PoLLYANNA HAS A WONDERFUL
HUMAN APPEAL.
Gladstone Influence of Mary Pick
ford's Production Unusual

The first night of fPollyanna" at
the Rhode Opera House was one of the
most unusual in its history. 1t was,
however, typical of the first night of a
Mary Pickford production, but it was
unusual by reason of the fact that the
production itself was so far superior to
most things that have ever before been
accomplished on the screen.
"Pollyanna s" philosophy has been
portrayed by Miss Pickford as opti-
mism-a "Gladness for things which
might always be worse. Her story was
taken out Of the "Glad" books by
Eleanor H. Porter, which have been
read by millions of people.
The production gives one relief
from every day things and turns ones
thoughts from the trials and tribula-
tions of man to his gentler side, for
every man and woman has gentler
side some time or other and the one
picture that can reach it is FPoHyanna-
Such bright sunbeam has not
fitted across the screen at the Rhode at
any time, and those who saw Miss
Pickford in the passing, will have a
lasting reminder of her for a long
time to come.
The pathos of an unwelcome heart
whose sorrow is crowned with a nat
ural "Gladness" is made manifest
many times and it sank deeply into the
heart of the audience. But in trice,
it changed to joy. The tears that arose
would turn to smiles and laughter. The
change was so quick that it was hard
to tell where the one began and the
other ended. 1t is a picture to be re-
membered always and although it
brought it's lesson to everyone, that
surely will not be taken amiss.
"Pollyanna will never grow up for
her philosophy will always remain the
same truthful "Gladness' as long as
human nature exists. Miss Pickford is
indeed a most lovable character as the
"Glad Girl - She has never been
more daintily sweet and charming, for
she has one Of those sweetly appealing
hearts that grip one from the very
start. Her wonderful performance as
the little orphan waif, places her on
a higher pedestal than she has been
heretofore.
Her winsome personality and en-
trancing beauty indeed lend them
selves to embellish her Aawless inter
probation of "Pollyanna and her
very presence on the screen was sug-
gestive Of the joy of living.

Parents Of Baby when It Comes to
Question of Separation Find Parental
Love too Strong and Withdraw Offer
to Give Baby for Adoption.

Blood proved stronger than water"
again in Kenosha on Tuesday afternoon
when in spite of offers of splendid
home for the little 'son of hero ~
the Kenosha baby. whose father wrote
to a Chicago newspaper, offering it for
adoption-the parents decided when it
came time for an actual decision that
they we're not willing to give the BABY
to some one else and that they woald
find some way to care for it them.
selves.
The offer of the child for adoption
brought several people to the home Of
the man who had faced the Germans
and been so wounded that the baby s
cries unnerved him and lead him to
offer the baby for adoption.
One Woman From Milwaukee.
One woman-and she was a woman
of means-came from Milwaukee Mon
day morning when she heard of the I'M
usual offer. She was greatly interested
in the story of the baby and asked to
be allowed to make it her own child.
She was told the address of the par
ents and went Immediately to the home
to see the parents and the child.
She was not the only person who in
vestigated the case. Several Kenosha
people also showed real interest in
the child and were willing to take it
into their homes if the parents were
entirely agreeable.
Mothers Love Too Strong.
At the home it was another instance
of - looked and John and John look
ed at me- - When the Milwaukee wo-
man came with an actual offer to take
the child, the parental love was too
strong and bottle parents told the Wis
itor that they had reconsidered and
that they would find some way to take
care of the baby.
The mother was the fist to speak.
"When we thought of giving the baby
to someone else, we never realized how
much we really loved it and now it

she held it closer to her and sang some
I" little nothings" into it's baby ear.
She explained that after thinking it
over, they had decided that they would
find some way to keep the little new
conner from interfering with it's faith
er's health and that while they ap.
preeiated the good will with which the
offers were made, they did not care to
accept them.
Tell Others the Same.
The same thing was told to all who
showed an interest in the affair and

He's Kenoshan who refused to
make any kind of surrender to old
General Flu and who finally put the in
vader to flight and is keeping him
from interfering with the regular rou-
tine of his life. He had to wheel the
baby to work with him but that never
halted him and incidentally it proved
the easiest way out.
The interesting story started few
weeks ago when the mother of the fam
lily was taken with a heavy cold which
looked like it might develop into influ-
enza. The husband, an employee of the
Nash factory. was unable to find a
nurse and stayed home to help with
things around the house
''Come Back to Work.
The husband and father was entirely
satisfied with the arrangement where
by he was to stay home and keep the
baby and take medicine to the mother
but an urgent call came to him from
ately. He did not want to leave the
baby at home where it would be care
to his wife, who had partially recover
ed from her cold, lest the additional
strain should be the "last straw" and
bring on the dreaded pneumonia
The father and baby were perfectly
well and he was needed badly at the
factory. That night he figured out his
plan.
"Gets Out Baby Cab''
Early the next morning the neigh
bors were astonished to see "Mr. So
and-So" dressed up in his working
clothes and pushing baby cab in the
general direction of the Nash factory
Inside the cab, tucked under several
blankets manlike-was the baby en-
joying the morning air. The work
man turned up for work little early
took the baby around to the emergency
hospital of the factory and left it there
during the day with the nurse. When
he came back from work he brought
the baby with him and that was his
plan.
Works Like Charm.
The scheme has worked admirably.
The wife, relieved Of all care of the.
child, has rapidly recovered from her
illness. The baby, too, has had good
time of it. He has slept and cooed and
cooed and slept and become quite a
favorite at the factory. The morning
and evening constitutionals seem to
agree with him and he continues to be
in the best of health
The plan, too, has met with the ap-
prevail Of the "mere man" who invent
ed it for it has enabled him to keep up
his needed work at the factory and has
likewise helped in driving i'll health
