 GENERAL FiLMpoM NEWS

Manager Cross is good gambler. and when he does thing he does it believing that the people of Juneau will support him. Last night two big houses occupied the Coliseum at the two shows of Mary Pickford in her big production. eight reels, of Less Than the Dust" This is a spectacu- lar picture in more ways than one. Many of the scenes are big ones with lots of people in them. Less Than the Dust is sort of a comedy drama. It starts off very seriously but when little Mary returns to Eng land to receive her education. the comedy element takes the front. It cost big sum to bring this late pro- duction of Mary Pickford to Juneau but if the two large houses last night is any criterion, tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday will see large attendance It is picture and a production worth while and, with no raise in prices, 1t is believed that practically everybody in Juneau. man. woman and child, will see the screen favorite in her Aircraft production.
