Leader.

Picture patrons appear to approve the
departure from regular custom In the
presentation for an entire weeks en-
gagement Of Mary Pickford In Tess
of the Storm Country" at the Leader
Theater this week.
The play Is regarded as one OF the
very best efforts Miss Pickford has
made In her photoplay career. and Is OF
particular inherent In view OF the fact
that Il is one Of the plays In which Miss
Pickford herself takes the most salts
faction.
It was produced about two years age
and was received with much praise by
the critics. The play attained popu-
larity greater than that OF any OF the
Pickford productions, and has been
played In every section OF the country
In all sorts OF picture theaters with
sustained success. Bringing II back Ia
a theater like the Leader for an entire
week is a new idea In photoplay presen'
tation-but the audiences that have 90
far seen Il would indicate Its return IL
q popular move.
The story tells OF a mountain CIR
whose father Is sent TO prison for q
crime he did not commit. A minister
meets and falls In love with the girl
She befriends the ministers sister, and
IL restrained from telling the truth
about her father because by no doing
she will wreck the life Of the minister,
sister. Miss Pickford appears as tn,
mountain girl and Harold Lockwood II
| the minister. The production was mad,
under the direction OF James Kirkwoot
with O Famous Players cast.
