Baby Marie Osborne is at the Co. lumbia today and tomorrow in whit the film makers have named Little Mary Sunshine By using a child as the central figure, Ga girl of three years) and leaving all the childhood in her, an absolutely charming picture has been produced with this wonder
 baby of the movies. Children are so common in pictures now-a-days, but most of them have been spoiled by direction, been made to act, to regis

 much of their charm and naturalness. In this case it has evidently been
 realized that a shild is a natural born
 actor, and that emotions expressed in its own childish way, provide the
 great touch of nature that. holds the hole human family together. In this
 picture while there is nothing of sad
 ness or sorrow attempted, either in
 the story or it's situations, the mere
 happy childhood of this beautiful girl
 raises one of those Jumps in the throat and sends one away with tears starting
 The story is simple. A baby of the tenement misses the dead mother. asks for her, learns she has gone to heaven starts to find her growing tired she creeps into the tonneau of a big auto and there under a rug a l club man the worse for liquor finds | this tiny .waif She is taken home to | his great house, bathed, dressed and | christened on account of her beautiful | disposition Mary Sunshine.

to II D. m. Theda Bara's Carmen is acknowledged to be the triumph of her career In fact so wonderful is she in this great character of the Cigar cite Girl of Seville that she has over shadowed with it all other perform ances of the famous opera, and has
 brought new lustre to the master
 story of Prosper Merimee. The ut most expense was not spared, the greatest attention to the architec- tural construction of the sets so as to conform in every particular with those of Old Spain, the greatest care in the uniforms of the soldiery, the toreadors. the people generally, the greatest sensationalism and realism that has been produced in connection with the story was consummated by Raoul A. Walsh, the master pro- ducer. MT. Fox's adaptation of Car

 ment and romance, which eclipses

Mary Piekford at the Arizona


 Though Mary Pickford has won her greatest successes in pathetic and comic roles, her wonderfully versatile interpretation of Peppina in the Fam ous Players Film Company's spec tacular and thrilling story, Poor Little Peppina,'' proves her to be equal to the most exacting of heroic parts. The story of this latest Para mount Picture, which is the attrac- ton at the Arizona theater for the week, takes the little heroine from Italy to Sicily and thence to New York.
 Mary Pickford has been surrounded with a cast which includes some of the bestknown Italian actors now appearing on the screen, among them Cesare Gravina, Antonio Maiori, Ern- esto Torti, N. Cervi, and Francesca Guerra In addition there appear on the roster Edwin Mordant, Eugene O'Brien, W. T. Carleton, and others The appearance of so many Latins in this play, so much of which takes place in Italy and Sicily, is only an other instance of the determination on the part of the producers to invest every photoplay with the most au- thentic atmosphere possible

MAJORS COMB MINOR
 FUR LIKELY PLAYERS
rRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

. CINCINNATI, O., Sept. l5.-Seventy- four minor league players were drafted by the major leagues at the meeting of the national baseball commission and representatives or every major league club here today.
 Of this number the American league obtained forty seven and the Nationals twenty seven. These later figures do not signify that the American league was approximately more lucky in the draw than the National. but that Pres ident Johnson's organization had in large ma jority of the drafts. the Phila delphia Americans were making an ef- fort to obtain twenty six youngsters through this method of baseball pro- cedure
 Of the twenty six that, Connie Mack attempted to get, twelve were forth coming to him when the drawing of lots had been completed He was sur passed however. by the Chicago Amer jeans, who obtained fourteen players Next in point of number came the Cleveland Americans and the Chicago Nationals with seven each, while the
 New York Americans got five. Cin-
 cinnati. Brooklyn and the St. Louis ! Americans each obtained four while Detroit, Boston Nationals and Pitts burg came away with three each. The New York Nationals, St. Louis Ma tionals. Philadelphia Nationals and
 Washington each received two. while the Boston Americans failed to draw a single player.
 That the minor league field has been l picked over rather thoroughly for good
 material through the process of pur- 1 chase was indicated by the fact that in | no individual case was there any eX- eeptionally keen competition, the ma 1 iority of the players being drafted by | d single club.

ALUMNI WILL PLAN
 FUR COYOTE CAME

Alumni who think they are lucky will congregate about the manly form of Tommy Geare tomorrow to plan tao tics against the Coyote football team.
 This is in response to q call by Geare for candidates for the Has-beens foot ball team to meet at the Ford soda shop at o'clock Sunday afternoon. The Alumni will be the first to go up against the Geary Guys this season. That fact has been established, though the schedule, published recently, is en- tirely teftative. Coyote players this year will bulk well in their togs; so the old heads deem it wise to begin getting some of the summer lassitude out of their systems, in preparation for a strenuous encounter. About fifteen men will be required for the squad. though it may be possible to muster two full elevens. It is desirable to gather as many Alumni as possible, so that there may be two full teams to practice formations.

 sherlock Holmes" Is a superior production, considering it from every angle. Mere words are futile wher 1t comes to praising MT. Gillette's delineation of one Of the most low able characters in fiction. We are tr;lly thankful that by way of the cinema such splendid art as that of Mir Gillette may be preserved for the generations to come.
