Ermine And Rhinestones
''Ermine and Rhinestones'' is a 1925 silent film, written by Louise Winter, and directed by Burton L. King Plot Billy Kershaw, the son of a manufacturer in a small western town, comes to New York City on business. He becomes engaged to wealthy Peggy Rice, a member of the modern jazz set, who prefers to "play the field" with other men. Sometime before, Billy had sent Jim Gorman to jail for theft, causing Gorman's girl, Minette Christie, to leave town. At a fashion show, Peggy persuades Billy to buy her an ermine wrap, trimmed with rhinestones, which is modeled by a girl who turns out to be Minette. Billy realizes that Peggy is no more than a gold digger and breaks the engagement. Gorman shows up and attempts to kill Minette, for he believes she turned him in. Billy, however, defeats Gorman in a fight, and at the very last minute saves ''Minette'' from being gassed to death in her apartment. Billy comes to realize that Minette is the girl for him.

Marguerite McNulty
Marguerite McNulty, who was regularly referred to in press as a “beauty”, was a U.S. stage actress. For decades in the early 20th century, she was cast in musical and other comedy productions on Broadway theatre, like the musical comedy ''Fifty Fifty, Ltd.'' (1919) and the Broadway farce ''The High Hatters'' (1928). McNulty was also cast in a single silent film, 1925's Ermine and Rhinestones.

In late 1925 she had filed suit against the scion William Andrews Clark III, the third grandson of the then very recently late railroad and mining magnate, financier, and U.S. Senator William A. Clark of Montana. McNulty's claim against the younger Clark was for his allegedly having breached his promise to marry her, which greatly surprised and disturbed his other girlfriend whom he had also promised to marry at the time (an 18 year old New York dancer named Katya Minnasian).

Films Directed By Burton L
A film, also known as a movie or motion picture, is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, emotions, or atmosphere through the use of moving images that are generally, since the 1930s, synchronized with sound and (less commonly) other sensory stimulations. Etymology and alternative terms The name "film" originally referred to the thin layer of photochemical emulsion on the celluloid strip that used to be the actual medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion-picture, including "picture", "picture show", "moving picture", "photoplay", and "flick". The most common term in the United States is "movie", while in Europe, "film" is preferred. Archaic terms include "animated pictures" and "animated photography". "Flick" is, in general a slang term, first recorded in 1926. It originates in the verb flicker, owing to the flickering appearance of early films ...
