Coy Mary Pickford Who Makes Hearts Palptate,
Appears in Person at the Stanley Theatre,

Mary Pckford, the little fiossy-halred
movie girl with the rosebud mouth and
the curling lashes. a glance from whose
hazel eyes can cause to palpitate the
hearts Of the entire male population from
the tropical regions of League Island to
the arctic zone. of Manayunk. left Phil
adelphia for New York this morning at
10 o'clock, but before going stopped a
minute or two to say a parting word
about the ovation she received at the
Stanley Theatre last evening In partic-
ular and about a few other things in
general.
Surrounded by a fond mamma, her d.
rector, James Kirlwood and her man.
ager, Adolph zukor, Miss Pickford
seemed even smaller than the Little
Mary" OF the films. In her arms she
carried a sad-loolsing bunch of tea roses.
"All that were left to me- she said
ruefully. II received some beautiful ones
last evening, but the crowd got them.
Not l. 1t happened In this way: When
/ came out of the box aftel, the per-
formance to leave the theatre a man
pressed close to me and asked II he
might have a chrysanthemum. My hands
were filed and. 30 I said. Why, yes,
just break one on And that was the
signal for the rest of them. I had to
give them all away, otherwise I never
should have got out of the theatre"
RECEPTION IrALTs TRAFFIC..
Those at the Stanley last night said,
despite her generosity in the matter of
giving away her flowers, Mary Pickford
had difficulty in getting away from her
insistent admirers The lobby was a
crushing mass OF people. mostly men, who
wanted word with her, and the traffic
on Market street was held up at least
five minutes by the mobs which crowded
around the taxi that bore her TO her
hotel.
The men are all your own, are they
not?" was the question put to her.
''Oh. l don't know" she replied mod

estly Judging from the letters I receive
] should say that the women think more
of me. Although something funny, and
pathetic, too happened the other day. l
received a note from man In Massachu-
setts, written in wobbly and decrepit
hand. He said he was 1OS years old. He
inclosed 81 and asked me IL l would not
send him my picture. l returned the
dollar, sent the picture and note wrote
myself-something which l ordinarily do
not have the time to do, although I al
ways make a practice of opening every
one myself"
According to Miss Pickford, acting for
the movies has every advantage over
acting in the 'legit."
I'm the first place. said she, you
reach more people; secondly, you have
more time; you are not such a slave:
and, lastly, the money is infinitely bet
ter. | nave received many an offer of
$500 night to do what I did last eve
ming for nothing-appear at large moving
picture theatres throughout the country
when a film is being shown In which I
am acting. But'I will not do it.
1T Is not fair to the public: It Is apt
to destroy the Illusion created by the
film and II doesn't seem square deal to
the peop!e-my just sitting there and do
Ing nothing and then taking $500 for It..
l prefer to work for the money make"
Ana then because IL was train time
Miss Pickford and her entourage hurried
away so that the little star would be
back in New York in time to practice for
Esmeralda' in which she will make
her next appearance.
For the benefit of those who do not al
ready know It, Miss Pickford is but %
years of age. Toronto is her homo and
she has been playing ducks and brakes
with the masculine portion of her audi
ences ever since she was five.
At this tender age she went on the
stage In Boobies Baby" an English
military drama and there is scarcely n
well known juvenile part that she has
not played since. Five years ago. when
she was 10, she forsook the stage for
the movies since when she has been reg
isterins all of the known emotions on
the screen and one particular emotion in
the hearts of her masculine adorers.
