COLONIAL THEATRE

Mary Pickford in "M'Liss"-Superb,
PhotopIay of the Golden West,
Monday
Mary Pickford Americas sweet
heart" recently made Il regular army
Colonel in California. in her newest
successful liss" is the feature ex-
traordinary at the Colonial today.
m liss" is by far the most popular
photodrama in which the Queen OF
the movies" has ever been seen and a
record breaking attendance is assured.
Miss" is a perturbation of Bret
Harte's masterpiece of the west and is
filled with rich humor and homely pa
thos and all those heart appealing ele-
ments. which go for success in cinema
productions. The picture has been
produced upon an elaborate scale and
the photography is highly effective.
The play is one of strong dramatic
action and the heart appeal is irresis-
tible.
While several of Bred Harte's fas-
cinating tales of the days of gold in
California, have been transferred to
the screen, it has remained for Mary
Pickford to translate to ceiluloid, MIR.
Harte's greatest feminine creation,
Miss" the heroine of his immortal
story Of that name Miss Pickford
says herself that Miss is more like
her favorite picture, Tess Of the
Storm Country" than anything she
has Gone since the production of that
photoplay more than four years ago.
The character of IN Hiss" provides
Miss Pickford with abundant oppor-
tunities for the display of those char
acteristics which have made her the
foremost screen artist in the world.
She is at her best as the harum- scar
UNI child of the mines, the daughter
of a drunken father. to whom she
pays the most devoted care. The OBJ
ject of ridicule wherever she goes. the
sport of the boys and girls Of Red
Gulch, she learns to take her own
part and in numerous scenes with
these children, and to the delight Of
her audience. she demonstrates be-
yond question her fighting qualities.
When a handsome school teacher
enters Red Gulch, NJ liss goes to him
to be learned" and Cupid snarcs
them both. She saves her innocent
lover from an avenging mob and what
happens later is only one of the sur
prises for the admirers of our Mary
in this delightful play.
There's Il hearty laugh, tiny sob
and host of thrills in this famous
story by the Poet Of the Sierra Ne
vadas" A beautiful love theme, wo-
ven around this little ragged girl, who
buffeted by fortune ard fate in the
California Gold Rush, stakes her all
in the faith Of her sweetheart. You
can just imagine what a wonderful
picture it makes for our Little Ma
ry." You know what Mary Pickford

DAYLIGHT SAVING
Change in Details for
the Season of 1919

Washington, June 16.-Present ap-
plication Of the Daylight Saving Law,
as it affects localities, will probably
be changed in detail by the Interstate
Commerce Commission before the
1919 spring advance touches Ameri-
can clocks, though in main, inves.i-
gators now proceeding find the hour
advance working satisfactorily.
Examiners for the commission have
completed the taking of evidence on
the subject in Eastern and Mountain
cities, but still have to conclude hear
ingS in the Middle West. At Ell Paso.
Tex, June II, the final hearings will
be completed, and after that formal
reports to the commission will be
available.
While the duty of prescribing the
limits of the four time zones in the
/ United States fell to the commission,
as a temporary eXpedient it adopted
the demarkations of Eastern, Central,
Mountain, and Pacific time as made
by railroads, and fixed a fifth belt to
govern Alaska.
The examiners were sent out to see
whether changes in the railroad time
limits would not convenience business
and social life if adopted. They have
found to date a number of points.
generally on the eastern edges of time
belts, which already had systems Of
daylight saving by running on the
hours of the belt adjacent to them.
A dual system of time has been
found in several places in the United
States. where railroad time" and
town time" have both been custom
ariiy recognized, the latter being ore
hour faster than the former. Some
points have continued the system,
even under the general time advance
last spring, while others have adopted
a single standard. Rulings will per-
kaps affect these.
The law is not compulsory. except
for persons doing business with tie
government and railroads, but the
examiners are finding that compliance
with it is almost universal. Specitical-
~, the law defines the hour zones
across the United States as center
ing respectively, upon the 18th, Goth.
f05th, and 120th Meridians west Of
Greenwich. with borders equidistan Mt
! between the Mcridians. The commits
sion exercised its power to set aside
these standards, and adopted the
existing railroad zones, which are
only roughly similar to the legal ones,
in order not to confuse and disturb
the course of life.
In the main, it is expected that the
examiners will report the railroad
zones suitable, though changes in
them will be made where workability
of the law and ease of application can
be secured.
