Beulah Burns — Real Tales About Reel Folk (1914) 🇺🇸

Beulah Burns, the fascinating little daughter of Fred Burns, the famous Majestic cowboy, here is discovered, caught red handed, just as she appears in Who Shot Bud Walton?

Miss Burns is something of a comedienne, yet the seriousness of the situation which this portrait reveals scarcely could fail to wake rueful memories.

It was of the same Miss Burns, and her younger sister [Thelma Burns], that Director Jack Adolphi [John G. Adolfi] not long ago prophesied a brilliant future on the screen. Some said then that he was prejudiced — because it was obvious that he enjoyed nothing better than holding the budding Thespians upon his knee and regaling them with long sticks of pink and white candy.

Little Miss Beulah, however, eloquently disputes this charge of partiality in several recent Reliance releases, in which she gives plain proof of her unfolding powers. It could scarcely be said, on the strength of the accompanying picture, that she is without charm — considerably enhanced by her guilty position.
