MARY PICKFORD IN NEW PLAY

Mary Pickford, the unrivalled fav-
orite of the screen, appears in an orig
inal and Incompatible portrayal at the
Isis theatre Saturday on the Para
mount program as Little Pal" the la
test production of the Famous Play
ers Film company.
Little Pal" provides Mary Pickford
with one of the most unique roles in
which she has ever been presented
The photoplay is one of primitive emo
tions and primal passions, and evil
dences a hitherto unsupported aspect
of Mary Pickford's astounding versa
tility
Unfamiliar with the customs of mod
ernity, and remote from all the influ-
ences which have fashioned our pres
ent civilization, Little Pal' recog-
nizes no other force than the dominant
love which develops within her for
the one man who has practiced JUS
tice toward her. Through a series of
thrilling sacrifices, she proves her
loyalty and devotion toward him, and
when she has at last secured happi-
ness requests no other reward from
him or fate.
