MARY PiCKFORD PLAYS GLAD
GAME AND REALLY LIKES IT

When thousands upon thousands OF
people start to play the same game,
a game that is unusual in Its every
detail. and yet quite simple, one nat
urally becomes interested. The game
OF "Pollyanna," In other words, the
game of being glad" has swept this
country from Coast to Coast and it
has gotten such a stronghold upon the
people that they have gone SO far
as TO exclain that "If there was a
~'pollyanna' in every household, we
would, in time, be able to close half
of our hospitals and ~reformatorios and
sanatoriums-halt~ of our medical
schools and drug stores and we would
put half of u physicians and law
yers out of practice"
For hat reason, Mary Pickford,
who appears in the screen version
of "~Pollyanna" at the Ditmas Thea
tire. was recently asked to talk about
this wonderful glad game" This
picture is Miss Pickford's first indie
p%endently produced picture for United
Artists Corporation.
"'Pollyanna' is playing a game"
remarked Miss Pickford, "and the
glad game doesn't mean that we are
to rejoice that we have a broken
leg or because people are starving
somewhere, or because there was a
war. No one but an idiot woul smile
over evil. No, it just means that we
are to look around and to find the
things that there are to be glad about
and to make the most Of those.
do you know what l think is the
most beautiful scene in 'Pollyanna !?
1t is where she goes to John Pendle-
ton the old king Crouch, when She
finds him in his castle and she says,
Just because you close the shutters,
does not mean thai the sun isn't still
shining
II will admit l got tired of saying
the word glad during the making of
my picture, but L did not swear at
the scene-shifter, OF throw things at
my maid, or do anything that hin
dered the Joyous atmosphere Of the
studio.

The movement for the fulfillment Of
ting under way-even before the new
Governor has gone through the for
nality of being elected. The proposed
new state agricultural training school
is ;,lmost-it might he said-taking Oh
shape now. And since we are to have
Baton Rougc-as primary preparation
for the big thing-we shall need some
kind of training in our BosSier Parish
schools.
Why is it, by the way. that we teach
farmer boys everything in our schools
except farming: And why is it fact
also that we, teach farmer girls most
of all those things that are useless in
the home life aud least of all the
science of preparing food for the hui
man farm worker. For cooking Is Il
science-when it is not ii mess.
Let us, then, begin to he practical in
bone education as well as at the top of
the educational system. Farmer boys
should learn to farm when they 30 to
school aud their sisters should learn
how to cook food so that it will nouriSll

before, cooking is as exact il science as
agriculture. and neither vocation can

was that the Salvation Army under

to make an appeal to the rest of us

will not make that appeal in vain. F..
THE Salvation Army one year ago
abandoned its old custom of begging
in the streets the year around SO that
it's workers could devote all of their
