when Mary Pfckford will be pre-
sented in her splendid production Of
Little Lord Fauntleroy," the ia
mous story by Frances Hodgson
BurHett. Little Lord Fauntleroy"
Is Miss Pickford's latest and, in
some respects, greatest contribution
to the literature of the screen. 1t
affords her one Of the greatest dual
roles of her entire photoplay career
andSits production in cinema form
marks one of the most powerful and
magnificent production enterprises
the Ademure and fascinating little
star has ever undertaken. Alfred
E Green and Jack Pickford have
collsborated in the direction of this
latest Pickford masterpiece. The
scenario of Mrs Burnett's noted
story was prepared by Bernard Nc
Conviile and the cast that Miss
Pickford has gathered in her sup
port includes such notable and dis
tingufshed screen players as Claude
Gillingwater. Joseph Bowling.
James Marcus, Fred Malatesta,
Kate Price, Rose Dione and many
others
Miss Pickford assumes with con-
summate art and grace the exact
ing dual role OF Little Lord Faun-
tleroy and the mother who is de-
voted TO his interests. In both parts
she is utterly charming and the
manner In which she handles the
trying exigencies of her role Is one
to excite enthusiasm. Owing to the
great length of Little Lord Faun-
leroy, which begins its premiere
Washington engagement this after
noon, the usual program features
will be omitted, although Director
Brusilof. of the Columbia Symphony
Orchestra, has arranged a charm
ing musical score for the produc-
zion.

tie location work was required Is
in her current United Artists Of
fering. Little Lord Fauntleroy",
which begins q special holiday en-
gagement at Loew's Columbia, be-
ginning this afternoon at o'clock.
With the exception of q trip to
Burlingane, Cal. where the castle
exteriors were taken. the entire
picture was made in Los Angeles at
the headquarters for the Pickford
force.
This has not meant, however, that
Little Lord Fauntleroy" Is an eco
nomical picture. On the contrary, 1t
is by far the most expensive cine
ma undertaking Little Mary has
ever attempted. The cost of the
sets alone runs into figures that
sound like a statement Of Americas
war debt. In addition to the largest
interior set ever built, there were
several sxteriors that were gigan-
tic in size and stupendous in cost
Despite the fact that every efror,
was exercised to bring sane expen-
ditures. the nature OF these settings
necessitated tremendous outlay
of money in order that they might
be interesting, realistic and ar
tistic.
Among the settings that are
bound to provoke much favorable
comment are the interiors of DORM
court Castle. the New York street
scenes, the Dorincourt Lodge and
the peasant homo Of Mrs. Higgins.
The widest extremes possible are
represented in these reproductions,
built As they are from the vivid
colorful descriptions Of Mrs. Bur-
nett, author of his perennially pop
ular tale. The variety manifested
N these sets forms the basis upon
which Is built the ssIng
drama pathos and uproarious COM
