MARY PICKFoRD
NOW AT CIRCLE.

Mary Pickford in "Suds" is not nearly
as funny as she has been I'm the past,
and instead of being pathetic she is just
sad.
The story Of "Suds" concerns o little
drudge, who works in a laundry "a Eng
land and tells the hard-workinG women
of the laundry that she is nobility in
disguise
A shirt of nobleman has been in the
laundry for eight months and she tells
the girls that when his highness comes
for the shirt he will claim her.
The owner of the shirt arrives and
Amanda, that's Mary. has a terrible time
TO put over her bluff.
Her highbrow romance goes to pieces
and she is content to find true love with
the laundry boy, who worships Amanda
for herself alone.
There is one funny episode in the pic
ture when Amanda prevents Lavender,
the broken down laundry horse, from
being made into glue.
Somehow or other, the picture misses
FIRE and at no time does Mary Pickford
land her usual knockout punch.
The moving picture public is getting
tired of this mushy stuff and that is
what "Suds" is; not even Mary Pickford
is able to save 1t.
The writer believes that Mary has over
done II in making herself look SO
wretched.
We like Mary when she is pretty, not
when she is ugly as in Studs"

Almost every one will like 1.-The World

And they will like 1t for the simple
reason that it is real.
From beginning to the end Of this

of each of the actions OF the different
characters is so obvious that the word
maybe" never occurs TO the audience.
Alma Rubens plays the principal part.
that Of fedora, wife of a wealthy and
prominent Spaniard
In our opinion, this role viii always
lie associated with Miss Rubens, as she
fills it with a thoroughneSs that leaves
nothing to be desired.
The realism Of her part is never ques-
toned
Her passionate love for her husband.
and her contempt for the opinion of the
world for her actions, which she knows
to be right. are excellently portrayed.
She IS, in the photopiay, a spanish
gentlewoman to the fnger-tips. with love
as the guiding influence Of her life.
There are many tears IN the play,
which is a drama of sadness, jealousy
and mistaken kindness.
Montague Love plays Don Julian, the
husband Of the beautiful fedora, and
the rest Of the cast includes Charles
