WHAT KNOXVILLE SAYS
ABOUT DADDY LONG LEGS"

Daddy Long Legs" is the kind of
photoplay you viii want to see twice
and that you will enjoy both times.
Surely no higher praise could be
written.
The screen version of Jean Web
ster's charming story, which has a
record of remarkable success as a
book and as play on the speaking
stage, is even better than these two
previous forms in which it has been
presented to the public. 1t is the first
product of Mary Pickford's own COM
pany and sets very Ugh standard for
Miss Pickford as her own manager.
The cast is good, the direction is good,
the photoplay is excellent, the art
titles and decorations are good-well,
it's all fine. Also, from the technical
side this picture presents the first
night scene that ever impressed the
writer with looking like sure enough
night scene.
Mary Pickford is at her best in
Daddy Long Legs" especially in the
juvenile scenes of the first few reels
depicting life at the John Grier Home
for orphans. But she is not the whole
cast. Honors in his photoplay must
be shared with the star and at least
three child-actors who are remark
ably clever, among them being Yves
Barry, who appeared here last week
as the Topeka boy in "The Unpardon-
able SIM" Miss Pickford's adult sup
port is considerably above par. Also
there is dog which is presented in
comedy scene which alone comes
pretty near being worth the price of
admission.
For sweetness, freshness and clean
illness, none Of the past excellent pro-
grams of the Strand equal Daddy
Long Legs"

Wreck Twin
Bridges Tied
Up Traffic

A freight wreck at Twin Bridges,
between Wolfe Creek and Hot
Springs, late yesterday evening, tied
up traffic on the Carolina division Of
the Southern railway for nearly IL
hours.
The wreck was caused by a large
rock falling on the side of the track
in front of the local freight from
Asheville, which was pushing a dam
aged car in front and the engineer
was unable to see the boulder. The
car struck the boulder and went to
pieces, and the engine turned over
and a dozen more cars piled up be-
hind the engine. The engineer and
fireman jumped and saved them
selves.
The wrecker was called from Knox
vile and the track was cleared so
that the belated passenger trains
could get through.

MISS AGNES PETER,

Can polar bears. a pair OF EN-,

OF Washington"
This is the question concerning
which Arthur Z. Seymour, secretary
Of the Chamber of Commerce, is try
ing to get his bearings
Il all came about when Seymour
received a telegram from Raymond ].
Hibbs, Of Port Davis, Alaska. Hibbs
has two polar bear cubs, male and
female, which he wishes to sell to
Seymour or some one else in Wash
lugton.
But Seymour didn't want two polar
bears. And he didn't know of any
cne else who wanted them. So he
called the Zoo.
No. the Zoo didn't want the bears.
But they would compile a list of peo-
pie in Washington who might want
the bears. And that is what they are
doing.
But am rather worried" said Sey-
polar climates. What will they do in
Washington when the summer comes
around? VIII they suffer? II that is
The case, we don't want them brought
here"
II any Washingtonian knows any
thing which bears on the matter OF
polar bears and their customs, he is
requested to call Mr.. Seymour at
the Chamber Of Commerce.
It's a bear OF a question in the
opinion OF the Chamber Of Commerce
secretary.
