to prove a most enjoyable engage
ment
1t marks Mary Pickford's first visit
10 Phoenix for several weeks. and it
likewise marks what the reviewers
have claimed is not only one of the
finest pictures Mary Pickford has
ever made, but one of the most per-
feet examples of book adaptation TO
the screen known in many years.
There looms In the production OF
Little Lord Fauntleroy'' several an
giles that mark it as an exceptional
achievement In the first place, it
presents Mary Pickford in one of the
most difficult dual tons
ever assigned feminine star, and 1t
marks the second dual presentation
she has ever done since her advent TO
the screen. "Stella Maris" was the
other picture, but in that production
the roles were at least interpreta-
tions of those of. somewhere near the
same age. while in the present film,
she not only portrays the role OF
Little Lord F'auntleroy" an exu-
herant boy, but Dearest" his mother.

is laid, but of England as well. 1t
will also cause a positive sensation
in the settings. and the care exercised
even to the most minute detail.

nobleman whose escapades In New
York covered almost every angle OF
fun and mischief. as well as adyen-
tllre and romance, and many the

happy recollections whenever the

perhaps on account of the unlVersai
