The economic problems occasioned

Western Subject
A Western subject of full
blooded, dramatic action, the new
Pickford vehicle presents Little
Mary" in a role that is entirely
different from anything in which
she has ever appeared on the
screen. The settings are of the
days of 40 during the time of
the big gold rush. Mary Pickford,
as Jenny Lawrence, a little New
England miss, journeys to the
West in search of her only rela-
tive, an uncle. Before she is
aware of it, she falls in love and
as a result, becomes enmeshed in
serious complications. Various
clever twists to the story afford
surprises that add greatly to the
general merit Of the picture.
