NEW P|CKFORD FILM

Who could follow the newspaper ac- counts of Mary Pickford's recent well come in Europe without the thrill of pride that "our Mary" had captured the old country? And when she re- turned to America how the fans did wonder when she would get to work on her next picture.
 The announcement at last was made that Mary Pickford had started to work in Hollywood on a picture which she confidently expected would make a mark on the picture horizon as wide as did her Tess of the Storm Coun- try"
 The picture has been finished. It is "The Love Light" and it is booked to begin it's engagement at the Strand Wednesday. This engagement is a rec ord for Phoenix in the matter of ob- taining quick showing. It was released Jan. 16 and it will be shown here just ten days after the release date.
 Pre- release showings for the benefit of reviewers and critics were imme- diately followed by host of dispatch es, telegrams and advices containing volumes of praise for Mary's latest pie ture. She has reached a goal she | set; she has made a picture which to l sum up all opinions will rank as con- taining all the pathos of Studs" all the fun and happiness of "The Hoodlums,' . all the romance of Daddy Long Legs
 and an even greater dramatic value than Tess of the Storm Country"

IL was pleased and satisfied audi ence that left Maulx's Columbia theater yesterday afternoon after witnessing Ralph Ince's latest special, Red Foam" an adaptation of W. H. Ham by's story in the Saturday Evening Post. There we're no doubt many among the large group of spectators who had read the original story, and it is safe to assert that they were the most pleased of all, because Ince has succeeded in presenting on the screen all the best points of the novel, and in addition has interpolated many master full touches that emphasize the drama tic power of the picture.
 Zena Keefe is seen as high-strung sensitive wife who is compelled to en- dure the abuse of an ill-natured and unjustly suspicious husband, the latter character being excellently portrayed by Harry Tighe. Huntley Gorden has what is practically the principal male role as Arnold Driscoll the man who comes to the rescue of the unfortunate wife, and finds himself in the tragic predicament of being accused of the murder of the woman's husband A most surprising twist to the plot in the very last scene makes the de- nouement most unexpected and wei come
