"Behind the Scenes." is a story of
stage life without exaggeration, not
dressed in the garments of Imagina

the thrilling successes of a theatrical

this week.
The inimitable Mary's latest. charac
terization is that of the winsome lit
tle actress, in "Behind the Scenes." by
Margaret Mayo, the a'uthor of "Baby
Mine."
Not since "In the Bishop's Carriage"
has this little star appeared in the
role of an actress.
"Behind the Scenes" is an absorbing
and pathetic contrast between the
drama of life and "the glamor of the
stage. It is human throughout, de
picting the struggle and sorrows of a
little soubrette striving for theatrical
ucess. and her great sacrifice for love
Just when fame is within .reach.
The humorous elements and serious
episodes of the drama are fully inter
preted by Miss Pickford, and. punc
tuated with her original mannerisms.
When the stress of the play reaches
its crisis, when the little actress, after
years of struggle with poverty, I
forced to choose between love and
fame, she reaches unusual dramatic
heights, and gives, all together, one

Xew Theater Three Days.
The change of bill today at high
noon at the new National Theater is
destined to attract a record-breaking
attendance, providing It does here what
it has done everywhere it has been
shown. Louis rteeves Harrison saw the
initial presentation of "The Strand" In
New York City, .and comments In his
review as follows:.
"From the moment that the biogra
phy startswith the raising of a win
dow upon the domestic life of Payne
and his mother to the pathetic end of
this part of the play, the vast audience
of 'The Strand' sat spellbound. The
dramaturgic skill of the director, en
abling him to utilize the nistrionic
skill of the actors, brought out an en
thralling performance, the honors go-
Tng.to Harry Walthall as Payne and
Lillian lilsh as his sweetneart, witn
some dainty tauches by Dorothy Gish
"The allegory is a spiritual phrase
r.t tra t heautv. and a fitting termina
tion to what will undoubtedly be an
enduring work. The spirit of the whole
play, as well as its theme and treat
ment, is so Imaginative and artistic,
while appealing to the purest sensi
bilities that "poetic drama"' seems -to
designate the production. This is meant
in high praise. Drama of noble pur
pose that is poetic in spirit and artis
tic in presentation tends to make life
lovely and wonderful, to give It that
stimulus which leads to progress.
'Home Sweet Home" is an enchantment
of the screen.
"Home Sweet Home" will run at the
National for three days. Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday. .

Feature This Week.
The Star Theater is to present Mary
Fuller in a quaint mountain story.
"The Witch, Girl."
Is it brains, personality or talent
that makes Mary Fuller, the star In
the two-reel Victor drama, "The Witch
Girl"? Some say that a combination
of all three qualities, plus good plays.
Is responsible for her wonderful popu
larity. This woodland love fantasy
will." be shown at the' Star Theater
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
Miss Fuller is an unusual heroine In
"The Witch Girl." She is a wild elflne
sprite, roaming the woods without re
gard to propriety; innocent, but with a
code of morals like deep - implanted
steel.
The thrilling 14th chapter of the
"Trey o' Hearts," depicting the narrow
