Breed Theatre

Ina elexir of a chiIdis love and its power to straighten the viewpoint. of men and women whose outlook on fife has become distorted will be demon strated at the Breed theatre today, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when Mary Picbford appears in "Pollyan- na," her first United Artists produc- ton.
 This picture play differs from any of Little Mary's recent productions in that she portrays little girl throughoct the entire picture.
 There is nothing more convincing then Miss Pictford's S characterization in this photoplay. She does not mere ly act the part of a, little girl; she-i a little girl Her work in PoIlyanna indicates that she has devoted unlim' ited time to the study of children, for there is no small characteristic which has escaped her.
 The pranks played by Pollyanna furnish intending fun. Those with whom she comes in. contact think it strange that this little girl is able to be glad no matter what happens. Her unusual philosophy wins many friends, and in the end, after she has been badly hurt in an accident, those who had held out persistently against her teachings and who needed the leaven of her philosophy the most, saw the folly Of their ways and the glad game" became part Of their lives.
 Other pictures on the bill include 'SThe Eternal Triangle" and Prfzma.

During its three months season in Boston, ''kobjn Hood proved to be me most popular of the many operas given by the Boston English Opera Company It was sung for two weeks to crowded houses and it made the eenlalGcaible achieventant of playing during that period to the largest re- ceipts in the history of the Airing ton theatre, which under it's former name of the Castle Square has es- tahiished a reputation throughout the united States as the home of pop dlar opera.

Master of Life was himself a red man and was about to restofe to his people to their rightful supremacy over their white interiors, who should be tramp led under food. By the side of this religious fanatic stood his warrior brother Teeumseh. That pair of sav- age crusaders were restrained for years from taking the war path by Harrison's bold and slsilful diplomacy and by the general faith in his word and his characters.
 The Indians were aroused at last by rumors of the approaching War of 1872, and they struck the long delay ed blow. But Harrison with his 500 frontiersmen, got rather the better of them in a famous little skirmish at Tippecanioe, Ind. With the actual opening of hostilities between the Americans and the British, the sav- ages became the allies of the Britt | Ish, and the entire future of the great Middle West was at stake.
 At Harrison's request, Oliver Haz- ard Perry was sent out to build and fight squadron of ships. It was to the General that the victorious naval commander dispatched from the Bat 1 tie of Lake Erie his celebrated mas sage; We have met the enemy and they are ours"
