'ESMERALDA' IS
YOTEDLEADER Of
PIGKF0RD FILMS

Mary Pickford once more registers
satisfaction at the Liberty theater
and for the past three nights has
packed he big Nuuanu street house to
the doors. She will close her local
engagement in "Esmeralda" with the
performance of this evening and in
closing will have completed probably
her biggest hit at the home Of Para
mount features" 1t is possible that
Mary Pickford has something better
to bring to Honolulu, but her most
persistent admirers, and they are her
most ardent critics, are in doubt.
Time and again Little Mary is seen
In role that appears to have been
manufactured for her especial case.
Az times she is seen in and her
audience weeps with her. At other
times she smiles and the audience
smiles likewise; still again she wears
the sPickford pout, and the audience
pouts with Little Mary.
The story of "Esmeralda" is one
that Is as old as the hills. A most ana
bitious mother would marry her
daughter "well." while the daughter
sincerely loves a boy from the.
farm. The mother and child are at
loggerheads as to the girls future, but
Cupid, with his myriad of methods for
gaining his points, eventually wins
and the girl and her lover show the
parents that wealth is not the SUM of
happiness. 1t is delightful film and
Mary Pickford is at her best. To
right closes the bill.
