exceptional worth. sunday Mon

ley" from the novel by Belle *.
Maniates. will be seen. 1t is said
TO be the funniest phOtOplay in
which Mary has ever appeared, but
while the story consists principally
OF amusing incidents, ii is full OF
simple, hOmely philosophy and en-
deavors to show that people from
the environments OF Clothes Line
alley can never mix happily with
the upper stratum OF society. Mary
Pickford is a scrub girl, her moth
er is washerwoman, and her
brothers are newsboys. She has
refused an offer of marriage from
a gilded society youth and is going
10 marry d bartender. Not in real
life. of course, but in 'Amarilly of
Clothes Line Alley The society
youth falls in love with Amarllly
and Mary and her folks from the
Sums meet the four hundred, re-
sult.ng in extremely funny situa-
tons There are moments of genu-
inc pathos and any number Of
thrills in the course of the picture,
but laughter will hold sway. Mary
Pickford has proven herself again
and again a coincidence of rare
ability The picture has been
sumptuously produced and presents
: scenes from the highest to the
humblest walks of life, some CT
which were taken in the famous
/ chinatown" of San Francisco.
Wednesday and Thursday Charles
Ray will appear in The Family
Skeleton" They say that every
family has its hidden skeleton
something that is never spoken of
save with bated breath-a sort of
bette noire: but in Charles Ray 5
family that is, in his picture, The

is only imaginary. The queer part
of ii all is that the hero, whose par
ticular skeleton is that he fancies
himself an incurable drunkard, SUI
fers far more than if his trouble
had been real How he is cured
by his sweetheart-played by Syl-
via Bremer-is interestingly shown
Also Fatty Arbuckle will be shown
in The Bell Boy" Fatty needs no
introduction whatever; if you have
seen him in The Butcher Boy"
"Coney Island" or Out West" to
tell you that The Bell Boy" has
assurance of being even funnier,
that alone is sufficient Friday and
Saturday Jack Pickford will be
seen again in one of the Mark Twain
series. "Huck and Tom" A day for

ups. Also another side-splitting
