CLIVE BROOK KATE PRICE Now In “THE STILL ALARM” (Universal) Phone 558-220 Excerpt from Sunday Examiner, June 7, 1925 : SHURE, SHE’S A BIT O’ IRISH By Daphne Marquette Everyone knows Kate. She was dear old Johnnie Bunny’s pal in the early days. She swashed gorgeous soap-suds as the mother of Mary Pickford’s smudgy little “Amarilly of Clothes Line Alley.” She played golf with Connie Talmadge in “The Near Lady.” Buster Keaton’s side-splitting wife in “His Wife’s Relations” was Kate. In “The Sporting Venus,” soon to be re¬ leased, she is excellent foil for Blanche Sweet’s delicate loveliness. And now as Laura La Plante’s mother in “The Beautiful Cheat,” she plays the delicious role of an uneducated Irishwoman all dressed up — with social aspirations. Miss Price is a free-lance — “always for indipindence.” She is ever in demand, rarely getting a week’s rest. She loves the word WORK. The sudden turn from pathos to comedy is easy and natural for her. With every Kate Price tear goes an Irish smile. “But the greatest things we do are not always appreciated,” says the delectable Biddy. “Faith, I once did a very noble thing, and not one word of credit am I gettin’. Lean down while I whisper to you. I once made Buster Keaton LAUGH, begorra!”
