HELEN MARIE OSBORNE

"Little Mary Sunshine" the cele-
brated play by Dan f. Whitcomb.
which rs partly responsible for the
worldwide movement to produce
better pictures for children, was
filmed by Balboa for the House of
Pathe in 1915. It's success has
been so unparalleled that Pathe has
contracted with Balboa for six add
ditional plays all to star the same
baby artistic who gave the play
Little Mary Sunshine such a
tremendous vogue. This wonder
full child is Helen Marie Osborne,
and she lives at Long Beach, Cal,
in the shadow Of Balboa's studio,
but throughout the Americas and
even in England and war-torn
Europe she is known as Little Mary
Sunshine, and doubtless this charm
ing sobriquet will stick to her
through life. At Balboa studio she
is known also as the "Baby Grand"
and she is in truth a baby grand.
The difference between Little Mary
Sunshine and most other children
in motion pictures is this: Other
shildren come and go, appearing in
few scenes, being entirely Incl
dental to the story, but the Balboa
wonder actually takes the
leading lady's part, carrying the
story through five reels of film, with
the action written around her and
she being the star in fact and
name. This baby star is only four
and half years old, and she is as
much a baby now as the first day
she stepped before a camera. There
isn't anything STACEY about her at

The marriage of Miss Anna
Christine King and Mr.. John An
drew Hickey, of Sharpsburg, was
solemnized Wednesday, Feb. 14th,
1917, at 8 o'clock, Rev. O'Bryan, of
Winchester, officiating. Miss Flor

who is a cousin of the bride, was

Maggie King. The bridal party af-
forwards motored to Paris and left
for short trip East.
The bride, who is a pretty and
attractive young lady of the bru-

travelling suit of blue. The groom is
young man of substantial char
acter and sterling worth and is a
favorite with all who know him.
Their many friends join in extend

America is the land of che freak

has been presented in the South
Dakota Legislature which forbids a

agnosis he removes an appendix
which is not diseased. All vermi-
form appendices removed must be

all. Her director, Henry King, him
self a moving picture headliner, sees
to that. Mr.. King is only in his
twentes and yet he knows more
about children than men with large
families. Anyhow he knows more
about Little Mary Sunshine. To
see Mr.. King at work with his pro-
tege before the camera is a JOY.
What he seems to do is to get right
into the scene with her and prevent
her from acting. The minute a child
begins to act she gets self-con-
sciOus and it's all off. Balboa's
proudest laurel is the place unani-
mously awarded it as pioneer Of
the movement for better films for
children, and that its standard is to
be maintained is evidenced by the
reports that the Little Mary Sun

the appendix is sound its owner
doesn't have to pay a cent to the
surgeon for having it removed, but
if it be diseased. then he must pay

THE LITTLE THINGS OF LIFE

community.
But on second thought you are
not so sure, and after mature re-
Election you are ready to discard
them all.
Then you begin to cast about
among the less notable ones. Now
you are "getting warm" as the chill
dren say.
Now you have located him, and
you are surprised, because he is
never associated in your mind with
the great, or even the near great,
nevertheless, as you study him, his
popularity and the reasons therefor
are brought forcibly to your atten-
ten.
In the first place you study him
as he comes down town in the morn
ing. His progress is slow, as he
seems to be stopped by every per-
son he meets, and he has a warm
handshake and cheerful "Good
Morning" for all. You follow him
to his place of business and see him
radiating the same sunshine and
cheerful greeting, and you find he
is known to every employee on the
place as "Uncle."
Watch him, if he is a merchant,
as the store begins to fill with Gus
toners. Each receives the same
cordial welcome. To the ladies he
is especial courteous, and you are
surprised to see that courtesy I'M
shaken even when confronted by
one whom you by no stretch of the
imagination could term a lady. He
sees your surprise and-"for the
sake of the SEX" he smiles.
Now watch him as he starts for
home toward nightfall. School is
out and the children are on the
streets. Here he must stop to shoot
a marble with a crowd of urchins,
and they hail his coming with shouts
of glee. Another must pursuade
him to have a try at his top. On
account Of his avoirdupoise he has
to draw the line at the hoop which
another offers him, but he starts it
off for the youngsters to pursue.
A little further on he is accosted
by bevy of small girls, who are in
their element as they swarm around
him, clamoring for a story, teas
ing him to jump rope, or even rihing
his pockets for suspected sweets.
You see him as he reaches his
home, when the good wife meets
him at the gate. She has sad tale
for his ear. Sorrow has entered
neighbours home. AT once he is all
sympathy, and without waiting to
enter his own door he passes on to
the house of sorrow. Perhaps he
can offer naught but sympathy, but
this comes so plainly from the heart
and is accompanied by such a warm
clasp of the hand, that it carries its
blessed message of comfort and
sympathy.
Now you are beginning to appre-
ciate the true reason for his popu-
larity. He is a man of innumerable
small deeds of kindness, but those
deeds are such as touch the heart
strings of the people about him. lie,
has never aspired to great
things, being content to occupy
himself with the small affairs of
life, knowing full well, wise man
that he is, that of such is human
life composed. He would smile
with incredulity were you to hint to
him of his great popularity, because
he is essentially one of the humble
ones of earth.
And his great popularity-whence
comes itY
In his heart he has caught and
held the echo Of a voice from the
far off past-"and the second is like
unto this; thou shall love thy neigh
