On the same bill is Bebe Daniels in "Ducks and Drakes", wherein she plays the role of an unconventional young heiress whose chief delight is calling telephone numbers at random and flirting with unknown male voices at the other end of the wire. This photoplay has been announced for a forthcoming production...
