HELEN MARTEN-THE ECLAIR CAMEO BEAUTY Recording a Fad, a Fancy and a Fact By F. MARION BRANDON Sit up, boys and girls; for I'm going to disclose a tremendous secret. At last you will have a chance to see little Helen Marten at her best — elusive, evanescent, elfin, flitting thru six reels — count 'em — of a film version of that very wonderful French refugee novel, published last summer — "The Kangaroo." It is estimated by those few who have been privileged to view this photoplay privately, that little Helen's stock will go up another hundred points ! Her part is that of a boy — "the saft one of the f ambly. ' ' The brilliant, scintillating action of the entire six reels is strung upon the silken thread of this 113 witching girl's personality. (Mary Pickford, 'ware your laurels!) " I 've read a whole tantalizing paragraph, and dont know yet what she really is like!" is, I suppose, your impatient comment. Well, I shall establish myself immediately in your good graces by recounting in detail this young lady's charms. She is small, slim, graceful, imperious. Her beauty is delicate — cameo-like. Nose straight and short; lips, cheeks and chin exquisitely molded; eyes, bluegray, wondering, wide-set under straight, brown brows; hair, a profusion of softly coiled or curled, shining nut-brown strands.
