ROMANTIC OPERETTA, "THE DESERT SONG

REALLY ARRIVES
IN LAJEST FILP
Mt.vy 1,'lckiord has always beeu j
a popular fa vo rile in ..Medford and I
Jackson county, ho no onu was aur- '
piiscd that a crowded bonne Krnoi-1
ed her in "Coquette" ut the Cia-j
lerian lust niRht.
And, uecdlcKU l if say, it was a new J
Mary. I'nlike Samson, the ordeil
in having her hair nobbed, instead j
of taking away her strength, In
creased it. No only her airenntl.
hut her dramatic power, and her
abilities in an actress.
in fart, in our judgment, this all 1
talkie VCouuette''. marks Marv Pick-1
ford as one of the outstanding emn
lional iictiesijes of this generation.
We have- never Been anything
finer, on the screen or on the le
gitimate stae, than her treatment
of that death nceno in this poig
nant play of modern southern Hie.
What a temptation for bathos
and overacting! How difficult to
maintain just the proper note, nec
essary to tmnift'onn, what poorly
handled was mure sub-sluft, into
yeiiume lieiu't breaking ras-dy.
'JO
And her love making, too. To de
pict genuine feeling, not. the fake
movie variety i uu art, and the
mature Mary Picktord has master
ed that art. In the spiritual subli
mation process only JJolores Uei
)cio can cum pure with her. Also
Mary's treatment of that phrase,
"Just simply ado'ble." trans torm
inj; it gradually from u mere school
girl verbal ta.;,- into u theme note
ot genuine significance and pathos.
Not having been a Mary I'ick
ford fan in tl-e past, "Cotpiette "
for us marks the greatest achieve
ment of her career. .We believe I
everyone seriously Interested in j
the ucieea particularly the talk-
ing screen as a new development I
in Uiamatic ai t,- should tee this j
lilm before it leaver.
. I
The only criticism of the produc- j
tion last night that we could make;
was what seemed to its an imper- j
fection in the .sound reproduction, j
ii any rate ii v:.s not easy at
times to catch all tho words. Per-i
haps that wan due, however, to tlu !
fact, that we arrived late and had i
to take a sent at the estreme rear. !
Incidentally, uere is beautiful I
photography in "I'ouuette," excel
lent support and. must refreshing
to us, the original play has imt
been distorted and sugar coaled to
satisfy the no-called demands of the
box office.
Willi that . colored . classic,
"liearlfi of Dixie," the first of the
week and "Coquette" the latter
part, the George Hunt company .is
certainly giving the local m-jvie
public the veiy .heiit that tho sea
son in current films offers.
