While several of Bret Harte's faacl noting tales of the days of old and the ' days of gold in California, have been transferred to the screen. It has re mained for Mary Pickford, "America's : Sweetheart," to translate to celluloid . Mr. Harte's great feminine creation! ''MJss," the heroine of his Immortal . story of that name. During the pro -, duction of this picture Miss Pickford announced that it is more like her favorite picture, .''Tess of the Storm Country," than anything she has done slr.ee the production of that photoplay more than four years ago. -.- The character of "M'Liss" provides . MisB Pickford with abundant oppor- tunities for the display of those char acteristics which have made her the. foremost screen artist in the world While the story of "M'Liss," which contafhs a murder and the subsequent rescue from a mob of lynchers, of an innocent man accused of the crime, Is . dramatic, its treatment is so. differ' ent from ordinary pictures of the west , that It -will prove a pleasant surprise ' to all who see it. ; . , ? , f The scenario was written by Fran -i ces Marlon, author of many notable film successes, and the production was ' directed by Marshall Nellan) Miss ' Pickford will bo supported by a no . tablo list of players, including Theo dora Roberts, Thamos Meighan, Tully , Marshall, Helen Kelly, Winifred . Greenwood, Monte Blue and others. . . "M'Liss" will be presented at the . Arcade Theatre Friday and Saturday. I i SHERRY'S j ' STUDIO WRECKED IN HIG; FIGHT IN NEW MARSH PLAY Combat In "The Beloved Traitor" Smashes Valuable Setting on Goldwyn Stage. For the first time In Goldwyn pic tures a real fight takes place. It is a terrific one, equal to any of the con flicts that used to be heavy features ; in bygone films, fortunately a thing of the past in productions aiming for the Goldwyn standard. But the drama of the screen demands strong physical conflict at times and when the pro ducer is fortunate enough to obtain rights to a novel like Frank L. Pack ard's JJThe Beloved Traitor," In which Mae Marsh appears at the Sherry Theatre today only, he ''goes to It." The fight has a logical place in this play. It is not dragged In merely to exploit the prowess of the actors in volved, or to give an imaginary con" obviously the counterpart of the girl from the fishing village.. ,The crowd jeers, at her' and jests .' at her Innocence.,, At .. this . juncture the sculptor comes upon the scene, follow ed by the society girl and her other suitor. They add their scoffing re marks to the chorus while- the erst while fisherman protects the fright ened girl and seeks to explain. Stung Dy a coarse jest of the other man he springs upon the latter and the fight ensues. Desperately, furiously the two powerful men struggle, the by-, stahders looking on In horror. Fi nally the climax comes when one of the combatants is knocked out. Sur rounding him is the wreckage of the elaborate studio, furniture, statuary and a dozen odds and ends demolished in the course of the fight. FARMER SMI SAYS PLANT RYE Whatever accomplishments or sports are to be cultivated In our girls, their training for tlimn should begin enrly. Hiding, swimming, tennis, walklhg, climbing, music and languages add so much to the jojof life that every girl Is entitled to a chance at dome of them. While the girl Is growing up Is the time for her first Instruction and for the really tedious -practice' which a knowledge of music and languages compels. Timidity Is easy to overcome ' In the young. It Is especially sensible to Insist on having children taught to swim and ride, and girls excel when given a chunce In these sports. A glance lit the habit of the smartly clad little miss shown in the picture above reveals that her habit follows clOHely the summer-time habits worn by her elders. The fad for puttees in place of high-top boots bus extended their use to the youngsters, and wash able cloths heavy linens and Palm Bench cloth particularly m.ike the best choice of fubrics for breex-hes and coats. It Is only In certain details that there Is a difference between this habit and those made for grown-ups. The coat Is less trim In lines than those cut for developed figures. 1 The soft blouse with turn-over collar and bow tie provides about the only appro priate manner of dressing the- neck,, and the high-crowned vlsored cap, fit ting snugly, Is -the happiest choice In headwear for a small girl. : A habit of tills kind need not fenr comparison ' with others when the youngest horse-women ride, their, ponies at the horse show or county fair. There ought to be blue ribbons for nil of them to reward some par ticular excellence In which'- each one Is sure to exceed all the others.' Roman Belts, : , Roman belts have been revived with the colored Jewelry ; even the old-time snshes with deep knotted fringe are coming to the fore. The Itoraan belts and matching hat bands look very sinurt with white golf togs, the blouse of which Is fastened with Jade but- ons, and the hat with jade pins. Much fancy Jewelry lg worn In the daytime with the wash dresses, always har monizing with the gown. Or when white Is worn, with the hat and veil. Face Powder to Be Scarce. . The French government has prohibit ed the manufacture oft face powder from rice, an official report stating that 100,000 soldiers' rations of rice, are wasted dally on women's powder puffs.
