i cent Famous Players-Paramount pic
ture “A 'Coney Island Princess,” >s
starred by that company in “A Girl
I.ike That,” which is the attraction, at
the Alcazar theatre Monday.
Nell Gordon is unfortunate in her
ancestry—her father a crook —but she
possesses rare qualities of resource
fulness and loyalty. Though she loves
her father, she detests his associates,
particularly one Bill Whipple, who is
her constant suitor. Joe Dunham, who
does the scouting for the trio, finds a
very lively bank in the prosperous
town of Wheaton, the fact that a new
keeper is needed there opening the
way for the gang to get inti) the bank,
as Nell is an expert. Working on her
love for her father, who is a very sick
man, Whipple and Dunham persuade
Nell to go to Wheaton and take the
position. See the picture.
