Surely, surely the pictures are
growing up. Signs Of responsibility
are beginning to be noticeable. NO"
a film has authors by way Of guaran-
tee, and the best of these are becom-
ing better and better known.
Cecil De Mile and jeanne Mac
Pherson made what is to be perhaps
their greatest success at collaoora-

man." They are reliable film authors
willing to assume the responsibility

Mary Pickford in the leading role.
this weeks attraction at the Loew
Columbia Theater, is a good picture
and as fine a sample Of their work as
is Joan are Woman"
The authors have gone at their
task, not with any feeling Of having
to lower themselves in the process,
as so many OF our high-brow authors
seem to feel about writing for the
films, but have earnestly presented
Mary Pickford in a romance OF Cali
fornia wrought with all the intel
ligence and care Of which they were
capable.
There Is little necessity Tor saying
much about either the Aim itself or
the work of Miss Pickford. Having
strongly advocated and recommended
the FIRST. and knowing that the latter
Is a matter of personal opinion. only
a few short paragraphs more are me-
cessary.
The scenes are laid in the big tree"
country of California. and the action
Is timed in the period when stage
coaches provided transportation and

ford is shown as a prim New England
miss who journeys to the Golden State.
