 He thought, as many males think that woman's real aim in life is to look charming and he also thought his school could be made to do a lot for the girl by educating her along approved lines in just how to look charming instead of cramming her head with a lot of figures. He be- lieved in figures, but he thought they should play an altogether different part in every girls life.
 He changed things around when he became the owner of the school and while he might not have suc- ceeded along lines laid down by the best of modern educators. he cer- tainly tickled lot of girls almost silly by his innovations.

 Mary Pickford was not christened ..Americas Sweetheart for nothing. The sobriquet came to her because Mary made the most lovable little girl in all the long list of picture stars. She slipped into the harts of millions of fans because no other ever achieved such success in the roles of little girls as Mary. She made Tess of the Storm Country, and not until she gave to the screen Through the Back Door," has any other woman of pictures touched the mark of that never to be forgotten picture.
 Tess was a typical Mary character. Now she comes with one that is even greater, and one critic reviewing the latest offering from her studios says: Through the Back Door is just Mary Pickford and like Peter Pan, Mary will never grow up.' In the part of this little one who radi- ates the things that count in life, Mary is so winsome one has to stop and wonder what Ponce de Leon fountain of youth she has found.
 Never since she started pictures Is years ago has Mary had such ye- hicle. 1t is full of tears, laughter, comedy that rivals even the greatest of fun makers, Chaplain It is the picture that lovers of children have been calling for. It is human, clean, full of fine sentiment and it's humor is infectious.
 Concurrent with the showing of this modern work of the film makers l Richards and Mace will show the very first picture Mary made 15 years ago. l The contrast will be novel, to say the least Through the Back Door opens at the Strand Wednesday. The Hip

FANS INSPECT
LOCAL BATTLERS
Nine Rounds of Milling Pre-
sented to Legionaires
Tuesday Night.

Fight ANS got another glimpse of
the local battlcrs last night, when
four OF the Grand Forks leather push
ers appeared in exhibition matches
at the American Legion meeting at the
Commercial club.
Curious eyes followed the move
ments of Perry Bliven, as he traded
blows with Kid Miller in a five round
bout, as he has not been seen in this
city for some time. but reports from
Montana, where he spent the sum
mer gave him creJit for a string of
kayoes n several decisions. Traynor
was n Of the unfortunate ones who
was mauled about the ring by the To-
cal boxer, who was given a shade by
the judges. Bliven is booked for a
bout in n Fargo show on January 1.
This glove artist has Undoubtedly
improved greatly since his appear
ance here. but in fairness it must be
stated that he was somewhat Of a
disappointment last night. He Is
fleet of loot and a shifty fighter. and
undoubtedly packs q haymaker in his
right, but he is prone to indulge in
%slugging, leaving himself wide open.
An opponent quick to take advantage
of this. could easily make Bliven's
solar plexus an exceedingly sore
spot.

was no slouch in the squared circle
and is capable Of taking care Of him
self. In the exhibition last night hi
stepped out n took the aggressive
a good part Of the time. He recently
got a decision over Berg Of Winni-
peg. touted as the leading welter-
weight Of thai city. He has less ex-
pericncc than Bliven, and hence is no
match for that battler. Miller relies
principally or a straight left, but if
he had beer moro free with a right
cross nc might have done damage to
his opponent.
Irving Quinn and Drexel Blivcn also
staged a four round bout. They are
a couple Of flyweights, who arc not
yet out Of their teens. but they put
UP a lively scrimmAgc. There is Il
doggedness and consistency of action
about young Quinn hat appeals to
the fight fans. He covers we'll and
swings a wicked right. Young Blivcn
does, fast and clever footwork. but
seems to have difficulty in landing
safely. The fans hope to zee more of
them in the future.
