'REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK
 EARM"

Of all the popular and lovable charac- ters that have been given us in book form. on the stage or the screen. dainty, lovable Mary PcSford is perhaps the most popular star in the United States today.
 She comes to the Colonial theatre to- day as the star in "Rebecca of Sunny brook Farm a part made famous on the stage by Miss Mabel Taliaferro.
 The critics over the country have been kind enough to say that the part loses none of it's popularity at the sympathetic even gone farther and have said that was on the stage, while still others are showering Miss Pickford with havins reached her best in this production.
 This is fulsome praise. indeed. because to enumerate the triumphs of Miss Pick. ford approximates reciting the history of the screen, for since the first photo play became more than a hurried suc- cessicn of fleeting figures on the silvered sheen Miss Pickford has been part of the silent drama.
 As Rebecca she is enabled to use ali of the charm of youth and beauty that is hers, and the little girl who was the forerunner of ''Pollyanna" finds happi- ness and radiates happiness to all those around her.
 Heading strong supporting cast of Miss Pickford is Eugene O'Brien, one of the best known leading men of the screen and one who has recently graduated to stellar honors
 Other players Include such well known

as, instead of doing the business as
 it was planned. she suddenly vaulted over the fence and rushed headlong into the house.
 Again. in a woodland scene. a lad der was to be supplied Miss Normand on the instance of her climb into the branches of a tree Again she offered surprise when she insisted upon "shinnying" up the tree. scraping the skin from her hands and otherwise disfiguring herself, after which she insisted she be allowed to cling to the branch la opossum.
 In still another scene according 70 the demands of the scenario as it was writ Miss Normand was to stage fight with one of the mall-town girls of Ferryville, belaboring her with her fists and at length gently pushing her into the stream. Geraldine Farrar. in her figAt w,th the cigarette girl in Carmen" was the first star to make feminine fisti- cuffs reality on ,ne screen, but in her scene with the naughty village belle Miss Normand exceeded even the most sanguine hopes of her director. Not content with the mild excitement of pulling the lady's hair and scracth- ing her. Miss Normand nearly threw herself into the stream in her fever ish endeavor to precipitate the naughty one headlong with the requi- site amount of realism.

the exercise of the strongest will power that I missed a stake race or a handicap.
 Whether they run for Sweeney" or whether I have quietly interviewed a man with satchel and a Jewish cast of countenance, I like to "see them run.''
 And the fact that Checkers" the greatest race play of all time is booked for the Trianon next Monday, bigger and better on the screen than it was on the stage, has set even my nerves ting ling at the thought of the possibilities in this great play for screen photography Apropos of Checkers" and the race track, little incident pops into my mind of a big Irish policeman in New Orleans several years ago when Presbyterian" one of the greatest thoroughbreds who ever looked through bridle, was in a race that looked and was made for the big racer
 Like many of the distance horses, Presbyterian was always well back coming into the stretch and usually in coming up the stretch passed his field like an Empire state express passing a freight train on a double track.
 This particular day the big Irshman had a bet down on the big thoroughbred. and as they turned into the stretch and strengthened out for the wire "Presby terian'' was in good position-about fourth-and, pulling for his head.
 But this was too far back for the Irishmans money and. forgetting the name of his horse even. he mounted the rail and with both hands and mouth going at the same time shouted:
 Come on ye Protestant; come on ye Protestant"
 So it is with me- and so I imagine i, will be with hundreds of other race low CTS in Birmingham. Come on Check CTS '-even in this day and age of re- form and anti gambling, anti-this and that. l can stand to see one more good race. which "Checkers'' is sure to bring. and so imagine ran many others.
 'Checkers' vii, come to the Trianon as mammoth picturization of one of the most famous stage successes in history. A picture dealing with the hero who started life as race track tout and end ed it as a Kentucky colonel. The hero inc was like Rose O'NeiFs Kewpies true blue. made that way and stayed so.
 With it's story of true love that finally triumphs. but only after running the gamut of every human emotion. with it's wonderful possibilities for scenic beauty and gorgeous settings. Checkers should prove one of the best drawing cards the Tranon has ever had.

ELEANORE COCHRAN
 AT THE LYRIC.

This last hall or the week brings to the Lyric what will no doubt prove to be one of the most entertaining bills of the sea- son. Headed by Miss Eleanore Cochran who has not only sung her way into fame in this country but in London and Paris as well. After most successful career in Grand Opera she was heard until re- gently in concert and as soloist with va rious symphony orchestras, and when de '. ciding to come to vaudeville with such wonderful success back of her it can be readily understood how her position at the top was found immediately.
 Art and music make a happy combina ton and Edward Marshall most ably looks after the art part of the programme He is a cartoonst, an illustrator and portrait painter excelling in all three lines
 He calls himself a ''Chalkologist," and is said to be the only left-handed artist in captivity, all of his pictures belng drawn with his left hand.
 Permane and Shelly present The New Idea" so new they do not care to dis- close it, but want it to remain new untr the opening performance.
 An act also on the bill is 'The Four Mel ody Maids" too well known here to need any introduction and last but not least
