% OMEHOW or other, everybody
who goes to the movies lust
~ really loves Mary Pickford.
" She seems to breathe herself
and her delightful personality right
into moving photography and make
1t almost real. She screens heart
beat, and sigh, and her little soul
does. And the reason Of 1t is that
these lovable qualities are so pre-
dominant in the wonderful makeup
of this wonderful little woman that
even the camera cannot help get
ting them. and the movie machine
can't help projecting them to the
white canvas.
To know Mary Pickford Is to know
the sweetest little girl that one could
imagine. Just plain little some
body, wonderfully interested in all
the world is doing, working for some
ideals, just loving everybody and be-
ing just the same Little Mary that
she was in the old Biograph days
before Fate had let her peep beyond
and shown her the future with all
the success and the heaps of laurels
that were to crown her sunkissed,
golden curled head.
Now, Mary Pickford is the head
of her own corporation. But she
comes into her office and sits down
at her big desk and curls one foot
under her and signs check with
the same effort that a little girl
would make in writing her first
scrawled imitation of the Spencerian
scrolling at the top of the page of
the copy book. Mary Pickford
wants to do real artistic things in
pictures. She wants to do big things.
That is by she has surrounded her
self with the best brains and skill
of this wonderful art-industry. Out
of her first picture produced for Art

by Hector Turnbul1, and inspired by
one of Laurence Hopes "India's
Love LYRICS" they have made real
dramatic spectacle.
It is the biggest thing she has ever
appeared in. 1t has the clash and
strife OF soldiers and real conflict,
the picturesqueness of the Orient,
the color and fare OF the little
bazaars. the rites of the priests, the
great temple and the groves of the
bending palms, the cosmopolitan

win a wager from competitor, who
also has a worthless son, has engag-
ed pretty stenographer to inspire am
bition in his son. She gains her point
by making the young man fall in love
with her and then, when the father
casts him off rs q part of the scheme,
induces him to go into business SER

Thrust upon his own resources,
young Martin is at a loss for occu-
patton until theatrical press agent
comes along and propounds the value
of advertising and publicity. There
upon the young man decides to manu-
facture soap, and in searching for a
trademark hits upon "13 Soap. I'm
lucky for Dirt" The press agent agrees
that this is great trademark because
everybody in the world is more or less
superstitious. With this start the
young man enters upon situations that
splendidly show the value of advertis-
ing, as well as giving the audience the
finest merriment ever brought out in
farce. How we'll the young man sue
ceeds is simply told in the last two
acts which are checked with jollity
and clean fun.
