Jack Pickford--Louise Huff
Coming in Jack and JILL

1t is a we'll known fact that a family
usually produces no more than one or
at the very most two brilliant men,
bers. After that, the children are apt
to be mediocre, If not actually below the
average. But a brilliant exception to
this rule has been found. This Is the
famous Pickford family of which each
member has proven a genius. first
little Mary" second her brilliant
brother Jack, and third, Lottie. who is
star in her own right.
OF Mary little need be said. while
Lottie, too, is well known. Jack Pick
ford, however, Is the latest recruit to
the ranks of photoplay stardom from
the Pickford family and of him. one of
the biggest trade papers recently said:

the minds of everyone seeing Mr.. Pick

expression. and their representing to
the minutest degree the exact feeling
called for"
That the public has recognized this
latent talent in young Mr. Pickford Is
evident from the exceptional list of
productions in which he has appeared
by popular demand. including: Seven
teen" by Booth Harrington; Great
Expectations" the famous Dickens
novel: THE Dummy" from the stage
production; "Freckles," from Gene
Stratton- Porter's novel; and number
less other productions.
About 10 years of age, young Pick

1.-THE Thirteenth Chair" Fur.
nishes Chance for Sleuths
to Use Wits.
AUDIENCE GUESSING
Mel0drama Is Constructed
Along Lines Calculated to
Excite Curiosity.

BY long odds 1.-THE Thirteenth Chair"
which comes to the Missoula theater
next Tuesday night. is one OF the most
fascinatingiy interesting plays Mis-
soula theatergoers will get a chance
to see during the present season.
1t isn't exactly drama at that.
Rather. It's a melodrama constructed
along lines OF splendid success In ex-
citing curiosity. arouslng thrills and
keeping even the proverbial know-it-
alls. the man who always knows how
everything is done at the sleight-of-
hand shows, that inevitable explorer
and home grown Columbus OF the
theater, from guessing the solution OF
the mystery until the playwright Is
ready for Its disclosure in the last few
minutes of the very last act. The
woman who usually sits behind you at
the theater and takes all the stuffing
out Of the stage dolly to show you that
she knows more than you do. because
she saw the play in Chicago pr New
York, will not be there.
Artfuity Designed.
The prime purpose of this article Is
to tell you that THE Thirteenth Chair
Is distinctly work Of the theater, art
fully designed to appeal to ones
healthy liking for thrilling story
wherein the situations are Of para
mount interest. and the characters OF
Importance only as they contribute to
most engrossing and mystifying &C.
casion. The purpose is to inform you
that the play construction. Bayard
WELLER did 1t, Is OF exceeding adroit-
ness. In that the author gives us an
interesting murder case without n too
persistent explanation of preceding
events, and then in the presence OF the
audience introduces a second murderer
obviously linked with the preceding
one and proceeds to locate the muir
derer without once permitting suspi-
cion to rest on the real culprit.
The purpose Of this is not by any
means to tell who Is the murderer, or
to throw any light whatsoever on the
mystery. That would be just like
opening the book at the last chapter
to see II he marries the girl. We will
not say how the play ends and who Is
guilty, because there is so much ex-
element and SO many thrills that II
would spoil the play for you.
Bayard WELLER has written the kind
OF play that might have come from
Anna Katharine Green or Conan Doyle,
but 1t happens that he credits his In
