and it is for this reason as we'll as
for the fact that he has become a
famous portrayer of boy roles, such
as "Freckles," the"Dummy," "Seven-
teen" and others, that he was chosen
by Paramount for the character OF
Tom.
He isn't so old that he has forgot
ten the days when he lived breath
lessly through the pages of the story,
joying with the redoubtable Tom in
his adventures or sorrowing with
him in his misfortunes. The incident
of the whitewashed fence which re-
ceived three coats, and for which
Tom, who was supposed to do it him
self. received payment of unlimited
marbles, jews-harps, tadpoles and
other boys treasures, has long been
a favorite of Mr.. Pickford's. and 1t is
faithfully portrayed in the screen
version.
The fact that the exterior scenes
were taken at Hannibal Missouri,

ness of the production. The river

the village that day. On my way to
the courtroom I saw him walking

carried her staff in her left hand while
the forefinger of her right hand was
pointing him out. Silent as ghost
and as unheeded-one would say-she
followed his steps.
I observed that old Kate sat on
front seat with her hand to her ear
and Grimshaw beside his lawyer at
big table and that when she looked at
him her lips moved in strange I'M

face filed with Joy as one damning
