"PO0R LITTLE RICH GIRL"
A PICKF0RD PICTURE AT
OPERA HOUSE, FRIDAY

AS Gwendolyn, the poor little rich
girl" who had all that money could
buy, but scarcely knew her parents,
Mary Pickford in "A Poor Little Rich
Girl" her newest Aircraft picture
adapted from the well known Eleanor
Gates subject, is afforded a role of .ex-
ceptional Pidkford qualities. The
story tells OF how Gwendolyn, who is
left entirely in the care of her nurses
and servants as a result of the social
and business duties" of her parents,
finally brings about big change in the
lives of her little family. Through
their little daughter the selfish par
ents are brought to realize that each is
travelling in the wrong direction, and
that their real goal is happiness, ra-
then than wealth.
Judging from all advance reports
this new Mary Pickford play is the
greatest typically Pickford subject ever
staged, replete with Pickford charm
and presenting an occasional twang at
the heart-strings, as we'll as plenty of
quaint situations. Technically 1t is
also conceded to be an accomplish
ment in the photo-play art as result
of the efforts of that master-director,
Maurice Tourneur. The picture will
appear at the opers House Friday.

way the whole of the Ring Triology,

The subject of the double session
for the Public schools for next term,
which is under the consideration Of
the Board of Education was discussed,
and it was decided to have a delega-
ton from the Music Club to go before
the board at the next meeting and
ask that they consider the matter of
music study and not keep the children
in school in the afternoons. For by SO
doing the children would have no time
for one of the most important of their
educational branches of learning and
culture-music.

 JIM .BLUDSO' FILM


 Wilfred Lucas.9 the star of sJim Bludso", picture play, made from the
 famous poem by John Hay, which will
 be seen at the Fox theater, has pre-.
 viously appeared in the leadine: roles. of four noteworthy Triangle feaures-
 Acquitted" "'Hell to Pay Austin.
 "Rummy' and "The Microscope Mys-
 tery.' s.
 In Jim Bludso' he is said to have
 one of the most powerful roles ever. allotted to a screen star. Not only does he, as engineer of the Prairie Belle, "hold her nozzle agin the bank
 till the last galoot's ashore,' but he also has many other stirring adven-
 lures. A remarkable feature of the
 play is the complete destruction by fire
 of the Prairie Belle. the Triangle Fine
 Arts studio having purchased a river boat and burned it to the waters edge in the production. Still another re- markable scene is the inundation of Mississippi River town by flood after the bursting of levee. Water is seen pouring down the streets in streams and coming up to the second story windows of the houses. Lucas is sup ported by a noteworthy cast, includ- ing Olga Grey, Sam de Grasse, Wini- fred westover and Georgie Stone, Triangle-Fin Arts noted child actor.

LITTLE GREY LADY"
 AT THE LYCEUM

This week the Walter Naylor Play CTS are presenting The Little Grey Lady,' one of Charming Pollock's most charming plays and at the same time one without hero. Evi- dently Mir. Pollock does not consider it heroic for man to face his guilt and take the consequences, but the author. must be taken literally for it would be absurd to say that the play is without a heroine. The fortitude and quiet bravery of Anna GSAy" is- heroism of the greatest type. The locale of the play is in the treasury in Washington. D. C., and this set- ting is certainly most appropriate at this time. Miss Perry will be seen in role altogether different from any which she has taken to the pres ent time and is sure to win approval, The Antel sisters, Mir. Murphy and MT, Quin will all be seen to good ad vantage in this play.

How Madge Made the Best of an Odd Situation of Mother Graham'S NaEiur


 Well, children, have you made any plans for Dicky's birthday yet t?' nearly, fell off my chair in aston ishment at the friendliness fn my mother-in-law's tones. She had been sulky ever since we had come home from our autumn outing in the Cats kills. su1kiness caused by her re- sentiment of what she chose to con- sider the indiscreet interest taken in me by Robert Gordon, the mysterious millionaire whom had discovered to be an old friend of my parents. I shrewdly suspected, however, that her continued resentments were more be- cause Dicky chose to take my part in the matter against her, than because of any real feeling toward MT. Gordon. Nearly a years experience, however, had taught me how best to manage my mother-in-law. When she in- (dulged herself in one of her frequent "tantrums' I adopted carefully courteous, scrupulously formal atti- !tude toward her. and dismissed her from my mind. Thus saved myself much worry and irritation, and de- rel. something which I knew she would be glad to bring on sometimes for the sheer pleasure of combat.
 Her question was so sudden, her cordiality so surprising. that I could frame no answer. Instead I looked helplessly at Dicky. To tell the truth. rather distrusted this sudden amia ability. From past experiences, I knew that when Mother Graham made a sudden change from sulkiness to cheerfulness, she had some scheme under way.
 Dlcky's answer was prompt
 That's entirely up to Madge, mother he said, and smiled at mo.
 ''Wc Shall Be Delightel.''
 I smiled back at him with proper wifely appreciation of his courtesy, but l had hard work to conceal the malicious amusement that lay beneath the smile. Ever since the mass meet ing at Madison Square Garden when had been so nearly hurt and Dicky had acted in such a boorish manner to my rescuer. Dr. Petit. my liege lord had been on his very best be- havior. He was like small boy try ing to propitiate a stern teacher.
 Although his mother tried hard she could not keep the acerbity out of her tones as she turned to me. She always resented any deference of Dicky to my opinion.
 Well, as Richard has no opinion of his own, what are your plans, Mar garet ?''
 Why, I have made none so far" I stammered, wishing with all my heart that I had made some definite plan for the holiday I could sec from my mother-in-law's manner that she had some cherished scheme in mind. and my prophetic soul told me that it would he something which I would not particularly like.
 Good" she returned. Then | shall not be interfering with any plan of yours. l have already written to Elizabeth asking them to come out here for Dicky's birthday. This is an awful shack. of course. but it is the country. and the children will enjoy the woods and brooks and fields, even if it is cold"
 Dicky turned to her abruptly, his brow stormy, his eyes flashing. {
