FAMOUS STORY "M'MSS" MARY
PICK FORD'S NEW PHOTOPLAY
Popular Artcraft Star Has Splendid
Vehicle of Early Gold Ruah to
' California in Days of '49.
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.

' 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.
