a few of the scenes, that might very easily have become vulgar, with just the right touch. We recommend "Miss George Washington" as a gloom chaser. ■
