easy to believe that she has chosen.
IL this production, the greatest

her selection of a story which not

dous appeal by virtue of :ts far

MISS Pickford. in assuming the
role OF Pollyanna, makes particu-
larly vivid and appealing the early
struggles and sorrows of a littIe
orphan girl who is cast upon The
very doubtful and extremely aus
tere charity of a maiden aunt, who
resists the child's attempts at
friendliness. Then comes the emf
sode in which the girl is injured
trying to save someone else. and
Aunt Polly's hardened heart is soft
ened to kindness. though appar-
emily too late.
Even In this great extremity we
see the badly injured Pollyanna
trying to lift her own sorrow and
the sorrow Of those about her by
playing the glad game" her own
manifestation Of the gospel of hap
piness, and a warming glow spreads
about the heart as we see Polly

dramatic spice and flavor of romance
that courses through Commodore 4

opened a weeks engagement at this
house yesterday.
we all remember those days when
we went from knee pants TO long

passant books on the top shelf out of
our reach; of course. we got them just
the same. Tastes change in wears.
but the tang of De Maupa ssant and
Gautier still fingers. Respectable nv
ProxyS Is not in the same class as
these mediaeval masterpieces. but il
contains a situation around which
even these master word painters could
have evolved something that would go
through the ages to be read with
avidity by boarding school girls, col
lcge boys and men in their dotage.
While some of these authors mrxr
have been a trifle bold and bald in
their statements, the current produc
ton is entertainment which even prim
debutantes and devilish youths could
attend and not feel that t1ey had put
one over on the late Anthony Com
stock.
Respectable by Proxy is sheer
romance. with tobasco-like elements
added to give II a wholesome flavor.
Everybody apparently.is interested in
show girls and their alleged wit.

an accurate brush. and brings in an
unique situation which a stronghold
