afforded an opportunity for the dis
play of talent equalled only in such
previous productions as "Pollyanna"
and Daddy Long Legs" Arrange
ments were recently completed by
Manager Mark McManus of the Opera
House to show this production Friday
and Saturday. 1t is the first picture
in which Little Mary ever worked un-
der the guidance of two directors. AL
fred E. Green and Mary's brother Jack
sponsored this production, and the re-
suit of their combined efforts is said
to prove further the truth of the old
adage, "TwO heads are better than
one."
An outstanding feature of Through
the Back Door" is the delightful COM
edy sequences scattered throughout
the picture. In little girl role Miss
Pickford has a chance to become in
volved in innumerable complications
all provocative of mirth, yet touched
with that pathos which stamps this
greatest of all ingenues as mistress of
her art.
In addition to the clean, wholesome
fun with which this feature abounds,
there is found running through it a
counterplot of gripping drama i'll
which filial devotion becomes a domi-
nant factor. The struggle of child
to win recognition from her mother
and the seemingly insurmountable OBJ
stacles that intervene furnish the mo
tivating impulse for the story. Pro
fessional blackmailers, designing
"other woman" a misunderstood
husband and an "abused" wife all play
their respective parts in this unusua
photoplay which opens in picturesque
Belgium, then jumps to Long Islam,
and closes in business-like New York
