Jack Pickford is gifted with the family
genius for camera acting. His express
sive countenance mirrors the faintest
shades of emotion. But the dedication
OF the cinema to youth. RANT and in

OF the story.
Lila Lee and the rest of the smiling
cuties have not the field altogether to
themselves. Mr. Pickford and Charles
Ray are, among others, present to show
that there Is more than one kind Of
youth. But they are always safeguarded
with some such lovely associate as
Gloria Hope. who was beloved of the
hero yesterday. It is a wise precaution.
There were the Strand Topical Re-

OF Mr.. Moore's test. He had TO be a
