On account of the extremely bad weather which has kept many women and children within doors, the manage ment of the Coliseum ilas decided to continue showing Mary Pickford in The Little American for the bal ance of the week and on Saturday mat lnee.

 Popuarly known as America s Sweetheart" Miss Pickford presents a particularly fitting characterization in the title role of this new Aircraft pie ture. Presenting story of especial timely theme by Mir. De Mile and Jeanie Macpherson. this production brings home most effectively condi- tions involving the present great war.
 Stirring views Of remarkably spec tacuar war scenes, both on land and sea. are pictured in the most modern manner of photopiay technique.

Maurice Maeterlnck's world famous play. The Blue Bird" is to appear in motion picture form, to be presented by Aircraft Pictures. Considered one of Maeterlincks greatest works, this pro- duction was staged both in this coun- try and abroad and occupies an inn portant place in the annals of interna- tional theatricals In London, it orig inally opened at the Budoir Theatre. in December. 1909 where it attracted wide attention.
 The play offered ten scenes and took four hours to portray on the stage. With it's American appearance in New York, at the New Theatre in February, 1911. the production was revived with two additional scenes.
 The film version of t'The Blue Bird" will present a big spectacular cinema produced by Aircraft. under the drec- tion of Maurice Tourneur. the talented French director. whose recent work for Aircraft as displayed in the Elsie Fer euson pictures, has further enhanced his hig standards of production The important task of adapting the famous drama to the screen was entrusted to Charles Maigne and actual shooting of scenes has already commenced at the Fort Lee studios.

CAMPAIGN FOR THRIFT STAMPS IS
 NOW IN FULL SWING

WASHINGTON Dec. 27 - The campaign for the sale of s2,000,- 000,000 worth of war savings stamps has started. Every Post Office has big supply of the stamps and there will soon be 100000 agencies in Post Offices, banks, stores and news agencies. The campaign will last until Jan 1, 1923, provided the total amount of stamps authorized by Congress is not disposed of before that time.
 This war cannot be financed un- less the American people immed- lately stop waste. practice self-de- nial economic in every possible di- rection and lend the money they save thereby to the Government" Secretary McAdoo said in urging the public to invest in war savings stamps.
 ''The campaign for the sale of war savings stamps in denomina- tions of 25 cents and $5 is of the utmost importance. No such op- portunity as this has ever been of fered to the American people for in vesting their savings with abso- lute safety and at such attractive rates of interest The Government will accept your money and pay in- terest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, compounded quarterly.
 Let every man. woman and child reflect, us they are about to spend even 25 cents wastefully or needlessly. how much that 25 cents will do for some splendid son of America who is fighting on the battlefields of Europe; how much even 25 cents multiplied by 100.- GOO, ,000 loyal and patriotic Ameri- can citizens will help their Gov crBment to bring to quick end this horrible carnage in Europe how many lives of America's noble sons will be saved the sooner the war is ended. Every dollar saved will hasten this result.
 "Thc widespread practice of econ omy is absolutely vital to the suc- cess of the war. My hope is that the war savings stamps campaign now begun will impress that les son upon the American people. Ev- cry one. however small his means, can help in this way
 'l appeal to the heart and pa- triotism of the American people to help their Government and help themselves by a whoIe-hearted sup port of this war savings plan"

 King Lear" was ono of MT. Warde z most noted roles when he was touring the United States at the head of his own company and because MT Wardes s Lear" was perhaps even better known than any of his other characterizations. Edwin Thanhouser selected the play as his contribution to a notable Shapes pearian year.
 Mir. Wardes Shakespearian experi- ence has been wide. He played "Ro- meo" to Adelaide Neilson's Juliet" "MacDuf' to the Lady Macbeth" of Charlotte Cushman and alternated with Edwin Booth in the part of "Othello'' and "Iago."

 In the production of The Little Am erican,' various wel-known authorities on conditions evidenced across the ocean. have colaborated with MT. De Mile, with the result that even the most minute detail has been pronounced perfect Again the combined arts of Mary Pickford and Cecil E. De Mile have been linked together in the cause of the photoplay and judging from ad- vance reports, this production will go down in motion picture history as one of its greatest works of art, as well as one of it's most powerful appeals.
