Without exception the members

today at the Colonial Theatre, con-
stitutes an even greater aggregation
of stage and screen stars than any
list of players that ever supported
her in any of her previous offerings.
Miss Pickford in the role of
| Dorothy Vernon is again the grown
young woman. This character, how
ever, is wholly different from that of
the little street singer so exquisitely
portrayed in "Rosita," the picture in
which Miss Pickford first assumed
grown-up role.
The part of Sir John Manners is
played by Allan Forrest, who recent
ly worked in Jackie Coogans "In the
Palace of the King"
Anders Randolf. who appeared in
'The Bright Shawl" takes the part
of Sir George Vernon, and Marc Nc
Dermott, well known on the stage
and screen, makes an admirable Sir
Molcolm Vernon, cousin of Dorothy,
to whom she has been betrothed
against her will.
Queen Elizabeth is interpreted by
Glare Eames, we'll known in both
this country and Europe for her bril-
liant work as England's famous
queen.
Estelle Taylor, popular screen star,
who has just finished with Cecil De
Mile in the Ten Commandments"
