"Pollyanna, the delightful char
acter Of book and Stage, came to the
screen of the Colonial theater last
evening with Mary Pickford in the
title role, and from both humorous
and sentimental viewpoint it was an
absolute triumph, for it carried with
| it really cheerful philosophy Of sun
shine and gladness. rs
The production recently scored I'M
precedented success in all of the
largest cities in the United States
and will be seen at the Colonial the
alter during tonight, tomorrow and
Wednesday,.
"Pollyanna" has rightfully been
named the Glad picture, and it
lives up to its name, carrying across
the screen the radiant message of
"gladness'yi as the true secret of hui
man joy
The crowded audience that vel
coined the picture last evening was
q most responsive one and enthusi-
astically expressed its appreciation Of
the skillfully produced picture of a
wholesome and. simple story, in
which tenderness and romance were
hand in hand with laughter and joy,
as Pollyanna taught folks to be

There is little wonder. why the
