Dolly Sees Vivid Picturzdtion of OzUen KiddreS
 Story of Romance and Tragedy, Nv Mamie Rose"

up and go straight to where the people lived in the slums of New York and hug that girl so tight that she couldn' t breathe for the wondrous, beauteous light that she brought into the sordid, grim, environment of the boy, whose re- generation was effected through her sweetness and tenderness
 I never dreamed I'd see My Mamie Rose" in a picture; but I have once, twice, and there'll never be time when I see it flashed in a big, vivid lettering in front of a picture playhouse that I won't see it.
 It is the sort of thing that sermons are made of; the life of the jail 6ird, tho horrible loathsome, disgusting surround ings; the love of theft and murder and debauch that permeates the gang of toughs, and what the love and gentleness of one sweet, pure woman's heart can do to make over and regenerate man who is considered beyond recall; well, if Billy Sunday can draw prettier or more convincing picture of a reformed drunkard or thief then I'll take off my hat to that delectable gentleman.
 Another thing about the picture; it is very cleverly ''scenario-ed."
 In the days when the moving picture was young, the first equipment obtained by anybody who would enter the haz- ardous field of production was camera; but times have changed; the mad dash of the camera through the literature of the stage and the worlds great classics has brought about condition long ago anticipated when the motion picture was bound to stand or fall on foundations of it's own building.
 Shakespeare had been adopted for the camera Macbeth being preeminent; also the choicest literary works of the French and English authors many times with disappointing effect, but if you've read My Mamie Rose" you'll agree with me feel sure that in the picturization it is delicately "scenario-ed''; it is artis- tically "camera- some of the most thrilling and exciting scenes ever shown or the screen being graphically done.
 In other words, if you want to see one of the most wonderful pictures ever filmed, one that grips your heart strings and makes you clench your fists SC tightly that the fingertips and nails show white, while you swallow your chewing gum, good and hard and then sit speech less as the last words are flashed across the big screen, don't miss My Mamie Rose' if it comes your way.
