MURRETTE

Through the Back Door" is the
latest film at the Murrette theatre.
This photo-feature, the basic idea
for which was supplied by Little Mary
herself, was prepared for the screen
by Marion Fairfax, well-known seem

from anything Miss Pickford has yet
attempted in that the story touches
upon an angle OF martial relations
