MARY PICkFORD'S
GREATEST PLAY
(Soon to be Shown at the Liberty
Theatre)

! Critics everywhere assert that
''Pollyanna" is one of the greatest
picture-plays ever filmed. The rea-
son for this is that the philosophy
upon which the story is based consti-
tuted theme which at the present
time has an unusually wide appeal.
This production will be the feature
at the Liberty Theatre next Thursday
and Friday.
Undoubtedly Mary Pickford, with
characteristic far-sightedness, had
this in mind when she chose this cele-
brated work as her first vehicle for
the United Artists Corporation.
There is great craving at the
present time on the part of the pub
lie, according to best informed
showmen, for something more than
mere entertainment Of course, di-
version is always Z the paramount
thing whenever amusement is con-
sidered, but at the same time people
want something big and compelling
something that will drive home
few truths without preaching
sermon or spelling the flavor of
show which is meant to entertain.
Such story is "Pollyanna", with
its cheerful philosophy of gladness.
Tt is believed that this production,
coming at time when the country
is upset by period of readjustment,
will have an unprecedented recep-
ton fir n the picture patrons.
Miss pickford points ont in this
story that even when things are bad
they might be worse. This thought,
planted in the minds of people who !
are dissatisfied with wage conditions,
Or who think they are not getting a
fair price for their goods, will tend /
% stimulate line of mental activ-
ty which will result in stabilizing
The most progressive of the pic
ure stars believe in choosing plays,
wherever possible, which will act as
propaganda fof good. 1t is their
to have each screen medi-
I'M serve definite purpose, and with
his in mind Mary Pickford decided
0 picturize Eleanor H. Porter's
amous book. So "Pollyanna" is a
lcture with a mission.
