AVENUE GRAND.

A strange marriage compact and
its results form the thread OF the
narrative Of by Right OF Purchase"
Yesterdays flr0 feature at Crandalrs
Avenue Grand. Norma TaImadge has
the part OF the beautiful daughter Of
a woman who is socially ambitious,
but is almost at the end Of her
financial resources. The girl is be-
loved by a young millionaire, a man
OF excellent character. Forced by her
mothers need. the girl finally agrees
to marry him under an agreement
that savors much OF the trial mar
rage" idea. Its conditions provide
that for a period Of two years she
shall remain as a wife in name only,
and, IL at the expiration OF that
time he has failed to win her love,
that he will release her with an an
nuity. From this unique situation is
evolved a, story that is ipgeniously
related and which holds the specta-
tors close interest throughout. Eu-
gene O'Brien is cast in the role OF
the husband. and acquits himself
creditably. This picture is being re-
peated at today's showings.

LOEW's COLUMBIA.

"Mliss," Bret Harte's story OF the
Sierrss, which is the feature for the
entire week at Eoew's Columbia,
makes just the sort of a photopIay
that Mary Pickford finds adaptable
To her capabilities. AS the little wAif
OF the mining camp back in 40, she
has an opportunity to play Ghe IN
tutOred hOyden, and fomp through a
series OF comical incidents which at
times turn TO melodrama to provide
the contrasting thrills.
The setting for ''M'liss' does not
have to depend upon the skill OF the
mechanical stan OF the producer. as
there are no property scenes in the
picture, but for a backdrop there is
the whole range OF the .Sisrras and
the floor OF the redwood forests for
a stage.
Particularly effective is the sunrise
scene wherein Miss watches the
great light creep over the top Of the
mountains
