CIRCLE.
Mary Pickford holds full sway at the
Circle this week in that very glad piece,
"Pollyanna." 1t is another of those pic
lures in which this star brings to your
eyes real tears, which are shed in sym
pathy for the predicament in which we
see the little being. Those sad moments
| only last ? short while though in Pol
| lyanna," as the scene is soon changed
to comedy, where uproarious laughter is
brought from the audience. Mary Pick
| ford is seen in this picture as a child
of u years, young creature who sees
! only the glad side Of life, no matter
how cloudy and dark it looks at some
| times She is left an orphan and goes
| to live with her Aunt Polly, who doesn't
care at all for children. Here she finds
many ways to brighten the lives of the
sick in the village, only to be repaid by
| her aunt In whippings and seedlings.
And then comes that time when she
finds, hiding in q haystack, a, funny
! little boy, Jimmie Bean, who assists her
in her antics. This is too much for
Aunt Polly, and more comical things
happen. But there is that day when
a terrible accident happens to POllyanna,
and her aunt realizes that covered love
for the child.
Miss Pickford is a lovely little girl.
Her big eyes are full of childish ex-
preston and, her long and heavy curls
are Characteristic. The roles OF Jimmie
Bean and Aunt Polly are well chosen.
So real is little Jimmie in his pranks
! that one can look back and remember
/ Just such a youngste?, who was always
in mischief Although the perturbation
OF "Pollyanna" is good, there is some
what of a change in the story, such
as usually exists in picturiSations The
ending of the play and story was de-
| lightful, while the picture ends in rather
an improbable manner.
The soloist this week is Willard
| "A
| the direction Of Ernest Schmidt gives
an especially arranged program. The
new stage setting is by Frank Zimmerer.

ALEXANDRIA.
Rather unconventional, yet withall
pleasing and entertaining, is the Al
hambra's Offering, 1.-THE Woman in the
Suitcase" featuring Enid Bennett. This
star has practically the only really good
part in the picture but she does we'll.
! She plays the part of Mary Moreland to
perfection and her beauty covers the
parts of the play which are dubious.
/ Mary Moreland is a charming girl who
idolizes her parents. She discovers a
picture of q chorus girl In her fathers
suitcase and realizes that her father,
who she thought perfect, is unfaithful
to her mother. Instead Of revealing her
knowledge and upbraiding him for his
waywardness, she plans to bring his mis-
take before him as a terrible reality.
Her first step is to make the acquaint-
ance Of Dolly, the woman in the suit
CASE Things begin to happen thick and
fast and Mary soon brings everything
around in fine shape, even a love~affsir
for herself. The bill, which viii be shown
the first half of the week, includes a
Briggs comedy and Fox news film.

/ puncher, things begin to happen. She
