PLAZA

'The Little American Mary Pick
ford's greatest starring vehicle began
a weeks run at the Plaza yesterday
afternoon and If the general com
ment of the crowd can be taken as a
criterion for popularity in film pro-
ducts, the Plaza should enjoy a week
of phenomenal business
The story of THE Little American
is laid for the greater part in battle
SCARED Europe and a more vivid Wis
ualization of conditions existing on
the battlefront could not possibly be
accomplished. The characters are
wonderfully portrayed by highly eff
ficient company and the direction of
the production suggests the master
hand of Cecil B. DeMi1le in more than
one gigantic scene.
The torpedoing of the ocean liner
was one, of the most remarkable
bits of photoplay ever flashed on a
picture sheet. Unlike other scenes
of it's kind, it showed both the exter-
Tor and the interior of the boat after
the attack and it also. showed how
the passengers attempted to save
themselves with life belts, boats and
RATS.
The battle scenes are also worthy of
unstinted commentator for, although
they were strikingly realistic, through
out, the element of horror usually at
tending this type of scene, was absent
However, do not CLEAN from the
talk of battle and torpedoes that the
love interest and sweet charm of, th-
average Pickford picture is lacking.
There is romance aplenty and of a
type that makes your heart stutter a
little in more than one instance.
Other features of the program are
"a Clever Dummy" a two act Sen
nett-Keystone comedy; "Specks OF
Garnered Fruit" an o. Henry Story
and Her First Camel a Mr.. and
Mrs. Sidpey Drew Comedy.
