This Is tho stpry of the llttlo old lady ot San Jose, anil how "The Fin gor of Justice" mado hor a "movlo fen." Her enco is typical, Maserts Rev. Paul Smith, producer of the pic ture. "The Fingor of Justice" will be shown In this city Saturday and Sun day at the Star theatre But to return to Hie llttlo old lady of San Jose. "The fingor Qf Justice" hud been widely, advertised to niipeair at a certain theatre In San Jose. The pap ers prin'.od columns. Peoplo talked. The iwor'il wont round that hero was a picture the like of which had not been seen before. Tho little old lady adjusted her double-loiloel spectacles and read what the papers had to say.. Shu listened as her friends talked of the picture. Understand she had always pooh poohed' tho movies. "Bosh," sho toimed them. She, who had actually seen Sara Bernhardt hi Cninillo she, who had peen Edwin Booth and Richard Manb field and (whisper it) Lillian Rus sell sho go to the "movies"? "Never!" But somehow all the talk about "Tho Finger of Justice" roused hor interest. So she did what most any nice littlo old lady does when In a quandary. She saw hor pastor. "Why, Indued you should go," as sertcd tho minister. Rev. W. L. Stld ger of Justice' 1 Re. Paul Smith's divine-i. "Go by all means. 'Tho Fin ger of Justico' Is Rev. Paul Smiths great fight against vice In San Fran cisco Immortalized by the motion pic lure. Dr. Smith is the mun who wiped out tho Barbary Coast who made our state's largest city clean. His plcturp tells his story." And so tho littlo' old lady of San Jose nay "The Finger of Justice." For tho first time in all her Ufo, sho watched a clneuia drama not only watched it but enjoyed It.. Yes she applauded'iwith the others while Hie handsome Ciane Wilbud. ss the fighting parson, struck terror to the heart or organized vice. Sho had seen a "movie" and she liked it. She came again. Twice she ssw The Finger of Juatlce." Then she came once more and ssw love tory on the tweea. And no the llttl old lady is regular patron s dyed-ln-the-wool "fan," if you will. Almost svery af ternoon fljidi hr In her comfortable chair watchmir, b-enthless, tne newtn i !.'- unfolds Its skein of daring plots of saeet romance Perhaps Ifc lirttglnation, but some how Ike nlcj little -old' lady hn't seemed qqito so old ntnee "The Fin ger or Justice" made her a movie fan. And she's still Just a nlco por- pwtis a little bit nlcr.. e 0 ' w The daily 'fo of scores of orphans unfortunate enough to be lijrAig In an instltuton, the founder of wheh obtained his kiwis of dlsclplne nt a penitential' whore ho made hs money through convict Rtbor, is shown in j detail en "Duddy Long Legs," screon ' verson of tho famous story bf Jean I Webster, in which Mary Plckfoni 111 ) teen nt Sherry's j This supeafeatuie is tho list to I be mado by Mary Pickford's own Company, after M1S3 Pickford ob tained the screen rights from KWw und Erlangcr to wliom'she gave Hor personal, check for M,00. Miss Pickford" has the part of Judy Abbott the little asylum girl who got her ehanrtj to go to celloge tlirough the genorosity of a mail who later fell in love ivith hor. The picture was directed by Mar shall Nollan, "The Mark Twain f tho Scroen," who bccitine one- of the foremost directors of the day through his ability to put appealing humor into scraen action. Mss Pickford is supported n' "Daddy Long Legs" by Mr. Nollun, who has -the part of a young. college man In love with Judy; by Mahlon Hamilton, who has the part of Jarvls Pendlotcn, Judy's ben efactor; by Mllla Davenpoit, as the tyrannical hend matron of the asy lum; by Fay Lempnt. as Angelica Wyckoff, an ill-mannered Utile girl reared In luxury; and by one of the most charming giougs of child actors ever seen on the screen, as ell as half a dozen other adult actors. The first half of the picture is laid In the John Grler Orphan Asylum. Mr. Neilan has filled It with a sur prising succession of humorous and pathetic Incidents. The mUlonsI of admrers of -Miss Pckford will agree when they see this picture that the fnvorlte star never had a bettor or more appealing role han that of the orphan, Judy Abbott, who as an in fant, Is picked out of an ash can by a policeman. Given namo fiom a tolephono book by a hard-hearted ma tron: whipped, starved, and cruelly treated until she roaches the ago of twelve, when she begins to spread among the strlpo-dres-sod llttlo .moth erless babes sunshluo which Iator Is the menus of helping them nil to hotter things. As a madenp child whose resistless personality overcomes oven the nios' sordid surroundings; as a girl tasting eagerly- the good things for which hlie so lonod ror In her childhood cap tivity; nnd tit Inst as n lover, coquet tish and caiprlcious, Miss Pickford's characterization is a ninslerploco.
