MARY PICKFORD AS "JUDY" IN
DADDY LONG LEGS" LEARNS
LESSON FROM HARD CIDER JUG
Quaint HumOr Injected into Screen
Version of Famous Story and Play
By Director Marshall Neilan

One of the funniest of all the hu-
morous things with which Mary Pick
ford's new and best feature, Daddy
Long Legs" which will be seen at the
Palace Theatre, December 24-25. is
loaded in a series of scenes in which
Mary, as Judy Abbott, takes too much
hard cider.
The funny little drunk" is not in
dulged in by Judy Abbott, the orphan
child Miss Pickford plays, with mall
ice aforethought 1t happens that she
and a funny little orphan with a very
freckled face have just lead a 'prune
strike" in which they have sought to
obtain better food for the children of
the asylum, who are fed on thin soup
and prunes.
Prohibition MatrOn SpOils "Jag"
The tyrannical head matron has
won the battle, being a large woman
able to dominate the covering little
waits who are charges of the institu-
tion, and to punish Judy, and the little
boy who aided her in encouraging
the children to strike, the matron puts
them out in the yard with nothing to
eat. A thief who has been stealing
from a passing wagon throws over
the fence a jug of hard cider, and
some sandwiches.
Judy and. the boy have been pray
ing for food. They think this dropped
from Heaven. and proceed to eat and
drink without inquiring into the ma
ture of the donation. So it happens
that in the most innocent way both
children become happy" Miss Pick
ford's portrayal of the surprised Judy
who Furnishes her enemies, gives jam
to all the children and defies the ogre
of a matron is wonderfully done.
1t is only one of the masterful
bits" she does in this picture which
carries Judy. the orphan from her
birth to her marriage to a rich man
who sends her to college. d17-2t
