Ills career.The feature has been produced on a most elaborate scale, under authoritative direction, and with the most lavish settings ever provided for a Shakespearian production.p: y \u2022 BEVERLY BAYNE AS VULICT\u2019(BUSHMAN»» BAYNE - ROMEO AND JULIET\u201d) Ever since she has been appearing in motion pictures it has been the dream and ambition of Beverly Bayne, the magnetic young screen star, to appear in the role of \u2018\u2018Juliet\u2019\u2019 in a screen production of \"Romeo and Tuliet.\u2019\u2019 The dream at last has been realised, and it was only natural that her \u201cRomeo\" should be Francis X.Bushman, who has appeared with Miss Bayne in scores of artistic photoplays.Miss Bayne is an ideal \u201cJuliet,\" She has youth and beauty, and her supreme artistry in difficult dramatic roles has made her one of the foremost screen artists of all time.For this production Miss Bayne patiently and diligently studied the part of \u201cJuliet\" for more than a year.Hef very heart and soul is in the part, as is strikingly evidenced in her won on the screen.
