Little Women" as a book has prob

book written in America with the pos

Nearly every girl in the world has read

years ago. Little Women" ran for
eighteen months and then toured the
country with success everywhere. Many
attempts have been made to secure
the rights Of Little Women" for the
screen, but 1t remained for William A.
Brady to persuade the Alcott Estate TO
permit the picture being made.
Harley Knowles, who directed the pic
ture. chose the scenes in and about the
home Of Louisa NJ. Alcott at Concord
Mass. The house that she lived in has
been preserved as memorial of the
famous author. Mr.. Knowles used the
very rooms she lived in to picture her
scenes. The Plumfeld Orchard will be
seen in the photoplay as it is today. To
those who loved Little Women" this
picture will be doubly attractive because
of the fact that 1t was taken amid the
scenes where Miss Alcott lived and died.
