AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Mary Piekford immortaIixes "Mistress
 Nell" on the Screen!

Mary Pickford. the highest salaried motion picture star in the world, de- parts from her usual style of screen interpretation in the latest production five-part film subject of Mistress Nell" the internationally famous drama by George c. Hazelton, which is the main attraction at the Auditor ium Monday and Tuesday on the Par amount program.
 Nell Gwyn, the character portrayed by Little Mary" is one of the great est and sweetest of historyss hero ines. To her fame is added by the as- tonfshfng success of the drama of which she is the central character, and in the photoplay version of which Miss Pickford even further extends the dramatic appeal of the captivating story.
 The character of Nell offers Miss Pickford many interesting opportuni- ties to prove her wonderful versatility as a screen actress, inasmuch as the portrayal involves not only the de- lineation of Nell, as England's favor ite actress but also that of the dis guised messenger who Is supposed to carry the word of King Charles dis aster to another crown. In this de- ception Mary Pickford supplies one of her ininitable characterizations, and her assumption of the boys clothes, the first time in many years that she has played the part of a boy is refreshingly novel and virile.
 Among the many admirable sets that comprise the production, one stands out more prominently than the others, excellent as they all are. This is the spacious and gorgeous ballroom of the Kings Palace and the construc- tion and general beauty of the set is worthy of complimentary notice, even though 1t must be remembered that 1ox maintained the highest standard of the film producing world for their set tings and mechanical adjuncts.
 Other photoplays will also be shown and the usual three shows daily will be given with the usual prices pre- VailinE
