Maria Thompson Daviess, one of the lest known of contemporary nov elists in this country, has written q delightful story in "The Golden Bird' which has been picturized hy Para mount under the name of Little Miss Hoover" and which will be shown at the Best theatre today and tomor- TOW with Marguerite Clark in the stei- lar role.
 The scenes of the story are laid somewhere in Maryland. The hero- inc is winsome creature who shows all the signs, upon every occasion, Of being adorably helpless and fearful, but always rises to the need of the moment and is adequate to every call that is made upon her. Some finan- cial smash has left her and her grandfather suddenly bankrupt, after years of affluence and they retire to an ancestral dOwn-at-the-heel farm where the young woman undertakes to retrieve their fortunes, and aid in the winning of the war, by growing chickens and vegetables.
 The story introduces magnificent white leghorn rooster which, with a squad of similar hens, the heroine hopes will prove the means of their support fer the immediate future. The various needs of herself and her chicken yard bring to her elbow aid and comfort in the form If mysteri- Ous. handsome. red-Keaded persons with an extraordinary knowledge of scientific farming and 2 magic way with animals.
 This man proves a good deal of q mystery to the spectator and to the heroine until the end of the picture, and whether she is going to find her fate with him the picture must tell.
